Its hilarious hearing shaq talking about guys being sensitive when hes like the most sensitive player ever
Facts
Someone pull up tha compilation of shaq complaining about steve nash wining mvp stead a him
& he actually says “I’m not sensitive” 😂
He's projecting
Facts
Cap , Shaq was 100 % serious when calling out Dwight over the years. He saw Dwight as a threat for many years , that’s my opinion atleast
a threat to what? Man stop lol
for real. And second, he straight up bullied JaVale Mcgee, which he owned up to and apologised for, but it happened.
100%. Shaq had a fragile ego and Dwight came along and competed with his legacy as a Magic big man. I am a fan of Shaq but the dude is a hater toward Dwight
And he never got close to being a threat but shaq was definitely threatened and when Dwight started doing the Superman thing. Shaq be hatin on Dwight...
Dwight was never a threat to shaq. Shaq gets in his feelings when you take things from him. Dwight took the Superman name, and shaq was extra petty about it. Nothing new. Dwight’s great but he ain’t on par with shaq . Not even close
Glad to see everybody commenting saying Shaq straight up lying.. he never was joking when it came to Dwight
My name is SHAQUILLE, My mama named me after Shaq. I was born in 96... Nearly 11lbs.... I love shaq! I embraced my name because of him.
But youre right, Shaq seem kinda salty towards Dwight.
Shaq wasn`t joking when it came to Dwight, and he wasn`t joking about Ben Simmons, he is just the most insecure professional sports star that I have ever come across.
This guy got a different story everytime someone asks him this question 😂
He got a different story for everything to be honest. Lol
This comment. And then he covers it up by bolstering his reputation by helping/empowering those in need or those who are impoverished. It's a front.
i just realized shaq is like hulk hogan lol
@@Buttington_Headersonunderrated comparison
You want him to repeat the same old story every time he's answers the same old question, time after time...
When the person you're having "fun" with doesn't think its funny means it ain't "fun".
Like javal McGee… feel bad for the guy it can’t be good for your morale when a legend of the game is constantly making fun of you and turns you into a media laughingstock
So many babies.
@@Jmw357 Shaq is one. Biggest baby of them all.
@@kaboomkp Realistically, Shaq cost McGee a whole lot of money because he built him a certain image. Was he clumsy? Sure. But was he so clumsy that he deserved a McGee-only Shaqtin-a-fool segments where all he did was pick on McGee even if the plays he brought up were not even bad.
@@tapio_m6861The things sometimes people who have insecurities will try to put down others... Its unfortunate but so common in this world! Don't know Shaq's exact motives for that segment was but just was unfortunate he had to be put thag guy down! It might of been for clout but very disrespectful! On another note, the videos on the playlist on my channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might be interesting or maybe even life-changing for some people!
jealousy.
What would he be jealous over?Shaqs had the more successful career on AND DEFINITELY OFF 👀👀👀
Lol shaq was a better player if he retired in 2001
@@bsp5689 he is. He get mad if someone think that Wilt is more dominant. But Wilt is more domitant. Why we can't said that Wilt is better. I know that he is better then Shaq. More average points, rebounds, better defender and better offensive player. He is anomaly. But Shaq don't conversation about that.
@@markozbunjol625 I think Shaq is better because the league is more competitive. But Shaq is a salty guy and can be quite pathetic at times despite he is fun.
@@bsp5689 Shaq was on the decline in his career while Dwight was on the incline. Shaq felt threatened by Dwight. You're looking at the situation in hindsight, not how it happened in that moment.
Nah Shaq saw Dwight as a threat to his Orlando big man legacy and hated that he put on that Superman cape, and he seems to be threatened by Joker.
How does he seem to be threatened by Joker? He consistently praises him lol He also constantly praises Embiid.
@@jonjetmore4018he voted for SGA mvp lol that’s hate
@@dwaynekeenum1916tf it’s not
@@3kWyz when you hear the reasons he chose SGA, its just delusion. "Hes the baddest man". No hes not.
Definitely true and aligns with Shaq’s character
Shaq won't admit to the fact that he likes to be a bully as much/if not more than he likes to be a motivator.
He's a fun guy 😸
@@shawnchia3611 Lou amundson will like to disagree
Sure Shaq had other reasons, but I truly believe Shaq was disappointed and frustrated that Dwight Howard didn't post up more. Whenever they would watch clips on TNT Shaq would say get your big butt in the post. Learn some moves and work on your game.
