Shaq on His Place in the GOAT Debate and His Mutual Respect With Kobe
Спорт
The week on The Old Man and the Three we welcome the one and only Shaq. To start, JJ and Tommy preview the second round matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. Then JJ and Shaq discuss so much, including why Shaq calls out current NBA players like Dwight Howard, and how players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain treated him similarly. He also explains his balance of playfulness and killer mentality as a player, when he understood that he needed to put on a show, his approach to the Finals, and how he looked for slights as motivation. Shaq also reflects about the end of his career when he realized he wasn’t the same type of dominant player, and the grieving process that came with that. He also explains why he doesn’t think he belongs in the GOAT conversation, the burden of free throws, the metal respect that him and Kobe Bryant had for each other on the Lakers, and what he took away from that relationship into playing with Dwyane Wade. Finally, he breaks down the games of his idols in the 90s and current NBA players he’d pick to play with. Then, Sue Bird joins JJ and Tommy for a draft of movie monologues.

Probably a better fit for Mind the Game but if you'd consider a Q&A section but here's two: 1. What percentage of NBA possessions involve a formal 'play'? 2. How are play calls shared without telling the the other team? Particularly in the playoffs where they likely have studied your sets

He will be surprised. I was. Many athletes see working on their mental game as a sign of weakness and it has nothing to do with that but with regulation and control of activation (among other things). He missed an opportunity and probably he will see it. I love Shaq and I hope he can see what S PSY really is.

The C's losing Shaq in 2011 was tragic. Dude even in his last year was a gamechanger for the team. That team dominated the first half of the season. As soon as he got hurt we kinda spiraled and fizzled out early in the playoffs
Thank you for existing JJ, cheers :D. Shaq Diesel is the GOAT.. Most unstoppable force in NBA history!

Nice interview. Nice job of staying respectful to an NBA all timer. Solid work JJ
"What DO you believe it, Crash?" The best moment in Bull Durham and definitely my favorite sports movie monologue of all time, and on my short list overall.
Thanks JJ. Good job.
Amazing podcast @theoldmanandthethree as for the monologue. “I know I act scary but most of the time….Im terrified…” -J.S 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shaq is one of my favorite humans. Has been since 92. Love him ❤
Shaq is very motivational tbh. And finishing the pod with the Sue Bird draft... goosebumps! Now I wanna do this with my friends/family
Love how candid Shaq is.
JJ got Shaq to open up like a phycologist 😂
Shaq keeps it real. JJ is a Klutch sports mouthpiece
Great Shaq interview. JJ, you brought the best out of Shaq. Sue Bird is always so darn cute, and simply an awesome young lady that I love to here. Great understanding of basketball and speaks from her heart, always. One of the few people I would love to meet.
43:28 for a moment I thought there was a humongous fart in the background 😂. Love the interview.
Enjoying the podcast
Great pod
Damn JJ was saying some crazy stuff to Shaq! 😮😂 Also crazy nobody had Rocky's speech to his son about being a winner. I still listen to that sometimes to get pumped up
It's so refreshing to see that one of the most dominant dudes in sports is also a very sensitive man, afraid of what people could say about him. Humbling.
We all love Shaq. Most dominant player ever. Superman. He's helped countless. Amazing individual. But he's not superman off the court, he's human like the rest of us.
Sue's voice is so soothing
Great interview on both sides~
JJ's yellow sweatshirt is crispy, clean af.
Shaq in the building, YESSIR 🔥
I never heard Shaq cuss this much he was into this. Great pod!!
KEEP THEM COMING JJ
This was a great conversation with the Big Fella two questions in
The draft segments are the best!
the handshake at the end is crazy
My greatest monologue of all time was Ben Affleck character, Holden in the movie Chasing Amy. Or his monologue in good will hunting where he tells Will that his favourite part of the day is the five seconds every morning where there’s a chance will isn’t here anymore, that he’s left southy to make something of himself. Powerful friendship
Not JJ yapping his Alfred analogy to Shaq I'm dead

Shaq loves the hierarchy and basketball stratification.
Goddamn. Incredible podcast, and really makes me wish Wilt was around long enough for Shaq to earn his respect
As a kid all I wanted was Shaq joining my Lakers. When that happened, the LA dynasty that was born out of Shaq/Kobe/Phil and supporting cast was mighty awesome! However, the more I learn about Shaq from TV series about him, podcasts, the bigger chasm in my aadmiration for him and Kobe. I mean, Shaq's a big boy, but the Black Mamba is the real deal!
I love ShaQ he's so funny so humble and perfect person and player
20+ years after, and it still hurts when Shaq says the Sacramento Queens. We were just about three corrupt ref calls away from a ring.
45:52 Yooooo Merton Hanks was the man. I have a vintage jersey in the closet lol.
Give JJ an assistant coaching start. Great mind for analysis like Jason Kidd and he'll relate to the players as the exemplary person they need to be to be successful
Shaq ABSOLUTELY gets the crown of the most dominant player ever!

Shaq is one of the coolest dudes of all time
That is a tough question/excercise starting 5 with a cap. Shaq did a solid job. I'd personally do Shaq, Steph, then I'd do the 3 for the other max in KD. Aaron Gordon the 4. I'm actually shifting Steph to the 2 and going Monte Morris as my other guard.
Why do you say lebron knows him. JJ you are, in my opinion, improving big time as an interviewer. They accept asking you that kind of question.
Isn’t it ironic how Shaq criticizes Dwight, rightfully might I add, about him not maximizing his full potential yet Shaq never worked out during the offseason to maximize his insane physical gifts….
