“Whoever was recording was talking so much we couldn’t hear it”

Man even TNT now joining in on roasting the guy

Shaq 1000% right. Russ knows he’s doing bad and his solution is to go faster and faster. Bro slow down and pick your battles. Analyze the floor. That’s something he has to learn

[romemakes]

Wade the perfect example of someone who was flash fast and athletic that learned how to euro slow and explode when necessary

[hugochinchilla]

Derrick Rose is the perfect example of what Shaq is saying. You can still have ur explosiveness, but you need to know when to use it.

Shaq “I love Russ I want him to do well”

Simple And Very Sound Advice From The Hall Of Famer Shaq!!

I love how DWade and Candace Parker tried not to laugh so hard when Shaq bring up the bank shot at the top of the board 😂

Would like to see Wade do a breakdown of Russ at some point. A.I., Wade, and Russ were cut from similar cloths, but Wade really knew how to attack in his althleticism, not just with his athleticism. It wasn't a bat he tried to beat you with, but a blades edge to cut into your angles. So much so that even as that edge dulled Wade aged gracefully and could carve up a defense when it was needed in that Father Prime era.

Add in the experience of playing with LeBron, and I don't know if there's s better player to offer great constrictive criticism. He needs to loosen up on these shows and let some opinions fly, dude had phenomenal instincts for the game as a player.

It will be interesting seeing how Russ's game evolves at this point in his career since he won't be able to rely on athleticism or speed as much as he use to. At his age, his understanding of the game should be able to give him an edge over other guards. Shaq is right here.

Thank god you got Shaq to explain it a bit more, the guy recording was talking so much bruh💀

[DaNewWaveLee]

Thanks Shaq for being a Laker. We need y’all involved with the team.

"You know how to shoot" Stop the cap Shaq 😂

[moniquewrites]

That's love Russ. Accept that love from Uncle Shaq!

[peteraudu]

I enjoy watching great players support other great players in their low moments. It's true that Russ should have learned to pace himself earlier in his career. Though I believe he finally will this off-season. Change is easier when there is no choice. He can't outrun guys anymore. This will be one of his biggest offseasons.

"Did he listen?"
"He scored"
Gotta love Russ

[Angelo]

I've been a big supporter of Russ even before he ran the show solo in OKC when Durant left, and Shaq is right, he needs to slow down. Everyone knows Russ has the reputation of going hard every single game, but his age is beginning to show, especially this season. He needs to pick the time when to show that speed rather than going 100% the whole time. He needs to study how guys like Chris Paul who are able to change their speed when needed and utlitize it for his benefit. I really hope he is able to take Shaq's advice for the better of himself and the Lakers. The more he decides to take his time, the more efficient he'll become.

i am not even listening i am too busy looking at MRS. PARKER!!!

[bodytheft]

i'd like to hear what Wade has to say about Russ, like what he thinks he should do to improve or fix his game

[PapaMatt]

I think he needs to post up more. He's so athletic and strong that he could easily overpower, most point guards in the NBA not named Luka Doncic.

[Mlynoph]

Love that a lot! If i was Russ i definitely wouldn't take the advice from the legend Shaq lightly. He absolutely knows the issues but more importantly knows the right advice to give as well!
