Shaq says he would’ve dropped 45 & 16 on Rudy Gobert in 3 quarters

i see it's a regular monday morning here on planet earth and shaq has delivered his usual uncheckable bravado. shaq seems to enjoy having this platform where he can share all his imaginary successes.

I have always found Shaq insufferable. He's a 10 year old narcissistic kid trapped in a 40 something years old's body.

Shaq is never going to play against Gobert, Jordan isn't going to play against LeBron. Shaq and Jordan were great in their era, Gobert and LeBron are doing fine now. Who cares?

The narrative out there that Shaq would be too slow in today's league is so laughable. Orlando Shaq was lean, athletic, and more explosive than any center playing today by a wide margin. That version of Shaq would be just fine defensively.

I know Shaq post retirement is an annoyance, but don't skew the truth to what he was as a player.

Yep, I think he would have used his body differently in today's league. Probably playing a lot more like Giannis. In the 90's and 00's centers were expected to bang in the paint, which is partially why Shaq put on weight.

It's trippy to think about how different things were back then. Every team had multiple 7'+ guys whose job was to stand in the paint with their arms up. Remember Todd MacCulloch? lol

Shaq will have 5 off fouls in 10 minutes

Todd MacCulloch lmao the big man from Manitoba Haha. I remember him saying once years ago that he was thankful for Shaq for his pay cheque from the sixers. He was literally holding a roster spot because he was a 7 foot big body that can give Shaq 6 fouls. To Todd's credit, he did have good hands and could catch anything lol

Ah, those types of players don't exist anymore lol
