***** Was that supposed to be a diss? lol Shaq is the best center of all time! I would put The Dream at number 2.

+GHOSTzF4C3 negative, when he hit his prime dogged everybody... Total domination

+GHOSTzF4C3 Shaq made everybody look like nobody...

Anthony Becker Kareem 1 Hakeem 2 shaq 3

Mitchell Rauma Kareem was amazing forsure but early 00s bulked up shaq would be a huge problem for anyone ever from any era... Kareem was slim ... 2000 mvp shaq was what shaq should've been every yea but his work ethic and dedication was lacking and kobe called him out on it and shaq got pissy

kenpachiclay11 people seem to forget how unstoppable shaq was .. shaq use to destroy Duncan inside... shaq got lazy and that's what cause kobe to question his work ethic... kobe and shaq only had 1 true year that kobe truly let the game flow thru the diesel and it was beautiful the 01 playoffs and finals . .. they sweept prime duncans spurs and the loaded kings and blazers... kobe and Shaq would feast in today's watered down small ball shit .. Phil would slow the game down and feed the post and shaq would destroy these small bums of today

+Jacob Blackamore with skill footwork touch and high IQ

He's actually 7'0". He could be shorter than that now. Also you don't have anytime to pray during the game. All you need is to go Aomine all over him.

You could do whatever Hakeem did in the 1995 Finals.

Gaylord Striver average 28 a game on 60% shooting? doesn't sound like The Dream shut him down.

Josue Preza it’s funny because if someone averages 40 someone can make them average 30 and people say he shut them down 😂

That is the exact reason that they did and it's a known fact.

It didn't matter Shaq still dominated n went ahead to win 2 more ring with lakers n Miami

I wouldn’t take any one over this version of Shaq

LOL seriously can you imagine him bumping that stick figure Wemby lol

@Arson Hakobyan 🧢

@Arson Hakobyan He was only faster and better on defense in 94

@Arson Hakobyan that's not true. In 2000 shaq was the best version of himself because Phil challenged him to get into great shape and he had more experience.

@Arson Hakobyan Shaq was not better in 94 than 01 or 02

in today's rules no hand checking shaq could average 50 EASY!

Shaq would have so many more offensive fouls called on him in todays game

Jebuiz y'har depends... Shaq would def average 35 and 15 easy or better .... no center today is even close to prime diesel

Joshua Haynes no center back in 2004 was close either you guys need to get your eyes checked and stop thinking every thing is better in the past. And in today's NBA DeMarcus cousins is more valuable to a team offensively. Cousins is a way better passer ( even tho Shaq is a good one too can shoot) a better shooter. While Shaq cant shoot two free throws to save his life he would get hack a Shaq every time and will not be able to play a full game if he throws elbows and everything. Don't get me wrong I know what Shaq can do and I know that he is better than boogie for sure.

not only that, he is very quick

DAVID HE Pretty much. Prime Laker Shaq. The most dominant player post-Jordan era.

+Benji Torralba more dominant than Jordan...even Phil Jackson said that

RUMPELSTILTSKY this shaq in this video is the most.dominant force of the modern era... kobe and shaq only had 1 true year where kobe played thru the diesel and tbey sweept everyone... kobe was slightly selfish all he had to do was play thru shaq and tbey easily win from 00-06 ..

@@joshuahaynes7128 2000 & 2001 Championship with out a doubt was Shaq lead 2002 though was equal

They were the West Coast Magic Shaq and Beans and the Lakeshow smh. Imagine if Penny joined that team in the summer of 1999 wooooooo damn man crazy they would have won 73 games instead of 67 wow

@@ernestboykin3rd706 Man Shaq, Kobe and Penny big 3 would be absolutely op and unfair. They would easily win 4-5 straight championships. 😎

@@Theterminato2013 stop fantasizing superteams, it was different back then

This was best Lakers team and NBA team of all time as good as Sacramento was they still got swept like the spurs that year Lakers went 15-1 record and Kobe said they beat any team in NBA history

LChris6 this 01 lakers team is the only year kobe truly let the game flow thru the diesel and they was unstoppable period . . If u have a beast like early 00s shaq u gotta play thru that man.. shaq is underrated man . Yes shaq was lazy and didn't even trult get to the level he was capable of because of desire and kobe called him out ..