@@One.Zero.One101 then what's the reasoning for how Shaq treated others like Javele McGee?? I don't buy it
People admire tall people, but there is the opposite of Napoleon syndrome and he has it. And I've seen it with other big guys I've known. Few people dare to challenge them due to their size and the fact that they can probably beat up 99 percent of people, But when someone does have the audacity to challenge them they are infuriated. There are big guys that go the other way and I can't say what's more common, but gentle giant or bully they are very conscious of their size.
Mr. Sensitive.
That’s why.
Petty White
I just can't take Shaq serious when he calls other people sensitive, when he is so sensitive himself.
Projection
He’s literally said he knows when people are sensitive because he’s sensitive
Ikr lol. People should be sensitive to that stuff because it’s coming from a respected legend of the game that comes with fair criticism. Shaq wants them to take it personal and they take it personal. Shaq is a certified old head
“To the VICTOR goes the spoils” he’s earned the right to sit on the throne and bark out his critiques 🤷🏿♂️
@@danielwiley9828 then at the very least he should be able to take the same heat he's giving out otherwise you're just a hypocrite, which he is because he has shown us multiple he cannot take heat himself.
JJ looking at Shaq like “this guy makes no sense”
That’s what you came up with? lol slow asf
Shaq went after every big man that was getting attention
And ones that weren’t too (JaVale McGee)
@@c7leetbf Javale was getting attention but for the wrong reasons
@crisomii before the fracture javale was 🔥. But after that he started to struggle. But shaq went in to hard
Right now he’s silent and not giving praise of Joker because you know, when all said and done Joker would be the greatest center of all time and Shaq is threatened to get down on the list of top players of all time
@chillax9184 joker still a long way from greatest center ever. Chips arent the end all be all but 1 ring and a couple mvps arent enough. He still got a real shot tho
Shaq destroyed Dwight’s image and was the reason why Dwight didn’t make the top 75 list. Shaq is an all time great but he will be forever a clown for that.
Thank you
No thanks. Dwight isn't top 750 all time.
@@noname-ue7lb aight name 750 better players than him
@@noname-ue7lb so you're a clown too huh?
@@noname-ue7lblol I don’t even like Dwight and he’s for sure top 100 on everyone’s list that’s knowledgeable and unbiased.
The Superman title irked Shaq. At the end of the day, Shaq is a big kid.
AGREED.
A big kid who also happens to be a bully.
Zion is a big kid, shaq 50
Never called him out/it was a joke/it was out of respect/motivation/he's being sensitive/it was never personal...bro just checking off every gaslighting technique out there in the first 2 minutes.
We need to stop saying “gaslighting” and just call it what it is: lying.
Shaq has the G14 classification on sensitivity for sure.
Also has it for rewriting history
Shaq believes in historical revisionism. He also has a bully mindset in many situations, so I dont consider him a "fun" guy
it's a testosteron charged environment, pro sports in a billion dollar company that is. if you cant stand the heat, dont go into the kitchen. you can hate it or love it, but in environments like the NBA only the ones that thrive on negative energy that is thrown at them, survive. To a degree that is true for a lot of realities people live in. You cant others let define you and step on you.
My thoughts exactly 😂You hit the Nail on the head Fam..
He’s not even funny. He thinks he’s funny
He was jealous lol. “Big man alliance “ 😭😭😭😭
JJ smirked when he heard that lmfao, he knows that is just some BS
I like how he calls himself the “President” of said Big Man Alliance, but Kareem is still alive.
1:15 JJ trying his best to keep his composure 🤣
bro, I didn't even catch that. THANK YOU for the belly laugh. He was a half step away from bursting out in laughter 😂
💀💀💀💀
for most of the interview 💀
I was thinking the same thing 😂
LOL! JJ went "Thierry Henry meme" for a moment.
I always enjoyed Kenny Smith pushing Shaq's buttons every time he introduced Dwight with a "Superman is in the building!". 😂
So funny hearing the hypocrisy with Shaq.
“Ain’t no ‘hack a Shaq’! I ain’t playin!”
Also Shaq. “There is only 1 ‘Superman’! That’s me”.
I think it started over a dumb reason as Dwight was being called Superman and Shaq wanted that moniker. I love Shaq but I think he’s petty sometimes and is very insecure about his legacy.
He was silly about it. But he was called Superman first. And when he was playing in Orlando. Dwight did try and steal that for him. But Dwight is the best big man in Orlando history.
