Shaq on His Place in the GOAT Debate and His Mutual Respect With Kobe

Рет қаралды 441,554

Күн бұрын

The week on The Old Man and the Three we welcome the one and only Shaq. To start, JJ and Tommy preview the second round matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. Then JJ and Shaq discuss so much, including why Shaq calls out current NBA players like Dwight Howard, and how players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain treated him similarly. He also explains his balance of playfulness and killer mentality as a player, when he understood that he needed to put on a show, his approach to the Finals, and how he looked for slights as motivation. Shaq also reflects about the end of his career when he realized he wasn’t the same type of dominant player, and the grieving process that came with that. He also explains why he doesn’t think he belongs in the GOAT conversation, the burden of free throws, the metal respect that him and Kobe Bryant had for each other on the Lakers, and what he took away from that relationship into playing with Dwyane Wade. Finally, he breaks down the games of his idols in the 90s and current NBA players he’d pick to play with. Then, Sue Bird joins JJ and Tommy for a draft of movie monologues.

Thanks so much for stopping by the channel. Have a good weekend. Cheers.

Probably a better fit for Mind the Game but if you'd consider a Q&A section but here's two: 1. What percentage of NBA possessions involve a formal 'play'? 2. How are play calls shared without telling the the other team? Particularly in the playoffs where they likely have studied your sets

He will be surprised. I was. Many athletes see working on their mental game as a sign of weakness and it has nothing to do with that but with regulation and control of activation (among other things). He missed an opportunity and probably he will see it. I love Shaq and I hope he can see what S PSY really is.

As a kid all I wanted was Shaq joining my Lakers. When that happened, the LA dynasty that was born out of Shaq/Kobe/Phil and supporting cast was mighty awesome! However, the more I learn about Shaq from TV series about him, podcasts, the bigger chasm in my aadmiration for him and Kobe. I mean, Shaq's a big boy, but the Black Mamba is the real deal!