“Arson” you sound stupid stop trying to discredit the competition in 2001 they played good and great teams the lakers were just to dominate that year in the playoffs

I’m talking about 01 playoffs . Regardless what record was the 01 lakers was a better playoff team in 01

I’m a huge Kobe fan but ofcourse he should’ve deferred to shaq more , they would’ve won 2/3 more rings if Kobe just played thru shaq . Kobe shot them out of the finals against the pistons . But shaq was outta shape against pistons , he certainly wasn’t this shaq in this video

@@teddyhaynes9876 The year Shaq lost to the Pistons was actually the 2nd best of his career in postseason ws. Plus he got out of the West in the first place so you can't use the "out of shape" excuse, the Pistons were just a bad matchup they nearly swept the series. Horry wasn't with the Lakers by that point either which also played a factor considering his impact the following year against the Pistons w/the Spurs.

yeah that was hilarious🤣

In his career at the free throw line there has been alot of clanks lol facts

Who cares guy wins period!

Bill Walton was amused.

At 1:58 Kobe missed layup sounded like the same thing must be an audio thing or Shaq broke the rims on a dunk.

BARBECUE CHICKEN!!!!!!

1:09 phil jackson reactions though

Couldn't have been said any better.

+theheebs100 cousins most physically dominant big today??? marc gasol and anthony davis are both better and more physically dominant than cousins. i agree that shaq would dominate the league today in his prime

+11lesdoon Anthony Davis more physically dominant are you high?I would say Andre Drummond and Marc Gasol maybe but thats about it

Yea homeboy trippin... Boogie is the most physical center in the game today.. He actually plays angry..

colin reed based on the merit of an insult, that proves your argument? marc gasol is a physically dominant big in todays game. we can argue about who is better but don't take anything way from gasols skill set

Lol Cousins bullies people i am not saying Marc aint skillfull but he is not physical. He is soft.

nonplayerzealot4 I'd take this shaq over any player I've ever seen and I've watched ball since early 90s

thanks man love these old shaq highlights so dominant.

gerizzyYMcrew u srs or trollin

+kobefan124 where do u get these highlights from? is there somewhere I can watch the full games?

🤣🤣🤣

Lol

Drummond and Cousins

jgk381 Drummond and cousins would get owned by this shaq

Mystic Soulless it really is sad ..... the warriors are a great team but there kryptonite is prime shaq lol imagine draymond getting manhandled by the diesel.. and kobe would do his thing and big shot Horry and dfish would play tough d on.curry... Phil would slow the game down and bang inside and foul out there whole frontline lol

CLewey44 40 a game easy... Shaq damn near averaged 40 and 20 in the 2000 NBA finals at 61 percent fg percentage

I think in his prime, probably close to it. well over 30 for sure.

There hasn’t been a force like Shaq since he retired .

+Robert Perry yep

When Gianni’s wins 3 finals mvps in a row averaging 35/17 fg percentage over 60 percent then we can compare him to Shaq

I think he just likes the bald style

1995 dream would get bodied by this version of Shaq , in 94/95 finals Shaq stil averaged 25/14 against prime peak Hakeem , Shaq in 95 was still young and slim , he wasn’t bulked up mvp Shaq yet ..

pingKING94 it's easy to see ... shaq haters like to say hakeem shut shaq down in 95 but shaq still averaged 28 and 14 but hakeem was a veteran and shaq was still super young and his body wasnt close to early 00s shaq.. this shaq would own any center ever on the block period

@@joshuahaynes7128 100% they always bring up a baby shaq losing to Hakeem but never the fact Hakeem only won championships when Jordan retired

Somewhere, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is laughing at this statement 😂

bowdownclown Shaq is the best center of all time.

@Arson Hakobyan Kareem is the best center ever. Shaq is the most dominant player ever.

@Arson Hakobyan Shaq's more dominant than Wilt for the same reason that Jordan is greater than Wilt-pure dominance. Shaq's dominance is pure. He looked doninant even while playing a team game. Wilt only looks dominant when he plays selfishly. Once he stopped playing selfishly, he wasn't seen as dominant anymore. Shaq has a high basketball IQ. He knows how to dominate while playing a team game. Wilt doesn't. Wilt just pads his stats and brags about the records he set.

@Arson Hakobyan No. I think Wilt os a better player. I think Shaq is just more individually dominant than Wilt

Hulk*

I cant believe people compared Dwight Howard to Shaq haha ... shaqs past prime down years was like Dwights best year.. when did Howard ever averaged 25 plus a game? Shaq was a 28 and 13 guy all thru the 90s and then he's peak was 00-01-03-04

Free Throw 48 pct and the FG is 60 pct

+Enjoy Pistons no dipshit 62%free throw pct. and 48% field goal ..

Anthony Lee because against west bigs like Duncan, Robertson, etc . kobe was that guy in the tough playoffs

Henry Tran shaq use to own Duncan on the block . .. but i agree tho kobe was the man against the West teams .. kobe and.shaq is the most talented 1-2 punch ever

Stay off crack

The series was rigged

100% was a foul to the point where it looked like Jason Williams stubbed his finger after pushing Kobe fuck out here with this rigged bullshit even if it was rigged the games where always close in the end better team won
