"I don't always pass the ball, but when I do, I pass to Shaq" - Kobe Bryant - RIP
This is the most dunks I've seen a single player get in a game..Shaq was something else man
I thought the same, so I counted them, haha. He did 12 dunks!
He is just bigger than everyone. It’s not like he was working on “his game”. It’s like me vs a bunch of 10 year olds.
@@Budd631 that means he better then them
Best footwork of any big man ever
@@FOT2010 not better than Olajuwon
The craziest part is Shaq looks bored 😂😂 he casually scored 48 without trying
@Square one Levi not only that. He is really fast for his size as well. Most guys guarding him couldn't handle his quickness
Shaq’s not even in good shape. He rarely was. Otherwise he would have put up Wilt-type stats.
@@MrBimirud healthy Shaq on Lakers would've averaged 33-35 points per game at ease. His beef with Kobe was caused by Shaq used all his off season for vacation instead of using at least some of it for recovery, and he ended up having to spend a part of regular season to get back in shape instead of bulldozing everyone already. It did cost them the 2004 championship at least. Shaq with work ethics half as good as Kobe would've been at least had two seasons as the top dog with Wade. He was scary good.
this is why he can talk all he want
This is one outstanding game but If he had a better free throw percentage, he would have won the title with the Magic. But he was too lazy to practice. He has Wade and Kobe to thank for the titles he got.
@@robeiur That's trash talk. He won 3 straight finals MVP while playing with Kobe. It's a team game, there are always 4 other players on the court but Shaq did a major part of the Carry job for his Championships with the Lakers. Stop with the Dumb takes.
@@robeiur Google is your friend casual
@@robeiur do not be such a hater. The Magics was a lottery team when they got Shaq. In just his 3rd year with the team, he took a lottery team to the NBA Finals! How many years did Michael Jordan take the Bulls to the NBA Finals? MJ took 7 years to take the Bulls to the finals! Shaq led the Magics to the NBA Finals when he was 23 years old! He was far from his prime years. Besides, the Magics would have beat the Rockets in game 1 of the 1995 Finals...the Magics was waaaay in front of that game thanks to Shaq's dominance during half-time. Shaq performed just as dominant against Olajuwon's Rockets...check his stats. It was the rest of the Magics who failed Shaq! NICK ANDERSON, the 3rd leading scorer for the Magics who missed 4 straight free throws in the last few seconds of the 4th quarter that allowed the Rockets to take the game into overtime. If you look at the stats for that finals...NICK ANDERSON shot a dismal 30% from Free Throw!!! Considering Nick Anderson was a 70.4% free throw shooter in the 1994-95 season! Shaq shot a respectable 57.1% from free throw in that finals series! Shaq's other stats in that finals series? 28pts per game, 12.5 rebounds per game, just under 60% field goal percentage (59.5%), 2.5 blocks per game! Shaq was outstanding in the 1995 finals. The rest of the magics, specially Nick Anderson, failed that franchise, not Shaq!
It's not as if Penny failed during that series. Nick Andersons did in fact fail off of missed free throws yet there were lesser factors that connected to why the Dream lead said Rockets to a second title. The story gets told regardless when you go back to the tape. It was a classic case of an upset.
That spin move to alley up The Diesel used to do was sick, you don't see that shit no more. Love you Big Fella
That's Barbeque chicken, westcoast style
Shaq called it the shaw shaq redemption. There's a mix on it on youtube somewhere I think.
It was unreal, as good as it gets.
Davis does it sometimes
@@kewlozer7979 Davis can't even run full court without getting injured bruh he ain't doin' none of that
I love how the highlight shows the freethrows that he makes. Amazing.
Shaq did all this and he wasn't even in shape...he was scary. And in today's game, he would just be ridiculous...
He was in shape at that time junior
@@boristheb1ad3x67 It's visible in the video that he wasn't. His body fat was such that his muscles weren't particularly visible, and when he run, certain parts of his body went up and down...;-).
@@axilmar254 Boris The Senior probably haven’t seen the Orlando Shaq.
@@bullymaguire6773 and you were still swimming in your dad's ball's when Shaq played for Orlando not to mention he was a rookie a young player. I don't know why you choose to talk since you are not old enough. Shaq played 10 more years after this game so yes he was still in shape. You talk about Shaq age 20 in Orlando compared to Shaq age 30. Have you seen how lebron Gianni's and other looked when they entered the league and how they look now. No you probably haven't since you also probably never watched that either. So learn the sport first then talk about it
@@dalic24 Shaq was out of shape in 03’, he was in his best shape in the 99-00 season and in his absolute physical prime. After the first chip he progressively got heavier and it caused a lot of friction between him and Kobe. At this time he was roughly 20-30 lbs overweight.
Prime Shaq? Nothing you could do to stop him. He was amazing.
this is the reason why he was the finals mvp 3x with kobe.
No it wasn't, Phil wanted the offense ran through Shaq. You could've put prime MJ with that Shaq and he still getting 3 Finals MVP