@@serpserpserpre-read how petty and silly your words are and that is what Shaq was being. A big insecure child. They called Dwight Superman but that’s my self proclaimed name and I have a Superman tattoo…boohoo shaq
@@serpserpserpClark Kent was Superman first so your point is irrelevant Shaq is and was a child and he knows it
I keep telling people it was over a poll in like 2008 or 2009. The poll was asking who had the better Orlando career, and Dwight won with over 70% of the vote. We all know Shaq is insecure, and that's when he went 0-100 on the Dwight hate.
@@thepeopleschamp9076 Shaq won scoring title in Orlando lol…. It’s not even close who was better in Orlando
i love how the comments are no longer buying the bullshit. i hate how jj doesnt even make an attempt to contest shaq's lies
It’s not Shaq’s fault Dwight was never that good
“Sensitivily”. Tf.
Because he's a jealous, insecure, petty dude
Jealous of a sissy?? 🤣 I don't think so..
How many rings you got?
Joking
Shaq the most sensitive guy out there. Chuck makes 1 comment and Shaq asks him how many rings he got.
I understand JJ’s interview style is to always be complimentary, but there was a missed opportunity to call out Shaq’s BS here.
Not saying Shaq would actually do something but I’m sure he has a certain level of intimidation.
Jj is too pro player so he won’t say nothing negative really. At most anything negative he says against a player is a reasonable critique
@@iamsedrickbright. No further proof than the Ben Simmons interview
right. JJ is not a reporter. the goal of his podcast, which i appreciate, is to give these players a platform to be human, to let people relate to them, mostly in a positive light. he's not there to dig into your personal life and make you uncomfortable. he's there to let his viewers know that there's more to shaq (or another nba player) than what you normally see.
Especially how stinky it was.
if narcissism was a person would be shaq
You’re just sensitive..
And if imbecile was a person….. it would be you.
@@user-sk9sp7pe4y nah you’re a monster and sensitive
He’s the biggest beta male in nba history. He cries about literally everything.
@@ConvictedFelonDonaldTrump cry about it
"What's your definition of calling out" I can already tell Shaq about to cap 😂
Makes no sense when athletes say the fans don't understand their sport as much as they do. Just because you all are taller than the average person doesn't make you wiser.
They are pros they know things that the average fans dont
The reason they have a more valuable opinion is because they're able to watch the games like fans but they also participate in the games. If it wasn't for players we wouldn't know about mamba mentality, LeBron's leadership, or Jordan's gambling issues. The personal aspects of the players and the aspects of the play by play not understood by the average fan are what make an NBA players opinion more valuable.
@surfaceintensity6835 NO!! That just means they have a more biased opinion. They can say they know more about what goes on off the court that fans. But the fans know a travel when we see it. I'll argue that true fans actually know more about the sport than the players.
@@kingcane5819 The argument of some having more knowledge being more biased isn't wrong but it also isn't an issue. NBA players who travel and see both the extreme and average people in the basketball world have all the same tools that a "true fan" has and more. You don't have a particularly valuable argument.
Shaq was 100% going at Dwight for years, he hated being compared to him.
Straight yappin, Shaq defo mentioned and called Dwight out to put him self in a better light because Dwight was straight hoopin as a Magic, and after his Magic run Shaq continued so nobody could see dwight in a serious light, just in a banter way with Mr O'Neal
@4:21 Shaq is being a hypocrite here because there was a lot of stuff. He did not do nor apply to his game. So that he to get better on and off the court. However, he wants to criticize others for not doing the same.
Then at @5:31 for Shaq to say he aint sensitive, come on bro. Everyone who watches Inside the NBA, knows that is a lie. LOLz
If both of these weren't true then Shaq would have never left the Lakers and would not had any problems with Kobe.
Free throws 😂
@@Wizard-xt5ld, this video just shows that Shaq isn’t sensitive rite? Lolz
czcams.com/users/shorts78B7ABJjLtI?si=1oQ0j8-cMzjP9Q7Q
Watch the full interview and Shaq admits he's the most sensitive person and that's how he knows other guys are. Just like he's said, in this interview and countless times, he knows he could've been better but he didn't put in enough effort. I already know you're a zoomer lmao.
