Jusuf Nurkic puts Embiid on blast
- Thread starter BlackAchilles
- Start date
I remember Shaq saying the main motivation behind putting on a lot of weight during his LA tenure was that he felt like certain centers (sabonis) were pushing him around in the paint.An ATG center and top 10 player would still be elite now?
I dunno how I'd feel about Lakers Shaq having to guard these guys at the three point line or getting involved in PnR though
I think Orlando Shaq would be scary as fukk right now though. Defense, athleticism, durability, and that physical dominance
With the advancements in sports science, rehabilitation, health in general, etc.. and a lack of motivation to add weight in todays game, his Orlando/early LA prime probably extends a lot longer

If he's doing this out of shape and on bambi legs, what happens when the Young Gawd gets right?
At least he doesn't have a lisp and didn't leave The Great One out in the cold to fight young lions by himself
embiid does get tired though. he was visibly tired last night..missing free throws and all that
i fukks with him heavy but imo he gotta do more before we crown him. like Nurkic said he's skilled but fukk skill if you cant do the shyt night in and night out
Shaq would dismantle all these current Centers
Y'all crowned him too quick. Some of us were & still are skeptical

Wait Shaq thought Sabonis was pushing him around in that paint?
Damn I didn't realize Sabonis was that strong ... I really wish he could've been in the NBA since 21 or 22
In the off-season after his first championship, Shaq was tired of being pushed around in the post. Despite averaging 30 points per game during the postseason, Shaq felt he needed to add a significant amount of mass to his frame to prolong his superior play. From Fox Sports' Charley Rosen
It was after the Lakers' first championship that Shaq made a decision that had immediate rewards but proved to be a long-range disaster. Feeling that massive centers like Arvydas Sabonis and Luc Longley were pushing him around in the low post, Shaq felt that he needed to be heavier. In his equation, mass equaled power equaled total domination. He therefore instructed his personal chef to overload his meals with meat and potatoes and the pounds quickly began to accumulate.
Remember When Shaq Was Ripped and Super Athletic? Here's How He Put on So Much Weight
At least he doesn't have a lisp and didn't leave The Great One out in the cold to fight young lions by himself
What fight? Averaging 6/4 on 38 FG%?
The Young Gawd doesn't take white centers seriously,
THATS FUNNY BECAUSE JOKIC IS PROBABLY THE ONE CENTER IN THE LEAGUE THAT COULD END UP BETTER

Potential is just another word for "ain't did shyt yet"

Tim Duncan was 75 years old when he fought the Thunder
Anyone who watched that game saw the BS that ensued 
Nurkic picked up his 5th foul and the refs were too scared to give him #6 
Embiid gave him 29 easy this time, and 28 last time
He is getting tired though, he's not in shape
