When Shaq gets serious and stops clowning he is extremely insightful. Learned a lot watching this. The Big Aristotle indeed!
I can’t take him seriously with those glasses though 😆
It only took you how many years shaq been on tnt to understand that? Nice self report bro. 🤣
@@LightskinSaiyan he was probably tired AF
And when he’s not being sensitive about something someone said about him lol
They don't call him The Big Aristotle for nothing.
Shaq's been showing a lot of wisdom the past couple years. And hearing him say the petty back and forth w/ Kobe haunts him to this day made my heart heavy.
They both always pondered how many rings they would have if they stood by each other, but thing is, I don't think they would have the same value, reason some people argue Mj rings are not as valuable as say, Kobe's or Magic. They both wanted to prove they weren't nobody without each other, shaq got his on Miami, Kobe got his 2 on La.
I will DM you Nischelle, just now baby😍
And ofc she had to interrupt him just as he was talking about it 🤦♂️
@@rdgcury it’s a team sport. Both Magic and Kobe had some helluva of players when they won “by themselves”. Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Michael Cooper et. al. were not slouches by any stretch of the imagination.
@@adofominka8767 Pau Gasol was a top 5 MVP candidate 2 years in a row after he left LA while in Chicago..
Shaq not saying what Ben told him is real respect
I mean ya but that's just NORMAL etiquette. It's crazy people think that's like some noble thing lol that should be the norm
@Tommy thats because people tend to look at celebrities as they are saints
@@dimitrijekulak4874 right but if he thinks shaq is a celebrity saint, then why is he so surprised by him doin the right thing?
"If you can upset me, that means that you own me." Mike said a word right there.
That’s a super profound quote. Gonna have fun pondering that
Shaq's upset
I have to get better with that as I have a serious anger problem
@@twiss9341, I got one for you: Anger is a byproduct of Fear. E.G., You're walking down a dark alley, and your friend jumps out of the shadows and frightens you. When you realize it is your friend, your first instinct is to get angry at him because he scared you for a moment. But then you both get a good laugh out of it. But that rule easily fits in most situations when people get angry. The next time you get angry, try to stop and ask yourself what you're afraid of at that moment. And usually, for men, it's you feeling disrespected. When is usually why men get into physical altercations with each other.
Bs quote 😆
Nischelle is REALLY TRYING to squeeze blood from a stone HAHAHA
for real
Fr she don’t understand 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@paweeze3328 she understand, but to be a great reporter you gotta dig, she still got some facts out of the dm convo
Yeah she annoying af
@@Jon155mt how’s that annoying as a fan don’t you want to know that exact conversation?
Shaq scratching his feet the whole interview is hilarious
He need that Gold Bond 😂
💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣!!!...
😂😂😂😂 whatttttt . I had to rewind
I mean it's not an interview
Sometimes the comment section is better than the actual videos!
Shaq really stepped into his own as an analysis and as a big man godfather. Dudes gone from shoutin ‘google me’ and ‘ringz’ to really giving good criticism that will actually help grow the game of basketball
Exactly, I have to admit he was kinda exalting himself a bit back in the day. I noticed it right away when he took over for Chris Weber's short stint years ago on Inside the NBA. But now, I agree with you--this is wisdom. Gold nuggets that athletes like Ben Simmons needs to pick up and cash in on. 💯
That’s because he’s finally using his wisdom and finding better ways to communicate his thoughts. (Instead of being brash like he used to be… he’s more eloquent with the way he elaborates on other situations. Which is why I feel like E.J and the rest of the Inside The NBA crew was a great influence on him)
He still shouts that whenever he loses an argument lol It’s just different here because he’s not playing a character.
@@CulEdz Idk why it's so hard for people to understand that he's playing a character on that show lol
He still shouts that 😂😂
Just gimme Ben 6'10 height. I'll get the work ethic and mental toughness for his contract 😂😂
On god lol. Waste of talent lol
but you will never have talent
@@aarongottfried5595 you okay little girl?
