Shaq was a phenomenal outlet passer. He could toss no-look and behind-the-back passes like it was nothing. I'll never forget a 36-year-old Shaq nutmegging a prime Dwight Howard at the All-Star Game in '09.
Anyone who follows my basketball takes knows by now that a big who can pass is my favorite type of player. I wouldn't be praising Shaq's passing skills if all he could do was make the most basic passes out of double teams.
Anyone who still thinks Shaq was all brute force and no skill should go back and watch him play, and not just the highlight reels. He was crazy skilled, especially compared to the stiffs who took up space down low inyesterday's NBA.
KD is cringeworthy. He doesn't know who he is. One day he's a submissive beta who wants to be called the servant. As the leader of Team USA (no LeBron) drops out bc he's emotionally scarred by one of his guys going down (PG13). Now he hangs out with loudmouth Donkey Green for a couple of months and suddenly he thinks he's some kind of big bad Alpha.
Yeah, slamming into a guy repeatedly because you know you won't get called for charging, then turning around and dropping it in takes so much skill. He waited around till every other decent center in the league retired/got old and finally won a few uncontested les. Amazing.Shaq was a phenomenal outlet passer.

Durant does know who he is which is that he is a follower. Draymond Green is his father and he's just trying earn his approval.KD is cringeworthy. He doesn't know who he is.

One of the fakest human being i probably know of his fraudulence without ever meeting him..I can't believe I once had some respect for this ..KD is cringeworthy. He doesn't know who he is.

No. Shaq had a nice jump hook, master of the drop step, lots of fakes and counterfakes...he was a skilled post player.
Damn if Shaq had nice moves, than Dream had supermegagiglaultragoatmoves

99% of NBA players are in the league due to their physical talents. If the majority of these guys were several inches shorter, or less athletic then they would not be in the league. In Durant's case he's a 6'11 SF whose a great shooter and whose biggest advantage is physically he can shoot over his opponents. If he was shorter he's not as great of a player. Overall re ed logic by Durant.
beat me to it. spot on.
He shoulda won 7 les if he wasn't a fat, lazy, en led . Then to end his career pathetically bouncing his fat ass around the Suns, Cavs, and Celtics just collecting checks on reputation and not being able to make more than 3 trips up and down the court.....that's just sad.
If Shaq really had skills, be wouldn't have been a useless cone in Cleveland and Boston.
exactly. Only winning 4 les while playing with Kobe/Wade shows how badly Shaq wasted his incredible physical talents. Should have had 6 minimum, probably 7 or 8 if he actually developed skill beyond blatantly charging and getting away with it.
The fact that Shaq has 4 rings despite spending most of his prime with the biggest cancer in sports history (Kobe) is impressive, tbh. Imagine how many rings he would have had with prime Vince, T-Mac, or Ray Allen instead of that team-killing chucker.
Shaq was very skillful - this is stupid.
When has he ever won a game with "skill" and not brute force?
"Amazing passing big man!"
2.5 career assists per gamesame career average as Dirk
"Amazing passing big man!"
2.5 career assists per game
Hockey assist, breh."Amazing passing big man!"
2.5 career assists per game
cant shoot free throws = check
got away with traveling and offensive fouls pretty much every game = check
played in an era with arguably the most corrupt referees in sports history = check
sold out, gave up on his team and went to Los Angeles just like Kobe = check
semen shield for Lebron = check
relied on brute force instead of strategy and skill = check
Durbeta airing out what 95% of real NBA fans already know imo
Saying shaq was all brute force is stupid, shaq had a beautiful drop step, great passer, nice hooks, nice spin moves. Of course he relied on his brute strength but he was the only one with brute strength and those skills. His biggest weaknesses were his range, his maturity, and his pick and roll defense.
Lol thats classic lefty, dont forget Phoenix.
As a spur fan it always seemed like Shaq wouldn't miss his jump hooks. His little hook off the glass seemed automatic.
