The ONLY player ever to make me get up out of my seat, walk over to the television, and turn it off in the middle of the playoffs. He dunked on 4 grown men and I had seen enough.

This man was really a different machine. DIESEL

[vanjohnmoreno]

Even embid and gobert will be folded into two by Shaq attack

[michaelmcfadden]

lol at Draymond Green thinking he could stop this.

[thomas_the_cat]

a lot of people remember him for his bullyball style... but what made prime shaq scary is that he was also quick

[tommywolmart]

Those pro hops and pivots -- dude was brute force incarnate, but seems like people dont mention his expert footwork enough

[jayelbee]

Shaquille O'Neal was a 7-1, 300 pound android from the dunk planet. He was ferocious, powerful, and nasty. He was a monster 😳

[tomasvasquez]

Shaq was too damn quick for being that big 😂

[JonnyLin]

3:56 is basically a summary of just how dominant Shaq was.

The 76ers rush over to triple him as soon as he gets the ball in the post and he still looks completely unbothered getting an easy dunk. He was getting this type of coverage the whole series and still averaged 33-16-5 on 57% shooting. He made Mutombo, who won DPOY that year and was 7 foot 2 and 260lbs look like a baby out there.

[runeteardown]

nobody is built like that anymore, fast skilled and powerful. the most dominant ball player ever.

He's the very first NBA player I've ever watched. I remember seeing a TV full of players, then there's this big dude suddenly appearing on the screen. Looking like a literal monster.

[oceeforddude]

That’s why everyone says “those are Shaq’s 3 Championships” he was unstoppable

[theydidntnameme]

3:57 triple teamed and still bangs on all of them lmao

[marcoperez]

Draymond needs to watch this video so he can understand he would not be able to remotely stop prime Shaq in any possible way...Carry on!

[tracyelsinger]

What made Shaq special was that he wasnt just huge. He was huge, and freakishly quick and athletic for his size, and also had great touch. Supposedly the size of his hands contributed to his FT struggles, but close to the basket they were an advantage. He could hold the ball like an ordinary person holding a grapefruit.

[bradyhicks]

God what an amazing Era to watch Kobe and Shaq play together

[MrClebophd]

I like the sequence where he got triple teamed, pivoted and dunked. The look on the 76ers player faces: "Umm, we can't stop this...nuh uh".

[weho_brian]

lets not forget, Shaq played in an era where every team had a legitimate 7 footer

[leorotia]

Shaq and kobe is the best duo in the NBA.

[Red-gcdw]

This was Shaq at his apex. When he gotten bigger but was still in shape. Still athletic quick and moved like a gazelle. There was no stopping this shaq.