Shaq talking about him and Kobe breaking up haunting him to this day was a way better topic than whatever Ben Simmons said. I don’t even think Michelle heard that tho. She was so focused on getting what Ben said out of Shaq smh.
Typical journalists smhh
smh typical crybabies in the comment sections smh smh smh
@@michaelangelo305s typical women*
“He messing the money up” that was the realest thing I ever heard. An NFL player would have been said that.
Wrong! He’s not getting paid and Stephon Marbury ruined that when Pretty Ricky was on the charts.
No NFL player would’ve said that. Their player’s union/power is a joke compared to the NBA. There is no 1:1 legacy like in the NBA. Lebron set a precedent for Rookie Zion and Lamelo getting insane money before their first game because he delivered.
@@grega3611 what do you mean 1:1 as in comparing NFL Players to NBA or NFL players to like and NBA to like . Cause I don’t know but rookie deals in both are similar since the last CBA in Both sports and Supermaxes aren’t that different from NFL QB contacts (QB contacts specifically) there’s literally not that much difference between between Josh Allen’s contract and Giannis’s contract. While one may have a bit more control it’s the money in the middle that’s different. Average nfl players don’t get great pay because the pie is spilt so many ways. That’s the only real difference. For each of those names there is an NFL equivalent. NFL rings are a bit harder to get (just statistically speaking because of the necessary moving parts) but as far as Rankings upon contemporaries , they have their comparisons. Besides only really making money is baseball
@@christopherhaynes8101 guaranteed money is the difference. Football has minimal to no guaranteed money within said contracts and the rest is incentive based. Most of said incentives are out of said players control i.e. if you play 65% of the snaps this season you'll get an extra 400,000. Well the team can literally shut you down towards the end of the season as a situational player to still utilize you but in turn keep you from hitting said mark. The moment any nba player sig s a contract the money written on said contract is fully guaranteed. That is the difference. The poorest nba player has more leverage in a situation he's in than any football player for the most part because no matter what the outcome is theyd still have to pay him what the contract states.
@@TheRealDillPickles if they were operating on the last Collective bargaining agreement you’d be a bit more accurate. But no minimum to guarantee ? I can rip off five contracts in the past 12 months with $100 million guaranteed at signing not contingent on any plays that’s just at the point of signing. As a matter of fact the last 4 major QB contacts had over 110 million guaranteed fully, Without having to play another down. I know we’re all basketball fans here but stay real here. And leverage your not going to tell me Isaiah Thomas has more power that Patrick Mahomes . Let’s be real your the poorest NBA player do not have it better off than NFL stars that’s just crazy. Just ask how the Brooklyn Nets are treating Kyrie compared to how the Green Bay packers treat AAron Rodgers . It’s not close . The middle talent in the NBA is treated better just because There are fewer players , that’s a larger slice of the pie to go around but let’s not act like the numbers don’t exist because we love basketball here. And yes is true that teams can do things to effect your numbers but basketball is the same way and we have a huge problem with player relations and medical staffs every team has an AB situation. Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with that his whole career.
And so it begins... Also, respect to Shaq for sticking to the bro code 😂 Nischelle was kinda pushing it ngl
I mean, he more or less gave the contents of Simmons' messages up with his replies to her. Pretty easy to figure out what he said tbh.
@@99TJS1 True. I just got the vibe that she was pushing it a bit, maybe it's just me
@@99TJS1 she was still pushing it though. He told his side of it.
She got it out of him in another way for a juicy segment
@@Podcastwithoutamic Naw..She did not stay legit or professional..Especially after stating " You disrespected him."- Twice..Than pushed for more right after..Showed herself as selfish and illegitimate.
Nichelle's kinda terrible... Shaq was going deep reflecting on his time with Kobe and then you cut him off.
I was so upset about that 🤦🏻♂️ Man we missed a moment
When Shaq talk sth that serious, everybody shd shut up and listen
Not to mention she tried 3 times to get Shaq to spill the beans.
