Shaq fires back at a claim made by Chris “Mad Dog” Russo, from ESPN, that Shaquille O’Neal is the 5th best center of all time. Adam Lefkoe reads out Mad Dog’s list and Shaq responds to each player Chris Russo placed above him. Where do you think Shaq sits in the best center of all time ranking?

I would argue for points against Hakeem if I was Shaq too 😂
Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem are ahead of him imo. Shaq, then Bill.
Wilt would’ve terrorized Shaq. I don’t mean he would have dominated him, but he would’ve been a matchup Shaq had never seen. Wilt was more than an inch taller with a longer wingspan, and despite being leaner played most of his career north of 285 pounds. Shaq was absurdly fast and quick for his size, but Wilt was even moreso. Wilt was a high level collegiate athlete in track and field. 10.9 100 meter, competed in sprints, 400, triple jump, high jump, and shotput. He was a freak unparalleled in history. You’d think Shaq looks so much bigger than Wilt until you see the video of Magic Shaq shaking a 50 year old Wilt’s hand and Wilt is clearly every bit as large in frame as Shaq, and taller. Taller, quicker, faster, and had a tremendous finesse game (most of Wilt’s shots were fadeaways and fingerolls).
Fuck tha he #1
I don't remember Shaq beating Hakeem Olajuwon in any NBA Finals. I remember Hakeem sweeping him in the Finals like yesterday trash 🗑 😅
So he's better than Bill Russell? Stop it 🛑
Hakeem beat me he mentioned I'm the finals I came back and beat him what did he mean by that he never beat hakeem
shaq just says "im better cuz i say so" and you guys eat it up
He’s realistically 4th
Charles barkley
I cant disagree wit shaq i got at 2 over wilt though because wilt had less competition and only got 1 ring shaq had more to compete against and got 4 and 3x he was the Finals MVP
😂
When did Shaq beat Hakeem
😂😂😂😂
1 Kareem
2 wilt
3 shaq
4 Hakeem
5 jokic
6 moes Malone
1) Kareem
2) Wilt
3) Shaq
Shaq was the best … PERIOD!
He number 1 if doing a draft in all there primes
ShaQ # 4
Wilt Kareem Hakeem
Wilt missed a lot of free throws too.
I can agree with all the people mentioned being better than Shaq. If Shaq actually shot a decent FT % (75 or better) I would say he was the best C or at least 2nd best of all time. Shaq was dominant in the post. With that said he was still a one dimensional post player that had a weakness (FTs).
Shaq destroyed everyone in the post. He really didn't do much else. He was decent on Defense when he was younger. I think when he gained weight he focused less on Defense. For as big as he was you'd expect him to be a better rebounding center. I think he has the lowest rebound #'s of all mentioned as well.
Shaq for me is D most dominant, when healthy.
#1
RASTA have a HEAVY SPIRIT 😂
Bill Russell is better than Shaq ever was
Dream is way better than Shaq!! Sorry
Wilt is stronger than Shaq
Shaq beat old Hakeem first round 99 with pippen and Barkley on Houston then Shaq and Kobe got swept by spurs second round
I agree to Shaq
Imagine being smacked because you missed it by two
I’m not #5,
I’m #3 damnit”…
I felt that way about Shaquille O’Neal at times as a Laker fan😢
I have jokic over shaq. Jokic is just as unstopably strong against centers he plays against. Better footwork in the post, has a fade, has a 3 point shot, top 5 passer in the game all time, better rebounders. hits free throws.
Shaq only has a bit on defense and maybe if they play against eachother a physical edge. Even in defense Jokic hands are way more disruptive.
Winning 1 ring in Denver is as hard as the 3 in LA so shaq has 1 ring value over Jokic for me. That is compensated by 3 mvp's and most dominant prime ever in the NBA (PER). and the amount of career left to play.
Magic Johnson and Billy Cunningham and Bobby Jones would of put fear in Prime Shaq
GOATed centers on my list.
1st: Kareem
2nd: Wilt
3rd: Hakeem
4th: Shaq
5th: Jokic
who the fuck is that😂😂😂
Yao Ming dominated!
Shaq you’re not better than Hakeem, Sir!
Pass Hakeem in what?
Where is Bill Russell? 11 rings, 5x MVP, 12x all star, 1x all star MVP, All nba, all defensive, rebound champ, etc.
I think it only Hakeem, Kareem and Wilt that are better than Shaq
when did he come back and beat Hakeem? lol
Imagine if Shaq was in shape! Kareem and wilt. Wilt would have torn Shaq a new asshole! Kareem was a beast! I do respect Hakeem and Malone because if all were in their prime it’s anybody’s game. 😮
Jokic is the best ever
Even though I’m Serbian this isn’t biased
I put Shaq at 2 over wilt because of the chips simple
3-second rule change for the 2001-2002 season ruined Shaq's career. He would have beaten them all, maybe not as many rings as Wilt but he would have definitely gotten more points than Kareem
For me shaqs my fav nba player ever
Talkin bout passin them up lol they had better peaks
My top 5:
Kareem
Hakeem
Bill Russell
Shaq
Wilt
BILL RUSSELL
Hakeem
Kareem
Shaq
Are the 3 best, I think Hakeem is the best
Moses in so so underrated
Wilt & Bill are icons
Walton could have been in top 3 if injuries well
Jokic & Hakeem are most fun to watch:)
The MOST dominant….ya had to have 3 bigs just to use as foul fodder or Diesel would destroy your chances at a W…even then it didn’t matter 90% of the time.
Imagine wanting to slap someone bc they don’t think you’re one of the best😂😂😂😂
