Bruh It’s a pattern with Shaq he hates on the majority of young players it’s not just Rudy. It says a lot about a person where they can’t give credit and instead down talk people half their age, who played in the same league they did years ago.
it’s one thing to criticize and let a player know how to improve, but with Shaq it’s “You ain’t shyt and I would’ve dropped 50 on you”.
You don’t see that as hating
Its not hating if its true.
You never see Shaq shyt on LeBron, KD, etc. He respects other greats. But those who ain't in his class he does shyt on and I don't see a problem with it. That's how top tier alpha males like him operate. They sometimes gotta mark their territory.
Skinny weakside shotblockers don't bother Shaq.
Do you even understand basketball?
In no situation is Gobert bothering Shaq in the slighest. Shaq is putting him under the basket every play.
Rudy just got that silly contract. I got no problem with Shaq shytting on him. This silly era of players deserve to be clowned by the previous greats for eating off what they built.

Yea that nikkas self loathing level is up there.
Why do people constantly talk about the greatest moment in some old head's career and pretend that's how they played every series?
I remember prime Shaq looking very average against Vlade Divac and Scot Pollard. I remember 6'8" 230lb Brian Grant getting mad reps against prime Shaq in a series the Blazers almost won. If they can handle him, why not Gobert?
the financial situation of today's NBA business has nothing to do with shytting on someone out of the blue. You see older great NBA centers shytting on Shaq because he made substantially more bread than them during their era? It's hoe shyt. Insecurity and pocket watching being mad for no reason when you eating great youself. shyt is dumb fam.
He need to go holla at the General if he want mo bread then. Embrace, don't hate. It's one thing if Rudy said he'd dominate Shaq. Homie ain't even doing nuffin but eating some croissants and escargot and shyt.
LOL @ you goofballs thinking Shaq is putting up 45 pts in 3 quarters.
He'd get pick-and-rolled to death all game in this era.
He'd be dominant -- without question.
But he'd be in motion defensively so often that he'd need to be in much better conditioning...and the offenses today function in such a way that there simply would never be the opportunity for him to attempt enough shots/dunks to get to 45 points in 3 quarters. That's how now Centers now are used.
The people who cry about "do you watch the games" ....like....do you watch the games today?
Do you know what Shaq's value would be in 2021?
He'd be a constant double-team that allows the offense to kick out for 3 pointers all game.
Prime Shaq isn't averaging 45 in 3 quarters, much less a game.
In 2021 he's far more likely to get 22-25 but with potentially 8-10 assists per game. That's where the 2021 value would be.
Yall swear yall know basketball but say the dumbest shyt.
No you're the dumbass who thinks Shaq never got double teammed in the 90s and 00s. Shaq is a scorer. He ain't averaging no 8-10 assists. That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. With no big men in the game anymore he wouod feast. He would get deep post position every play and dunk the ball before the double team could bother him.
Plus you really think nobody tried pick n rolling Shaq to death in the past? How do you think teams like the '02 Kings played? Everyone knew even back then the way to give Shaq fits was to put him in a ton of pick n rolls. Teams did it back then. And Shaq while never a great defender, had decent mobility in his younger years and could move his feet.
Yes teams would score on him but he would score a lot more. Prime Shaq is getting 35 pts and 15 rebs a game easily in this weak era.
As usual you always come in with a moronic basketball take. Must be in the cac DNA to understand hoops.
Brian Grant and Vlade had some strength. Gobert is a lamp post. His skinny ass would have zero chance.
Yeah dummy.
But you still think teams play 1996 basketball in 2021
You probably walk around with a Sony Walkman in your Pelle Pelle jeans back pocket wondering where's the nearest Sam Goodys
That's cause he was a baller. Shaq don't shyt on the likes of LeBron cause he knows he's a baller as well. Guys like Shaq shyt on players they know are inferior to them and don't deserve to be banking off the league they built up.
Even if Shaq is telling the truth (and he is) it's not a good look that he has to try and shyt on these younger cats. Is he angry that no one has modeled their game after him though Embid is the only one capable of doing so? Is he upset cause of the money they are getting even though i'm sure Shaq earned over 300 million in his career. He hasn't been out of the game long enough to have turned into a salty old man so i don't know what Shaq's issue with these cats is.
If teams had a Shaq they wouldn't be putting him at the 3-point line. When is your dumb ass gon realize the change in play has more to do with a decline in talent across the league than anything else.
Prime Shaq in today's NBA is playing just like he did in the 90s and 00s. He's gonna put every center he plays against right under the basket and is gonna dunk on them. No coach is gonna tell to not do that but instead wait for the double then pass to a 3-point shooter.
Did you even watch the Lakers back in the day? They had shooters around Shaq (i.e. Fisher, Fox, Shaw, etc.). They also were ahead of their time with a stretch 4 in Robert Horry. Shaq saw constant double teams and had shooters yet never got close to 5 apg let alone the asinine 8-10 you mentioned.
Shaq is a scorer. He's gonna get his 30-35 ppg in any era. And he'll do it the same way everytime. With brute strength.