Most intense/insightful thing I've ever heard him say, and she cuts him off. Disgusting
She’s a woman. Don’t be suprised
Shaq just critizing him the way he was critized when he was playing. If your great you will be critized, because they expect more from you. Which means they see so much potential in you, use it as fuel to get better.
Ben woulda got better these last 4 years if he cared about improving that’s why he hates being criticized
Great? If you are so trash your own team doesn't want you at the practice...
@@mattpassos5689 yep! Simmons is spoiled and surrounded by "yes men."
Dude spell criticized lol it’s confusing but it ain’t that hard
#4SHO THAT'S WASSUP OG bring younger Fam part of LIVING LIFE Wisdom grab it HARD so u can pass on much LUV 1000% real real TALK Home Folks 😇👼🏀💞💪🤘✌🙏🙏
I love that Shaq always shouts out Penny when he talks about the best! So many people forget how great Penny was.
I don't. Little Penny! The man in my mind was next to Jordon during those times and Jordon recognized game.
He's my favorite basketball player of all time, I started watching Memphis games because he's the coach.
@@JB-ty8mv who's Jordon?
@@mteokay1246 think they getting the bootleg Jordan’s thinking it’s real?! LOL 😂 Jk!
Age can bring wisdom and perspective. I respect Shaq for that.
It's not too many people like Shaq left. Respect OG triple OG 💯
What's OG?
@John Juan Original gangster
1:38 shaq is really smart and thoughtful
Shorty won't even let Shaq talk about how he's still haunted by leaving LA. She needs to chill bro 😭
Podcast sidekicks stay wyling too hard
Fr she needs to shut up
Yeah, that behavior from her was extremely annoying
Interrupted right as he was telling about the most intense thing I've ever heard him say 🤦♂️
@@atlebakke literally been waiting my whole life to hear him say that and she ruined it 🥲
One of the greatest things I gained respect of Shaq for is his honesty. Almost all the other players skirt around and hide from talking about the real things but Shaq gives the fans the honesty. If he and Kobe had just put aside that petty behaviour, they could’ve easily won 🏆 6+ and funny how decisions impact the future, Kobe may not have had to work so hard and gotten injured. Needless to say, they’d probably be both rated as top 5 all now.
Kobe is already ranked top 5
Shaq is an absolute legend on and off the court
Why can't this lady respect Shaq's code? He isn't going to tell you what was said. Just knowing a conversation was had is enough. Move on. smh
I’m saying
it's her job
Shaq said some profound things...Ben should listen before it's too late
"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
Shaq got G-14 Classification! Enough said
Shaq mad props for respecting the code.
Shaq didn’t disrespect him… he told the truth
Exactly!
Fr
A great take on money in the NBA, awesome perspective by Shaq.
I loved hearing about Shaq's insight and regret around what was left on the table due to egos. I would love to hear more about THAT.
Shaq is 💯 accurate w/his entire assessment. & that’s his LSU Alum but he’s keeping it real. Simmon’s is mad cuz he refuses to work on his game or shoot the ball. So he just gave up instead of getting in the lab. Weak smh
I've been saying this. Ben is absolutely killing that CBA right now. Plus, all the other guys forcing their way out of teams.
Credit to shaq being respectful of Ben’s privacy. And Ben May have some problems that we don’t know but this is too much
What was his problem? He can't shoot and doesn't want to be pushed to do anything. If he has issues they have been life long and has been hurting his team for years.
I really disliked Shaq early on in media. He had this insufferable jock attitude, and he still has some of that, but he has came so far. One of my favs.
His always been like this. You just like him right now because he doesnt like what ben simmons is doing right now lol
He just always been dominant
@@shinraix5041 thats false. Shaq went years without giving an inch to anybody. They coddled him on TNT. He has grown a lot in this role.
Ben Simmons is wasting his career smh
It’s barely been a year he’s good as of now
@@maverick_mekko5174 ok time waits for no one
Nah, he was wasting Embiids
He is garbage after the potential
Those were annoying follow up questions that missed the important stuff that Shaq was about to get into. But hey, the spotlight was on her and her journalism so that’s cool
Respect for not putting people's DMS in the public eye... I HATE when people do that. Privacy privacy privacy.... With that being said, Simmons is messing up the monies for all current and future NBA players.
Bro Shaq already said that. Why are you repeating what he said that Simmons is messing up the money? Read before you type. 🤦🏻♂️
@@ghnfyhj let him be. He can type whatever he wants, redundant or not.
Shaq speaking NOTHING BUT FACTS 🎯🎯🎯
“Great players get criticized but they also step up to the criticism and perform.” Ben hasn’t done that. He hasn’t stepped up to the criticism that he’s getting regarding his situation. He’s been at an impass with the 76ers organization and I don’t see the situation being resolved anytime soon.
2:57 Look at how her eyes bulged out when Shaq mentions ben dming him, then she proceeds to persuade Shaq into telling her what he said. The media is praying on Ben's downfall I'm telling you.
i mean she's a modern woman and a journalist she's almost obligated to be nosey, can't blame her lol
Just like Zion
Facts and the man ain't garbage he should've been defensive player of year last year and the man was a allstar. And the media is designed to tear players down they blame it all on Ben. He wasn't the only one that played bad. Again. I wouldn't do what Ben did I would play and get my trade value up but I don't totally agree with how they treating him
Lol, ole girl pushing the issue extra hard... "What'd you say?, Ok but, what'd you say, what'd you say to him?"
Shes acting like a Karen
Shaq, relevant to this day after years of retirement. Simmons, bye bye.
2019? Yeah Embiid had a bad series , that happens to everyone. Ben wasn't criticized for having a bad series , he was criticized for *running away from the moment* , for being too afraid to try!! Embiid was *trying* and lost while Ben was content to let his teammates do the work for him.
dang Nischelle , you like 90% of convo, Shaq was ready give history of Kobe , but you so busy trying be heard, Shaq had to say ,you on ya investigative ish too much .....chill Nischelle you are the host
The history is about Ben Simmons DM ShaQ. She did a Great Job at it. 6:30... She finally got a good answer.
Shaq goes "I'm from the hood I've been stopped by the police, I'm not saying noooting" then proceeds to agree with and add to what was asked 🤣
He’s also a cop, so that “I’m from the hood I’ve been stopped by the police” rings hollow.
Respect Shaq for not breaking code. You real man
"Walking around with them croc's on" Lol
Shaq you are a cop what are you talking about I’m from the hood I don’t say nothin? Your the one askin questions 😂😂
Shaq keeping it a stack and needs to listen Shaq showing tough love
Simmons to sensitive jus like Randle 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Shaq is speaking straight facts gotta listen to the OG
Leave "crocs" out of this. I wear cross. 🤣
Talk heavy big fella #FactsOnly
Shaq itching must be his feet lol love this dude
I love how Shaq said 3 times he wasn’t going to divulge the Ben message….And then she did the Jedi Mind trick on Shaq and it worked
Prolly just wanted to get off the topic of what he said
@@deleonjones8366 nicely said
I hate when interviewers ask the same question 5 times
Boy when he said I paved the way for all of you punks I was 😂😂😂😂
LOL @ "... took your ball and went home".
Nischelle interrogating shaq til he say wht she want him to say 😂😂😂
Maaaan, somebody get diesel some itching cream! My man struggling! Lol, love you Shaq!
The owners are gonna go for them hard the next bargaining agreement to send a message to the ben simmon's and kyrie's of the world
Absolutely. Definitely harsher fines for missed games
Yep that’s why Shaq said they messing the money up
Agreed with Shaq about some players being sensitive and punks. They could never survive playing with MJ or against MJ.
Shaq has been around Chuck so much he says “let me tell you something” as much as chuck lol
Ben Simmons tripping..... I'll change places with him quick asf!
