You won't see anything Like him again ...

[ctrlaltdelete]

MJ and him, in their primes, are probably the 2 most dominant players I've seen since I started watching NBA basketball in the early 90s

[blackricktheruler]

The NBA allowed zone defense because of Shaq's dominance in the post smh.Just a flat out monster on the block.

[wep]

Shaq just wasn't fair. He is the definition of physical specimen 7 ft 350 lb monster who would box up ANYONE by will. One of the greatest of all time big men

[bjornjosefsen]

1, 000, 000 fouls would've been called already on Shaq in today's NBA

[gremcilia_immermurin]

Imagine how much more dominant he would've been if he had the crazy work ethic.

[antoncigur]

I remember those days. This video doesn't minimally show how truly dominant Shaq was. Dunking was only the last moment, probably a relief for the difender. I remember the center guarding him, desperately trying to keep Shaq away from the rim, often without success and often, even with the help of other teammates. It was a pain just watching it..

[atiqaw]

The most dominant basketball player ever no one could stop him especially in his prime

[style]

The amount of times he dunked on Hakeem, mutombo, morning, Robinson, Ewing is insane. Were talking about 5 of the top 10 shot blockers/ rim defenders ever.

[vinceluoh]

Part of what made Shaq great was his antics! He just had so much fun playing the game, it made you want to watch him play :)

[krndevil]

In terms of the combination of size, strength and vertical, he might be the most dominant big man of all time. No one could stop him tbh

[scootover]

The most dominant center I've ever seen. If Shaq is not in your top ten of all time, you really don't know basketball

[TheJanvicgwaps]

This man is one of the reasons they made shatterproof backboards.! haha!!

[wesley_Certified]

I think I finally have understood how people felt against Shaq I’m 15 and went against my stepdad who’s 6’7 or 6’8 385 lbs and he used to bench 535 and deadlift 840 and he used to have a 4.9 40 yard dash when he played football in high school (back and knee injuries) he’s unstoppable in the post of he does a spin or a dropstep he spins the earth 😂

[aznzero]

Immovable might not be the best word considering he was moved between like every franchise

[yavuzsultanselim]

The most dominant player of NBA history.

[josejusto]

My favorite center of all time, the big Diesel, Shaq Fu !

[ProfessorZo]

I like how they cut the shove after he dunked on Chris Dudley @1:27

I wish The NBA makes videos like this for Timmy. He's the best PF all time after all.