The celtics from the EAST didn't have to worry about Shaq but only twice a year. The western conference however had to load their rosters with big men just to have a chance in the playoffs
The Spurs were the only team that could go toe to toe with the Lakers in the early 2000s
@@goldenstatewarriors4011 did you forget about the kings??
@@josealfredo3362 they were only good like 3 seasons in the early 2000's. But I do agree they were robbed of a finals appearance.
that's where kobe stepped in the game during those years, kobe always had crazier games than shaq in the western playoffs cuz meanwhile the western teams stack big men to wrestle shaq inside, they have no match ups for kobe, and when the lakers gets into the finals, shaq can have all the bbq chickens he wants against those telebubbies onthose eastern teams
@joceja23 watch your games kid
This was Kobe's best year in LA while Shaq was still on the team and I'd still say it was Shaq's team. Kobe was nuts to think an old-school pure center who could shoot 65% from the field shouldn't have gotten the ball every play. If Shaq was focused and Kobe wasn't trying to be Mike prematurely, the Lakers could have 4-peated and could have gotten more in the falling years.
Solid post!
A dominant center can’t win by himself and neither can a dominant shooting guard.
@@NikoBellic20080 Hakeem won by himself in '94 and Duncan won by himself in '03. No All Star or All NBA players on those teams except those big guys.
@@blackphillip564 what, im pretty sure the rockets had a pretty good team around hakeem, same with spurs.
@@coloneldusty4476lmfao
Wow! Those were the days. Lived in LA during that championship era with Shaq at the height of his powers- as well as Kobe (R.I.P. 🌅☝🏾💜)-went to lots of games and witnessed for my own eyes-what an incredible time that I always appreciated and never took for granted!
This clip got me wondering if the celts did even have a center on the court
Yeah this is a glimpse to what happen when teams try to counter Shaq with small ball. Shaq got 48 points without trying that much.
Beantown54 takes a lot to admit the obvious. 🤡
@@michaelcarmichael1796 Laker fans classy as always. LOL
@@20fadhilRevolution that small ball would be a tall team now...Battie body is similar to GIANNIS... And they had Baker 6.11ft , but yes during that time it was a small ball.
He talked the talk, And walked the walk.
3:26 "crowd would love to see the big fella shoot a three" Now 18 years later crowd is tired of seeing big fellas only shoot threes lol
Prime Shaq 🥵🥵🥵🥵
The moment centers started shooting threes I knew basketball fundamentals was over... Ain't nothing like the old school days straight big men post ups and facial dunks 💯
Preach my man, preach🙌🏀
there is more talent in shooting 3s than being a giant and smashing people
That is stupid isn't shooting and free throws part of fundamentals and given the rate at which they were fouled they should have practiced free throws to make them al least 83 percent of the time.
Rules changed so teams adapted, better to pernitrate and move ball rather than get it to post unless you are Jokic or Embiid. Problem is all follow one suit, develop what you are good at mentality is still not there for centers and that is the problem
@@samarthbhatnagar347 that's true I agree they should adapt shooting from beyond the line but when you have back to back to back to back to back threes all game which I have seen in a few of these games it's like what's the point of real fundamental skilled basket ball cause at this point I can see by the next 5 to 10 years everybody is gonna be shooting from half court and it's gonna become the new norm and where I'm getting at with this is that there's nothing more better then seeing skilled big men in the paint with foot work hooks dream shake moves and facial dunks then just shooting threes I get that it's good so you can win the game but at least put on a show with the skills you know I guess it's just my taste that I rather see big men with skilled post moves then every body chucking up threes that's all...
It’s almost comical seeing these guys trying to D-up Shaq. They have no chance 😂🤣😂
Its scary.. completely unstoppable