Judge she is badgering the witness!! Lol
Is there anywhere to watch the full show. I listen on apple podcast
“He walk around in the street with crocs on”….😂❌🧢
Don’t like that she’s making definitive statements under the guise of “deducing” when he clearly didn’t want to expose whatever was said in confidence. Reporting is so invasive
Well spoken Shaq
D'Angelo Russell had no problem breaking the code or Scottie Pippen smh 🤦🏾♂️
I love Shaq but he ain’t from the hood. Dude grew up on military bases lol
Much respect to you Shaquille O'Neal, you're on a podcast or talk show, and which the majority of them which now includes women and a host of people on different talk shows and they have realized that in order to increase their ratings they need to invite and have Hall of famers or NBA players that are none of the plan to be part of their panels because they play the game and they know the game. We all know that everyone can speculate assume about players or teams but don't really know the inside scoop, so now the panel is trying to get you to break your code of silence because you bought it to their attention concerning what was said between you and Ben Simmons. I totally agree with Shaquille O'Neal, because anything else is speculation and gossip.
Thank u Shaq 💯💯💯💯
Love Shaq. Hated him when his Lakers were tromping my Blazers in the playoffs every year, but with some perspective, he is one of the best spokesmen for the league
Shaq says exactly what Charles says sometimes.
LOUDER!!
Can someone explain how do i watch the video podcast? The link sends me to some FM website with audio. But this clip has video. How do i watch the video version of the podcast? And why isn't it on KZhead.. this is a clip on TNT that's coming a day after the actual podcast...
Nischelle is good at digging! LOL
Shaq scratched his feet then rubbed his face 👁👁😂😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Shaq- " i don't have to hate, let me tell you something, i paved the was for all you punks" loool
This guy is really tight and he's growing greatly.
When pressed on what was said in the dms Shaq be like “sorry ran out of printer ink”
You know Ben Simmons it's watching
🤣
man is preaching with skii glasses on. GOAT
Shaq, This is real brother. Man up and earn your bread.
The woman and Ramona are hilarious, they try too hard 🤣
Shaqs right joel took it like a man didn't complain got better and used their advice and now hes an mvp runner up
I've got mental health issues. Prefer to keep it that most folks don't know. Strive to keep it that way. Won't wave it around to make y'all surrender.
He already messed up the money. He to busy worrying about what the Jenner’s are doing. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"Gotta Fly from Philly to Los Angeles, Maybe?!"
Nischelle is a BEAST! Great insights from Shaq.
Props to Shaq not breaking the bro code. Nischelle should work for the fbi hahaha
Shaq ain't lying on this dude. Ben Simmons isn't doing what he needs to do.
If he was more developed mentally, he could have done some interviews, work on his game, be professional about working with philly (but honest), and this would have blown over by now.
@@Garf2O This is true.
Shaq is rubbing those anteaters, feet 😆
Haha good one
Walking around with Crocs on! That is Barkeley.
Shaq's defense responses: × : "I have G14 classification." □ : "YOU BETTER GOOGLE ME CHUCK" △: "THAT'S WHY I HAVE 4 RINGS AND YOU DON'T" ○ : "I'm the most dominant big man in NBA history"
Shaq, is one of the "REALEST" brothers out there PERIOD 💯 No cap!! Incredibly knowledgeable, and insightful..His father gave him the right upbringing & he has made a career out of it!! 👍🏾👌🏾😉💪🏾💯💯 Big Diesel is definitely the man!!
Yes cap. Simmons isn’t getting paid. Shaq just pulled that out the air. Stephon Marbury messed that up a long time ago.
Dr. O'Neal right there giving encouraging words to current NBA players left and right. You better listen.
Ben Simmons went in Shaq Dm (LOL)😂😂😂😂
Poor Ben Simmons, his life is so hard.
Being paid $40 million and won’t play cos his feelings have been hurt. 😂😂
@@bwillwin1505 I could never. This dude is spoiled to the core instead of being grateful for what he has. It’s mind boggling
He so right my Guy Big Shaq
Shaq got those goggles on bc he toasted
Shaq was great in this one. Sometimes he gets on my nerves cause he gets sensitive but he was spitting truths.
Ain’t he the police 😂😂😂😂