@@lance8163grown men shouldn’t acknowledge they should’ve done better then continuously not doing better is a character issue
It’s not just sensitive it’s jealous bitterness and resentment
Stop defending this clown shaq is a cry baby
@@lance8163 I don’t need to watch the whole interview. Because it is the same story every time. Shaq will say all these nice things like he is trying to help and mentor guys. However he ain’t because they were lots of other interviews, he did the opposite. I can easily go and find other videos because this isn’t the first time.
So how does it make sense to say you aren’t sensitive in this clip. However in other bits in the interview say that you are sensitive? Lolz,
When Shaq is looking at you and asking you if he is a nice guy you have to answer yes quickly 😂
😂‼️😂
Shaq was upset that he was past his prime and Dwight was outplaying him. He always likes to use the excuse of “oh I was just trying to motivate him” but he was just jealous that he couldn’t keep up at that point in his career and he took it out on the new guy.
David never averaged 23 pts in his career lol
Love Shaq, not trying to call him a liar, but he's definitely, um, "distorting" the origins of his consistent taunting of Dwight over the years. I do think there was a level of pettiness/dislike from shaq due to the fact that dwight was an up and coming bigman who happened to both play for Orlando and also be a physically dominant center. I think what triggered it was the whole superman thing back in 07/08. There's a reason why Chuck will occasionally refer to him as "Petty White" lol.
Yep, he lost a poll for 'best Orlando career' to Dwight back in '08 or '09, and that's when he really started hating on Dwight.
@@thepeopleschamp9076 No one cares about polls lol
Tim Ledger is more knowledgeable in basketball than Shaq, wild to say
I lost respect for Shaq after watching these videos with JJ. Guy needs therapy. He tries to pull the wool over our eyes, but it’s clear the guy has deep unaddressed insecurity and anger.
Shaq always like to backtrack. He has done it for years and years. However good thing about the internet is that it never goes away. So you can easily see other videos where he say how he really feels.
Thanks to his stepdad
I remember he wrote in a book that he hated David Robinson because when he met him as a highschooler, David was nonchalant and so he held a grudge for yrs. Yrs later he admitted he'd fabricated the whole story, and he tried to laugh it off like it wasn't anything serious.
A so-called ⚪ man diagnosed that a so-called ⚫ man has anger issues. Wao! And he thinks his opinion is tremendously valuable? Awesome 👍.
Who is our?
Shaq saw him as a threat so that is a big lie
Dwight followed Shaq's footstep from Magic to Lakers while calling himself Superman.
Shaq hated that. Word. 😂😂😂
Shaq felt threatened by dwight because he was a IN shape version of what shaq could have been
Facts
Dwight was goofy
@@stanleed.harold5457 Dwight was damn good at basketball and took getting better at it very seriously. He just never took himself too seriously, so somehow this guy who was shredded athletically and clearly very skilled was labeled as a clown who didn't work hard. SVG (whos an idiot) made him look bad, the Lakers media made him look bad while he was hurt, and then in Houston Harden wanted to set individual records over playing winning basketball and somehow the media blamed Dwight for that too (Harden didn't try playing complimentary ball until like 2 years ago, when he was obviously on the decline)
Meanwhile media always has no problem idolizing egomaniacs like Shaq and MJ like they the gold standards of being the ideal human being lol. So backwards
Agree
@@PantsaBear meanwhile in the series vs the blazers DWIGHT was the one trying to keep them alive while harden was shooting like 30% FG and chucking dumb af shots.
dwight is the most underappreciated and underrated big man that ever played in the league.
the way people talk about him... if i never saw him play and lead the magic to the finals, i'd think he was a deadbeat scrub end of the bench guy.
Hes so full of it
Super clear answer. If he’s serious, you’ll know it. But he’s joking most of the time, and most people don’t know it. He’s not serious, and it’s all jokes. But he’s seriously motivating these players. In summary, he has been consistently joking tactically with a serious purpose, and you will know when he’s serious but you won’t know when he’s serious 😂😂😂
Totally
People who joke all the time are doing themselves a disservice. They can hardly be taken seriously when need be.
Shaq took a page outta Kawaii’s joke book with the “I’m a fun guy” 😂 1:36
The irony of his hate on Dwight after he resented Kareem for doing the same to him for so long is completely lost on him.
Shaq is lying about joking about Dwight. He sees Dwight as a big threat in his legacy back then.
The continuous bullying on Javale McGee too.
Having his mama telling him to stop shows how far and out of control he made
Shaq is full of ish!
I wish the same question would have been asked about JaVale McGee. This is so cap
I like shaq but his deficiencies as a human being are like.....proudly on display here.