This video is a perfect example of how Kobe was Robin and Shaq was Batman
Yeah Draymond could definitely stop him… 🥴
Draymond Red could never
Idc whoever it is no one can guard shaq rn
His footwork is beautiful for a man his size
Kobe, Horry, Fox, Shaw, Devin George, all took turn and made good entry pass to Shaq for easy dunks. the only person who couldn't was Derek fisher. Dude that is the single most easy way to punch up your assist rate yet to Fisher it is impossible.
2003 season shaq is the biggest body in his career.
Yeah noticeable if you compare 2000 shaq to 2003 shaq. I think even 2004 shaq is in better shape.
*3:22** Amazing! Shaq was so exciting to watch!*
Shaq walking up the rim slowly like Godzilla on that full court outlet for the offensive put back dunk, pfft, that's pure dominance. You could put bench players all around him and run a play like that lmao, I mean it was Phil Jackson too though. But also the Celtics defense is mind boggling, they're full court pressing to stop Kobe/Fox I'm guessing? But they just let Shaq stand by himself all the way at their basket LOL. What did I just watch. Guess they just picked the wrong poison.
That’s why Kobe says if Shaq wasn’t lazy they could have gotten 10 rings. That dude scored 48pts playing half-heartedly 😂
That Lazy guy carried Kobe through 3 championships
@@shotguner4258 If wasn’t for Kobe when Shaq got fouled out they wouldn’t have won that year so what u mean?

Today NBA? Weak rules and players
And people wonders why shaq roast guys like Rudy Gobert And Dwight Howard lol 🤣
Dwight Howard is number one all time in dunks tho
Howard is a clown and always Will be. Joking and clowning around in a crucial game, or any game. That's why Kobe Hates him
Dwight was almost just as dominant in Orlando. Rudy Gobert is 🚮 though
@@DaGr8Depression Dwight had none of Shaq’s footwork and post game. He was just big and extremely athletic. He was a bit too nice while Shaq took great pleasure beasting his rivals.

