This is a dumb af statement lmao.

Shaq is more knowledgable in hoops then 95% of the population. Guarantee he understands schemes, zones, rotations, etc. better then most players today as well. Just because he was lazy and didn’t want to go 100% at all times doesn’t mean he has low bball iq


You obviously haven't been watching Shaq on inside the NBA...

He's regularly getting rocked by everyone for not knowing shit about the modern game. The other night Wade and Candace Parker made him look stupid as fuck.

hes an entertainer.. hes not there to breakdown the game. If he legit cared about doing a legit "analysis" job he could with ease.

No he really couldn't

He has truly shown he lacks an understanding of the modern game. He thinks you can just "man up" against the P&R today LOL.

He's a funny guy and all but holy shit his input on the actual game is depressing as fuck. Watching Candace and Wade actually talk basketball the other night was a breath of fresh air. Meanwhile Shaq looked like he didn't understand the sport at all lol

There's a reason he gets killed on social media all the time for this.

?? Y’all barely finding this out.. I been telling y’all he was trash for years.. he makes no sense half the time & is a bully as his “comedic personality.” Chris Webber was way better.

I really wish I could see shaq play in this day of age where the 3 ball is the meta, can a one dimensional power house of a centrr just sit near the paint and dominate and carry a team game in and game out? theres no one too compare him to in nba all the big men that do dominate have range.

Uhh with how they call fouls now Shaq would eat fam

Centers arent null and void

Embiid, Jokic, AD, all part of the most dominant players on the court today

dont kid yourself.

They all are shooters tho shaq wasn't

Career 3s

Davis 270-852 31.7%

Embid 275-836 32.9%

Jokic403-1162 34.7%

Shaq made 1 3pt in his entire career

As my original statement says, I just would love to see if shaq being a one dimensional scorer as he was, a power house of a man, enough to carry a team game in game out in today's league when the 3ball reigns supreme. massive lakers fan as a kid.

He would destroy. Think of the center version of Zion. Shaq in Orlando would eat like crazy, & shaq in LA would literally foul out all your players or just leave all your 3 point shooters with wide open shots.. unless you wanted to give up an automatic 2.

Defenses today are so much more complex though, and the fact that zone can be run would negate him more than you think.

Plus, let's be honest...refs aren't going to allow him to shove guys like he did in his prime years. He used to just throw guys around which would get called as offensive fouls many times in today's game.