Remember when he tried to bully Yao Ming?
Growing up i liked shaq but as the years go on and i hear more and more stories from/about him I've lost a lot of respect for him.
How you feel about MJ??
So like he cares smh
Thats a bully mentality when a bully try’s to explain why he beat up a smaller kid
Shaq was 100% more dominant than Dwight but the thought of Dwight being seen as Superman, kinda throwing Shaq away like he never happened (to Shaq) made Shaq almost despise Dwight.
To Shaq, there could only be one Superman.
Shaq was sensitive. Still is. Shaq's call out on Dwight was unwarranted. Dwight was a beast in Orlando. Absolute beast. People forget. Dwight played 8 years for the Magic. By the time he made it to the Lakers, he was already worn out, back injuries, and arguably no longer in his prime. At least not peak prime.
That comeback by JJ was perfect 😂 “you know about that?”
This was a blessing to watch.
Shaq or Jokic? Who you got?
I just looked at Shaq's stats and he never added 5ppg's to his average in the playoffs, he was definitely a dominate big man but he didn't meet all the requirements he listed.
Shaq was jealous of Dwight when he was in Orlando
Shaq was right about Dwight but Dwight was so good at one point. Ben Simmons is a complete joke and him not getting better after all these years just shows that he don’t care and or his coaches aren’t getting him any better.
Ben Simmons was all-NBA good once.
Ben was fine until Doc he was one of the best defensive players in the league and all nba
@@HoodedAlchemy😊😊
@@penkima4923 Ben aint hardly the same level as Dwight.

Actions speak louder than words
What about Javale Magee, cuz nobody thought he was going to be a “great” big man. And yea it may have been fun for YOU but it wasn’t for him and he let you know that time and time again. But you couldn’t take it when he called you a minstrel show.
Great to see Big Shaq being the only person not hating on JJ :D
He doesn’t like Dwight. It’s weird guys just blatantly lying. Love shaq but he’s clearly lying about this topic
Dwight was moving up that rebounds list before the game forced him out of the game.
Shaq was criticizing his younger self. It’s the lessons he never took from Kobe.
Maybe Dwight never took them but Shaq still went onto win …. Shaq didn’t take conditioning as serious and Dwight didn’t take games as serious as
@@ramseyebryant Shaq had Kobe, Dwight had Turkoglu and he legit took Orlando to the finals
@@yassersalem7992"You can't even pronounce the man's name.
I love to type of questions. He genuinely ask these questions and not tryna stir it up
Shaq calls out people who he sees are like him, naturally gifted but underachieving. I think there is a type of animosity there but i also think he is trying to motivate them in the way he was motivated wich was by people calling him out.
I knew old heads like Shaq and there really is this manipulative mentality they have where they test your resolve by hitting you with “negativity” just to see how you respond. If it pushes you to prove them wrong then they’ll respect you, and if you get emotional or run from the challenge then they just figure you’re not cut from their cloth. It’s not about hate or jealousy to them it’s like them trying to initiate you into a fraternity but they have to make sure you’re worthy. These days that doesn’t really fly and gets called toxic and all of that but it’s a real thing that happens.
I like the old head mentality also. But let's not forget how shaq literally tried to bully people over the years like what you would see in jr. high school, when the guy was 40 years old.
"Initiate into a fraternity", interesting choice of words.
Shaq likes to use that word "marketing" a lot now. Him and Kobe didn't have beef. That was just marketing.
Shaq made up that story about David Robinson snubbing him for an autograph when he was 15 and feuded throughout their careers based on that lie. The media (and myself included) fell for it. He wrote books based on that lie. That ain't cool man. He finally admitted to coming clean.
Why is marketing so important? What about integrity?
Marketing and integrity don't usually go well together.
Hes doing the same thing w Wemby right now. He is hard on him but only bc he wants him to succeed
Great job in landing BMW as your major sponsor, is this the first sports podcast ever that landed BMW?
Honestly I think Shaq should not shoot down Chuck whenever championships are brought up. Chuck LOST in the finals, so of all people Chuck knows exactly what he did wrong (or things that he should have done differently) because of those losses. Chuck has added to the championship discussions because he knows what it's like on the losing side
Plus by Shaq's logic, any team, coach, or player who manages to win a championship for the first time would have won only by getting lucky since, again, by Shaq's logic, they wouldn't know how to win a championship since they wouldn't have won one yet.