Wrong. Wilt put up numbers against people who had 9-5 jobs
Nah hakeem.
@@BounceHeaven The 60s is still the most HoF center era of all time. Dude was playing world class volleyball until the age of 50. He would be the best in any era
@@xXEliminatorXx99 so everbody suck at volleyball in 60s
@@ziginaigra If that's the narrative you want to present go ahead. There is footage of Wilt's incredible athleticism. Look it up and tell us again how he wouldn't dominate this era. When he shook Shaq's hands, Shaq began to stumble towards Wilt. By a handshake.
And that’s why the league was full of big guys trying to stop Shaq instead of all the skinny lanky guys that shoot 3 points.
But no more shaq and u win more games with 3 so?🤷
They say the dominance of Shaq effectively killed the big man as teams moved to the perimeter in order to neutralise the beg man trend
That's very true. You could argue that at least half of the teams in Shaq's days had to snub a couple skilled outside players every season, in order to make space for seven footers who had six fouls to put Shaq on the foul line with.
That's true. Good point.
Ben Simmons reading this comment: oh yeah man we can totally shoot yeaaa o ya 😎🙄
19/24 ? That’s unguardable.
Lol that's some 2k myplayer shit 😂😂😂
Shaq was Baby Wilt in this game
This is why they created the stretch 4 and 5. Who the hell would want to guard or score against this dude?
Except it won't work against Shaq. He was far heavier against virtually everyone and deceptively quick on top of it. Having multiple bodies that can rack up fouls is the only way.
Damn no wonder Kobe was jealous. But it made them both better.
A 7 foot 325lbs man shouldn't be able to move as quick and agile like this !!!!
He is over 325 in 2003 he is huge here
He's like 360 here
7'1 and over 325. He was 330 back in Orlando in the later seasons So yeah 350 plus
sheesh Shaq was just unstoppable
He was like steph for the inside the paint. Changed the game. If another one like shaq came back to the nba im sure it will change again
Zion could be that dude if he’s healthy
The dude took a grand total of 3 dribbles the entire video! I don't know if that's good or bad.
Imagine Shaq in this era everyone will lose confidence guarding him
@@paozap6086 wtf are you talking about? You sound like a weirdo with a persecution complex
Dude would be a huge liability on the defensive end in today's game where the floor is stretched.
@@Sbock86 His offensive output would out weigh any negatives on the defensive end. Plus shaq wasn’t the worst defensive center a team with him today could still have a top 10 defense.
Can we bring a healthy Scot Pollard? Sure he couldn't guard Shaq. But he always looked confident. He could easily guard Shaq if he didn't also have to guard the referees shoddy foul calling might I add.
@@Sbock86 nope- he would suck up 17 rebounds per game.
He looks out of shape here and he's still unstoppable.
He spent the majority of his career out of shape.
He looks fit enough. It’s not like his belly is leaping over his shorts and he’s laboring getting up and down the floor. To score 48 points and grab 20 boards one has to be in shape. He scored in a variety ways showing versatility in his offensive game.
@@cycleoflife565 Kobe and Shaq beefed over the fact that Shaq was overweight and out of shape in this 2003 season in particular. You can look at his face/neck and arm definition and see he's not in 1999-2002 shape
@@cycleoflife565 Orland Magic shaq was fit.
@@cycleoflife565 Don't be ridiculous. Shaq could have been a top 3 if he actually was in shape 2001-2012, But even out of shape Shaq was unstoppable until 2006ish.
Right before he destroyed those 37 quarter-pounders, 18 large fries 54 large cokes and 12 McFlurries. I love Shaq-Daddy but, he should of taken better care of that body. All these years later I'm still in awe of young Shaquille.
Tony Battie must’ve spent 3 hours after the game icing his body down.
Imagine shaq having kobes mindset and hardwork instead of partying dude would be the GOAT
That's hypothetical. There's a chance that he would get injured a lot more if he had to work in training too. Running and jumping up and down the court with a frame like Shaq's is a miracle itself.
@@nikosntais7323 lmao now THAT is the hypothetical, how can you tell if Shaq won't be obsessed in staying healthy? Kobe Bryant took tap dancing lessons to enhance his ankle. Shaq with Kobe mindset is basically Thanos
Phil Jackson said it best, he told Shaq that with his physical gifts, he should win 10 straight MVP's.
@@geezerfilms6652 Dude you remember how Kobe's career was the last 4 years coz'of the injuries? That has something to do with trying so hard in every play, every training. Lebron is way smarter preserving his body and not playing defense after he hit 30 and that's why he is still active and elite. It puts stress on your body. Guys at Shaq's size are more vulnerable to injuries. Yao Ming couldn't even last 8 years in the nba.
And really who the hell cares? Shaq won three consecutive finals MVP's and is one of the goats 🐐 He had an album that went platinum and a feat with Biggie. He became an amazing businessman and always been a great entertainer. Shaq has done everything in his life and I would take that anyday of the week than him being the best ever in a stupid game.
Phil Jackson being the all-time coach: Yep just dump it to Shaq
I like how they mic’ed up the rims for shaq games back then 😂
Yeah, those rims were loud as hell 😂
Shaq its dominant 😤😤😤
I remember when he went to LA people were crying basketball is over until he retires 😁
1997 WCSF: Jazz vs Lakers ( 4:1 ). 1998 WCF: Jazz vs Lakers ( 4:0 ).
Back when Basketball was actually watchable. I miss those days.
Unlike now. Basketball has gone dull. No even special players with special skills as before. It's now just direct play. The days of the o'Neil, Kobe, Garnett, Alan Iverson, Kemp, Jordan, pipe, studermoire, etc
How is basketball not watchable these days?
Cause Shaw had a lot of s “Skill” 🤣
@@jmgonzales7701 Too soft, too reliant on threes, which bores people to death! Not to mention the refs are atrocious... the overall skill level of an average NBA player is higher, can't deny that. Other than that, no it's not fun anymore. No interesting rivalries, most of the superstars are buddies, no different team playstyles, no pride(with some exceptions like Giannis, Dame, Beal), superteams all over the place. Did i mention SOFT AF?
For a non-playoff team, it wasnt bad of a performance by the Celtics. Pierce and walker held their own.
They won the year before at LA
Non playoff team???? Celtics went to the eastern conference finals in 02 03....walker and pierce was second in scoring behind shaq and kobe
@@manoffaith6952 It was '01-'02 I was living vicariously through that team. I see how you can get it muffled because they again got defeated by New Jersey. Indeed in 2003 they did squeak into and lost to the eventual conference champ. In the second round. They defeated indiana in the opening round...who they lost to in a subsequent playoff. Cool how that works.
@@bornyesterday8730 nevertheless that era they were a playoff team...and had a decent squad and decent bench...i just remember Rodney Rodgers jackin alot of 3s!!!
@@manoffaith6952 Only a Celtics fan would rate the trade of Joe Johnson positively. In full context. One counter point.

