0:28 Kobe also gave himself a nickname that lasted
You forgot the black steph curry
But Steph Curry is black
And the black max kellerman
Steph is lightskin
@@bman8421 Shaqs words not mine
@@bman8421 he is mixed
Lol in China Shaq's nickname is Big Shark...
Tom Wang wtf lmao
Appropriate 😂😂😂
Its usually just simply shark (鲨鱼)
That's true because most of the Chinese people call Shaq 鲨鱼
I’ve never heard Osama Bin Shaq
I didnt either until I made this lol
should be Osama Bin Shaqin
@@AndyHoops OK you'd just made it & I hope that is not his REAL surname, 'cause if it is, he'll be arrested by the CIA or NSA. 😅
😂
More liek obama bans shaq
one things for sure... he aint steph curry with 40 inch vertical
Lol
how original
That shit so old 🤦🏽♂️
Not the right youtuber though..
I met Shaq during the 2015 NCAA March Madness tournament at Indiana. He was goofy and hilarious. I love Shaq, especially when he's with Charles Barkley.
shaq first nickname was shaq
Diesel is always gonna be my favorite. Not only is it clever and not that common of a nickname, but it also perfectly describes the power that he played with. When he was on, he was unstoppable, he was Diesel.
Can you do how good was Chauncey Billups actually?
No
He was like a top 5 pg back then and his best years arguably a mvp candidate but yah I agree wit u bro Andy should make a video about him
MR BIG SHOT
He did one
Seriously nobody thought of the Hulk when he got to Boston?
Ikr
Probably they did. But, not enough
You're right I forgot that
The big deporter was great when he beat 3 straight foreign centers
This was a different time though, pre 9-11 and pre trump.
Awesome way to end 2018. Hope to see you grow in 2019,my favorite b-ball youtuber!
Man , I just LOVE the music in the beginnings of your videos
Angeblich Nazi big facts
BTW I love you vids andy keep it up!
It's a great feeling to finally get to go on my lunch break and see that my man andy uploaded another fire video!😁
saturday morning uploads from andy 😤✊💯
I'ma keep it real with you I didn't know most of these nicknames for Shaq
Toby Ughanze Yeah i only knew Aristotle, Diesel, Superman
The Big Mac Shaq Attack
In Latin America we have known him also as “Come-Hamburguesa”, translated as Burger Eater. Apparently the legends say he once ate like 100 burgers and afterwards he was still hungry lol (To be fair never checked that, but still think is funny)
No way he ate 100 burgers. Whaaaattt
@@mlkchannel5890 I mean, that's the myth we grew up from some commentators in Latin America, again, never checked if it was true or not
@@mlkchannel5890 if it was sliders, i’d believe it
One of the most entertaining person in the history of the nba
Great channel
Hi Andy! Watching from the Philippines!
You forgot the black tornado
Northwind722 you got it all wrong mate. That was his drop steps nickname lol
@@mosesmcgraw167 well some people called him the black tornado due to his move
Shaqs rap songs from the 90s are surprisingly good
I’m just gonna stick with “The Big Aristotle” being an incredibly ironic nickname for Shaq
Lol they put Shaq fu in the uncle drew movie
He calls himself “The Black Ernie Johnson” on Players Only TNT. When he was able to host
4:46 That Dwight "Coward" really stole his nickname! I hope Dwight should chance his nickname soon as Lex Luthor, you know what I mean. 😈
Andy your videos are always fire! You should do some videos of old school teams and why they had success/failures etc. Kind of like your jailblazers video
For years, I didn't quite get "Shaqtus." I just assumed it was just Shaq being goofy, until one day it hit me: portmanteau. He'd been playing for Pheonix when I first caught wind of it. I turned it over in mind one random day Shaq+cactus! Mystery solved. Didn't know the story behind it until now, though.
Man, I played so much Shaq-fu as a kid :D lol
I was thinking about this yesterday....
In 2k the commentators call shaq the big diesel
I have never heard the name Hobo Master before 😂
Brundone T that one is great hahahha
@2:13 the one in the Celtics Jersey is not Shaq lol. THATS BIG BABY DAVIS
How Zack Johnson became the goat of spamming lol
I think he got banned off of CaineLovesCali or JimmerRange I forget since he’s been absent
@@JoeBro915 nah. You haven't looked hard enough.