@@BloopyBloop-gs1toMost normal people reflect on this thought process and corrects it at some point, especially when its literally the goal of your career. Meanwhile 50+ year old Shaq still telling make-belive stories to himself and others that allows for emotions to get in the way of growing up.
Same thing why he never tried fixing his Free Throw form with any form he thought was feminine/embarrassing. He instead would rather score significantly less points, and then post-career get incredibly upset about not passing Wilt in scoring by a thin margin. As if this guy didn't have dozens of people over the course of his career advising him too, just a wild ego
Barkley also happened to be going up against apex Jordan who averaged 40 in those finals. Barkley definitely could have won a chip with different circumstances.
Remember when Dwight was in the dunk contest the month after Kobe died and did a dunk with Kobe’s jersey and the dunk was bad but since it was for Kobe the judges scored it high 😂😂😂

How is this guy the most petty sensitive selfish person but also the most generous and thoughtful.
I’d say chalk the earlier part of your statement to competitiveness. All the greats have a little bit of that pettiness/sensitivity toward their standing in the game (hence his story about Wilt and Kareem).
which team did JJ play with Dwight on?
Dwight could have been a legend. Shaq saw him potentially better than himself. Shaq was right in the end. Dwight is in the Hall of really good and not the Hall of Fame.
He is 1000% a hall of famer and is getting in lol
If Ben Wallace make the HOF, Dwight definitely should.
Mans got a panel !!!
It is true that he always supports the big man, that is the reason why he went to meet Zach Edey in the final four and waited for him in the tunnel to greet him
The problem is that Shaq gives more credibility to role players on championship teams like Kenny than main dudes like Chuck who played in the Finals. Kenny was along for the ride, he can't understand what Shaq went through as 1A/1B.
Shaq should have played in the 80's
“I don’t get sensitive, but I’m gonna drop a mixtape about you” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If someone is in your ballpark of skill, fan, friend or even family. You are actually competition whether you like it or not. People act very differently when they are aware that you can challenge them in there craft. If not, it’s all good with plenty of handshakes.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar would criticize Shaq harshly, and alot of people didn’t like it. But Kareem also saw Shaq’s potential, and wanted him to use the criticism as motivation to reach it. Shaq I believe at times was annoyed by Dwight, for example it’s been well documented how he didn’t like Dwight using the Superman gimmick like he did, and then criticized him out of frustration. But Shaq is also on record for saying during an epsiode of Inside the NBA that he saw alot of himself in Dwight, and then criticized him out of dissapointment because he didn’t think Dwight’s attitude was in the right place, and felt he was making some of the same mistakes he made in his career. All in all it would be nice to see those two shake hands someday.
He never saw him as a threat he just thought he should be putting up better numbers than he was. Shaq knew he was greater than what he was producing
G-14 Classification is from Rush Hour. Nice reference there by Shaq
I agree with Shaq bc I am the same. When I like someone or meet someone, I intentionally push buttons to see where your character is. Ive lost a lot of friends bc of this but the friends who’ve stayed, we have a bond nothing can recreate. Its an ego thing yea but it’s meant to uplift the strong and strengthen the weak
“I’m a fun guy. -Shaquille O’Neal”
- Kawhii Leonard
G14 classified. Was that a Rush Hour reference?
Yes. Shaq has been saying that for a long time, but it is originally from Rush Hour 1 as you say.
Chuck said it best. “Mr. Sensitive.” Kobe’s story about ending his 40-point streak when Shaq was coming back from injury because Phil Jackson asked him to says a lot
Props to JJ for asking the difficult questions! Props to Shaq for avoiding them :D
This aged well within the last few days
That something added to the article is 4 rings
Reflective Shaq and In-The-Moment Shaq are like 2 completely separate people.
Bro I have always loved Shaq
Criticism and crying over someone using a nickname are two different things
I love Shaqs says "take it as a man" he's speaking to Dwight like a father making his son tough in any situations so that he can make shaq shut up and be more than settle for less and goof around. Shaq is all wisdom here as the greats do to him also. It's tough love.
Nah, it's sensitive, petty and hypocrite love.
I’m from Baton Rouge.Shaq is my all-time favorite player.
Shaq is the most emotional guy. LMFAO 😂😂😂. Mr Sensitive.
1:15 props to JJ for not laughing when he heard the "current president of the big man alliance" especially since he knew Shaq was being serious lmao