I really enjoyed Erick Strickland.
Man that mustve been demoralizing. Same play being run on you. Just throwing the ball near the rim...

How would anybody stop that in the league today?
Hell no
Ez, man. Refs and flops can stop him.
@@fatihpala721 Just like how people flop on Zion and Giannis right?
@@KofiWilliams My comment was obviously irony... but in today's game standard, i don't think Shaq can be that dominant we used to know.First in today's game, players are so soft, you can't use your full strength otherwise you get offensive foul. And second, today's game pace is much higher than 90s 00s. If Shaq would play in this era with his body fat, i don't think he can be that effective when he was in prime. He would get tired more, use more energy on transitions and defence and could not use all of his energy on offence.
@@fatihpala721 you need to watch shaq again. The only reason shaq got bigger was because he was tired of getting beaten up in the post because they historically do not call fouls the same in the paint as they do on the perimeter. Watch Orlando shaq because that's likely where he would have stayed at in today's league. That shaq was as fast and as athletic as anyone in today's league. Players being soft just means he kills it even more.
I wish it was in 4k
ppl forget how dominant shaq was cuz of the Kobe brand...but he carried that team
I agree, and DWade’s first ring doesn’t happen without Shaq.
What? “Because of the Kobe brand”? What is that? Shaq is as a force in his own right. I grow tired of folks tearing Shaq down to build Kobe up. They were both major forces in the sport.
This is what Shaq would average today
The bad boy of NBA strongest player of all time! 💪
A man among boys. Looked like Shaq was playing a high school team.
What a beast!
Shaqs dominate years was something else

He made the game so easy!
just too big , just too strong, just unstoppable!
there's sth very satisfying with shaquille's dunks
4:54 damn lol
This is why I dont trust Chuck when he said Shaq got carried by Kobe or Dwade.
East was weak at that time Kobe carried him in West against Spur Kings Trailblazer etc
Kobe didn't carry Shaq and vice versa. Kobe was putting 28 pts a game if I remember correctly. Dwade on the other hand carried an injured Shaq in the finals.
What Chuck is saying is that he would have won titles with Kobe. Which I agree with.
Chuck is joking when he says that. Anyone who played against Shaq knows that his teams from '92 till '04 were HIS teams.
@@apolloleo9801 bullshit. Kobe never carried Shaq. Ever. The entire Trailblazers team was constructed with Sabonis, Sheed, Jermaine O’Neal and Brian Grant plus 2 other 7 footers just to deal with Shaq- not Kobe. Spurs had 2 HOF defensive 7 foot anchors. But they had no match for Kobe’s youth and speed. That’s why they drafted 19 year old Tony Parker after Kobe destroyed their older guards.
Back when the big guy still got the footwork. He just twinkle toed around the hoops with ease.
Big men can run up and down the court shoot threes and dribble now days though

Would love to see this team against modern day teams. Shaq would dominate under the rim but against all this three-point shooters today?

If Shaq worked out or had a better work ethic, like kobe said, he could've been the best.
yea true but would his joints/body might have worn down faster
He was definitely the best center - maybe the best player in the league his entire run with Kobe. What more did Kobe want from the man?

He did, and succeeded. It was Kobe who built a brick house that series and refused to defer to Shaq.
If Shaq worked harder back then, Lakers could have won 6 more champions if they really want it.
He was the most dominant C in the game of basketball. Period
I remember shaq on NBA live. Hop step and then dunk. He was the same in real life
Damn talk about dominant.
This game shouldn't have been this close considering how dominant Shaq was! Just shows how an overall better team can compete and even beat a top heavy one. Wilt used to have games like this and yet people criticized him for not winning enough!