@@hugenbafan1391 have you seen him in the last couple of weeks
Huge NBA Fan the fake NBA storyteller is the worst. Damon Jones too on Free Dawkins vids. They r cancer
7:46 This is the BEST & my favorite nickname of Shaq: MANNY SHAQUAIO. But I hope he should join on the MMA soon because his body is too big & probably he's still have a physical prime after he'd left on NBA, eight years ago. 😉😊
The Big Aristotle and The Disel are his best
Shaq-Fu was originally his rap name due to his affiliation with his favorite group...the Fu-Schnickens...
man of steel
I would like to see a "how good was Shaq". I consider him top 4 in centers of all time behind Kareem, Russell and Olajuwon, i would like too see your thoughts
ESPN need to bring back those rv commercials
We get Shaq, you are big
THE BIG HOFA! Hall of famer
Shaq is by far the most entertaining athlete of all time not just the NBA. Try and name person more funny and entertaining.
thank you andy tanks... -prison mike
I'll being seeing diesel today and tomorrow. I had no idea shaq was a dj. Lmfao.
Did you see a couple weeks ago Shaq gave Giannis the Superman nickname?
Really?
Lemuel Bocayong Yup it was on TNT
I hope he redacted that comment after Hezonja stepped over Giannis.
NameThatNobodyTakes 🙄 that was bull
I think Dwight wants Shaq's beef (you'll get it once u watch the whole video)
Lol
The Big Big Man
Shaq fu sega game was very underrated you trippin Andy good video though
If I had one from Shaq's nicknames, I would take Superman simply because this is something he cherished the most when he got old and people started to call Dwight Howard Superman. No disrespect to Dwight since he's also one of my favorite players.
Lol please do something with that read dead redemption intro music
As a filipino,i like the manny shacquiao..
A little proud too..
I call him Sharkille o neal
3:40 BTW I thought they got suspended because of the weird jump.
Shaquille Oat'Meal
That's funny
What about Shaquin O'Fool? Oh wait that was McGee's nickname, right? 🤔
Shaq's nickname for his opponent: BBQ chicken
Shaqovic is great lol
Shaqtus
I need to pee but there's a big rat in the bathroom. What will I do?
U should do a video about Samuel dalembert
I'm pretty sure Shaq called himself Diesel partly because he was so powerful and also because he is a big wrestling fan and Kevin Nash wrestled in WWE as Diesel in the early 1990s
Manny Shaqman
Who's from Phil
Edit:Philippines
one Big take from this segment is that copyrighting and trademarking will take you far in life lol
10:19
2:11 Shaq formed a rainbow
You should talk about the NBA on NBC.
I miss that intro, always got me hyped. Marv Albert was a god.
I have a question for you guys:
Is Shaquille O'Neal the most entertaining personality in NBA history????? I say YES, BY FAR
Easily
Without a doubt.
Lol I thought you were going to say "tell me how my ass taste"🤣
Nate Robinson was better. He got on Shaqs nerves 😂😂
In Spain, legendary announcer Andres Montes called him "The Article 34 of the Law of California: I do what I want, when I want and how I want"
The Big Rings Erneh
Lmao imagine one of his teammates calling him Shaq Daddy 😂
ahhh that's why he called Dwight "Stuperman"
The Shaqtis. Hands down the best. He was big and in Arizona surrounded by cacti. It’s the only thing in my life that has ever made sense!!!
CORRECTION!!!! The Big Shaqtis
Big shaq
I would watch a Shaq V Dwight fight for the nickname
i thought i was lost when the intro played..
i literary look if im in jxmy's
Aside from being a dominant player, Shaq is such a character. I miss fun players like this with personally. Maybe Embiid is the closest we could get right now.
Nah, Giannis
Shaq is the GOAT.
2:11 “he played for 6 teams” *shows all the 7 teams he played for*
2 of them are the Suns
shareef isn’t his oldest kid myles o’neal is
Andy hoops is the LeBron James of mike korzemba 😂
Twister O'Neal , el artículo 34 , Shakatack
Whaddayamean "how he got 'em?" He gave 'em to himself...
2:13 you have Shaq on the suns twice
Its the colors of the rainbow
Please do average 2nd pick
hey do how good was ray allen
The Big Cactus
2:12 look its a rainbow!
The Big Toe
What about Kazaam? Remember the movie?
He has one more..popular in 00" ..the big stock.. When asked why, he responded.. Numbers baby..numbers..
Manny Shaquiao
BTW I'm from the Philippines
Whar about the "Black Tornado"?
Osama Bin Shaak was my favorite looll
Osama Bin Shaq 😂😂😂
Osama Bin Shaq in 2002? Lmfao wow!
So the Big Shaqtus is the precursor to Big Chungus.
How did ya got your nickname Andy?
2:14 It shows 7 teams tho
U forgot THE BIG DIESEL 😂
