Shaq to Pippen "You were not the main focus of the 6 rings.Dont make me pull up the scouting report"

[Art Barr]

But an ALL STAR team as his back up

People in here giving Kareem a quickness advantage over Shaq

show you don't know bball, breh.

Shaq was never quicker than pedigreed center in the NBA before he dominated.
Shaq, was owned by every top center with pedigree from hobbled ewing to Robinson to hakeem, breh.
go watch the tapes.

wilt, a train and Kareem would have owned Shaq.

NO U CANT..BECAUSE A.)KOBE WON 2 RINGS WITHOUT SHAQ AND B.)KOBE WAS A MAIN FOCUS IN THE THREEPEAT YEARS.


CMON FOLKS

No.......


Now Kobe DID win TWO rings without Shaq. There is no disputing that.

But them 1st 3? Kobe and the Lakers rode Shaq's coattails.

Shaq was the main man, he was the MVP of each of them finals, he was the leading man, he was the main focus. Teams was doub teaming and game planning for Shaq more than anyone else on that court.

To put things in to more perspective let's just talke about the 3 finals alone.

In 2000 vs Pacers Shaq was avg 38 ppg and Kobe 15.5

In 2001 vs 76ers Shaq was avg 27.4 ppg and Kobe was 17.2


Now those are paltry "role player" numbers right there.

Now I won't front in 2002 Kobe did FINALLY step his game up a little and avg 26.8 ppg but Shaq was avg 36.3

Kobe was a Robin who at best later on became Nightwing


Breh ain't know one mainly focusing on a cat averaging 15 and 17

Why couldnt the unstoppable Shaq just average 35+ a game and beat the Pistons in the '04 Finals?

Pistons didnt even bother double teaming him

20 points in a close out game 6?

Can't pass himself the ball

 

[Jplaya2023]

Why couldnt the unstoppable Shaq redeem himself with the Heat in '05 against the Pistons?

Averaged 20 & 7 through 7 games

Both him and Wade got hurt. Shaq was getting blood drained from his thigh just to play.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Why did the unstoppable Shaq need to be carried to his 4th ring by Dwade in '06?

Averaged 14 & 10 while Dwade carried the team

Past his prime then

 

[Jplaya2023]

Shaq has an argument as the best center ever.
So does Kareem.
So does Wilt.

But people realize Shaq only won three rings as a laker, right? Because he was on that team for 8 years. With Kobe for all 8, and all NBA level kobe for 6 of them.

Just seems like for "the most dominant force in basketball" he should have, well... dominated more.

Not Shaqs fault

tried to take over the team and the role players got flabby

 

[beenz]

Shaq's top 2 player ever for me so he can say whatever. I love MJ but those Bulls teams and nobody else for that matter could have dealt w/ Shaq during that run

 

[beenz]

Listened to the podcast today.

He also said Scottie didn't do anything when he left Chicago, and choked in Game 7 of the Blazers-Lakers game.

pip was like 36 years old in that lakers/blazers game. what was he supposed to do? he was well past his prime.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

Kobe was to busy chuckn up 3s with 2 guys in his face

This.

 

[Piff Huxtable]

thinking about the Bulls starting 5...

who plays PG? Rose or Norm Van Lier?
who is the PF? Rodman, Bob Love or Elton Brand?
Noah or Gilmore at Center?

Lakers 5 would beat them, but beating a team with on it by 50 points? hell nah

Lol this entire post is complete bullshyt. Shaq was never owned by anyone. Those great centers got theirs and Shaq got his whenever they played. Shaq played very well against Hakeem in the finals considering he was very young.

And the only two great centers that were quicker than Shaq were Hakeem and D. Robinson so again your post was complete bullshyt. You're the one who clearly doesn't know the history of basketball

 

[Danie84]

Wait, what's the FuSschnicken goin on here

...Shaq (3 Rings) tryin to put Scottie (6 Rings) on that Summer Jam Screen

La Schmoove, yo we don't got nothing to prove

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Didn't know the Kobe lovers hated Shaq to that degree...I know they got an attitude with his commentary and him saying slick shyt about old teammates but this is insane. Shaq is a ONE OF A KIND type of talent.....Kareem benefited from not dealing with a Shaq. He would of NEVER won as much as he did had he dealt with Shaq.

If we're being all the way honest, Kareem, MJ, Isiah, and Magic probably don't win as much if Ralph Sampson stays healthy and plays w/ Hakeem for 10-15 years

you couldn't have been cognitive when Shaq went against the older guard.
simply cause you never actually saw or noticed the disparity in Skills between Shaq and the old guard.
Shaq used to get owned by:

ewing : Hobbled
hakeem
Robinson

he was never their equal.
you don't even, know about one hand jump shot Shaq era and talking a bunch of bullshyt.
Shaq was never on that old guard of centers actual skill level.
to the point, undersized mourning had to backup or play twin towers to shore up the heat's inside defensive liability in an undersized NBA era at center.

years after this, and all because Shaq never ramped up skill wise other than deep penetration to the low block.
which he could never get on the old guard of centers at all.
which is how one hand jumpshot Shaq was even introduced.

tired of you lame sports forum refugee ass nikkaz talking.
when you only talembout sports cause you sucked at talembout hip hop.
then, cause sports has no culture like hip hop..come over here and your bullshyt is not readily identifiable.
yet, I know most of you nikkaz not great at sports talk.
plus, your knowledge is never put to the test like mine.
With the real.company I kept to talk about this shyt on.
Which includes scoop Jackson on a personal level.

y'all some refugee failed at hip hop posting frauds now in sports talk.

while, I am:
