Shaq “Wemby is the first perfect big man that’s ever created”
Does Wemby have evidence that Shaq has committed a crime, or is he really so generational that even Shaq can give another big man his flowers?
Shaq gives big man their flower if they’re generational. He gave Jokic his flowers and I’m pretty sure he praised Embiid in the past too.
He gives big man shit if they’re Javale McGee or if he views them as overpaid (ie. Gobert).
He does give centers their praise at times, but calling Wemby the first perfect big man ever created is huge praise considering he was saying Bol Bol can do everything Wemby does two years ago.
maybe bol bol is the one true goat
Wemby should never score above 26 out of respect for Bol GOAT
Bolbol is scoring 50 per game in Philippines rn.
While giving up a 100 to the opponent
Yall dickriding
It’s ok I get it
Character development
Probably just Wemby did enough to prove him wrong.
And Bol Bol did enough to prove him wrong too.
are you suggesting that somebody might have changed his mind… on reddit?
No, no, they would never… I mean, Shaq’s not here, is he?
/u/shaq hey are you there?
It’s a long setup to hail bol bol as a perfect big man, duh
The theory of Bol Bol could do everything Wemby does. The actual Bol Bol could not.
or if they try to do his gimmick (dwight)
Gobert isn’t overpaid and he has never been. We just watched him shut down Jokic until last game. The guy is the most impactful defensive big outside of Wemby. He earns that money.
The Gobert thing seems like it partly came from him saying that he would lock his ass up if they played each other in their primes
He hated on Jokic for so many years, and hated on Wemby for the firat year and a half too. He just turns tail when everyone starts calling his obvious jealousy out.
Yeah he told Jokic to his face that he though SGA should’ve won MVP right as it was announced that one year lmao
he respect big men who can take advantage of their size – offensively.
He did it to Dwight to try to motivate him, toxic but that’s what Kareem did to Shaq
The Gobert thing is crazy especially because he was saying it after Gobert straight up clamped Jokic for a few games recently. Cooked on both sides of the floor
That’s totally unfair to Shaq. Big men aren’t the only ones he gives shit to.
very true
He always has high praise for Duncan
He praised Embiid in this show tonight. It was a short quip like “he played exactly like a big man should”. Don’t quote me. I don’t recall it but it did stand out lol.
Wemby’s ceiling is greatest basketball player of all time so yeah he’s generational lol
I know he’s generational, but Shaq loves hating on bigs lol
Javale, Gobert, Howard, and Walton. Who am I missing?
He’s just that generational. Like he says, he’s fun to watch. He’s literally can’t miss tv, and makes the other guys on the team so much better.
Wembys current level and his potential are just thst undeniable. He’s going to be the goat.
LeBron and Jordan have put the requirements so astronomically high that Wemby could have a perfect career and still fall short. Let’s tap the brakes a little. I agree he does seem to have the potential, which is insane on its own, but so much could go wrong.
Boy convinced wemby can have a 15-20 year career of excellence to even qualify
Wemby is the greatest basketball player ever, I don’t care!!
I think he treats bigs like how casuals and media heads treated him. “You’re so big you got no excuse but to dominate”. Then he also got paid significantly less than players he’s significantly better than. He’s clearly bitter about it and a little jealous at how much love is given to bigs. He really has no reason to be but I guess when you’re on TV that often you can’t help but talk
Wemby is a true all around bigman for todays game, like Hakeem was for the 90s game.
hypocritical shaq will be back once wemby pass him on all-time list on r/nba
Wemby is like a basketball player who was put on a medieval torcher rack and made 7 feet.
As long as Wemby doesn’t call himself Superman, he’ll be fine
I’m shocked this didn’t cause Shaq physical pain to admit out loud
I’m not sure Shaq is black-mailable. He’s a well know degenerate fecal fetishist, does not seem to care.
So good that even Shaq cant hate
Just wait until Wemby starts calling himself Superman
He was fine with it when Giannis did it
I like Mr. Incredible for Wemby
Give it time
Wdym he started off hating him now he came around
Shaq is a world class hater, he will give flowers and then get in his feelings like always
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LGxVnyOnc5k
nah shaq used to call him bol bol and said bol bol was better
wtf I love Shaq now.
ah, so he’s finally dropping the “bol bol is just as good or better than Wemby” schtick, huh?
He dropped that a long time ago
Finally stopped being insecure about Wemby being a dominant big
Nah he just got more insecure about the basketball world calling him insecure
I think it’s more that he knows Wemby is going to be so undeniable that it’s better for him to just sing his praises instead of looking stupid on a level not even he is comfortable with
I don’t think he was ever serious about that.
Who says he’s dropping it?
Bol bol is generational as well /s
Rare occurrence of Shaq praising a fellow center
Not really, he will praise centres if he thinks they are legit
He just doesn’t praise Gobert
He loves Jokic
He gave him shit though about Jok getting the MVP over SGA
Does he? Wasn’t he saying before the only difference between wemby and bol bol was opportunity?
And he might have actually been dumb enough to believe it at the time. But now even he has seen Wemby play at least five times.
its worse, he said an unlazy bol bol was better lol
He’s pretty tough on Centers, I also think Shaq values Offense more than Defense so his praise is more slanted toward Offense I feel.
Its like he always said though, hes part of the Big Man Alliance. There was Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Hakeem, then Shaq. For all his insecurity he does give a damn about how you’re supposed to play that position. Hes finally getting enough perspective to give the flowers. He never had that with Dwight.
Damn been a long three years waiting for Shaq to come around.
you know shit’s legit if the Big Aristotle says so
And we all know the Big Aristotle knows his shit
same dude whose first words to Jokic after he won MVP: “Shai deserved it more”
Shaq just happy he can name a new number 1 and not get into the Wilt / Kareem debate which makes him third at best. Now they can all be number 2 or lower.
I mean Wemby’s got a long way to go, let’s see if they can take out the thunder first
Wemby just gave himself a concussion by falling over, the dude will be broken by 30. Lets try to appreciate him while he lasts but lets not jump to all time greatness until he proves it with accomplishment.
this comment pissed me off but you ARE right 😭
I mean, Shaq is easily second, wilt doesn’t really hold a candle to his accolades
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Kareem is 3rd all time and Shaq is in that 4-7 range. Wilt is firmly 9-15 depending on how much you want to believe
I feel like Shaq would of bullied him wilts feats were exaggerated he’s sort of mythical character like Bruce Lee but we all know a low level UFC fighter would dog walk him
of course the 2nd thing he mentions is Wemby’s free throws
i think he’s saying, this guy is me with free throws and threes. it’s pointed praise.
I think to be perfect he’d need to be built bigger. If he couldn’t be moved while doing everything he does, that would be perfect
i mean he barely turned 22, give em time
He needs one offseason with Daivd Robinson on an aircraft carrier.
Wemby coming back with Admiral arms is a scary thought
Didnt Shaq say we already had a Wemby in Bol Bol? Crazy turnaround
I mean… Wilt existed, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So did Hakeem
Wilt was a perennial loser who knew nothing but his own stats and personal gain. Wemby is much more akin to Bill Russell
Wemby is most likely the one who can challenge Russell as the greatest defender of all time
absolutely
Dwight Howard, Rudy Gobert, Joel Embiid all rollin over in their graves with this.
He praised Embiid once
Yeah, Shaq has even said that he thinks Embiid is more talented than him but doesn’t always use it how he should.
I do think injuries have robbed us of an all time great in Embiid. He’s fortunately got the accolades he has already
Hakeem?
He won’t say that once he starts winning rings. Then Shaq will start trolling him in the media.
I was shocked when he said this. Went from bol bol is same or better to Wemby the oerfect big man in less than 2 years.
He’s not wrong. Wemby is my 2K CAP come to life. Dude is a walking cheat code.
Would Shaq say this if he didn’t have all that bad pr in the last year or two
I’m genuinely not trying to hate, but, you can tell that it hurt Shaq a bit to say those words.
Has hell frozen over? Shaq respecting another big man??
He gives props, he gave props to Jok. Just don’t threaten his ‘dominant big’ legacy because Shaq can get quite insecure lmao.
if he were built like Shaq, that would be true
Doesn’t even have to be Shaq-like. Giannis-like is enough
What about Bol Bol Shaq?
This will age like milk. Not because of lack of skill, but because that body won’t hold for long.
People keep saying this but wemby is the most agile and flexible tall player ive ever seen you cant treat him like other players.
Damn Finally out of the bol bol comparisons
pigs can fly. maybe the world is ending
But does Wemby shit in a bucket and dump it on rookies? Google me chuck
Not quite perfect. If he had a body like Dwight Howard while doing the things he does then yeah,.
Wembanyama takes a shit in Shaqs shoes.
What about Ming!
i’m not happy for the spurs
What about Bol Bol?
O’Neal needs to carefully reconsider the grammatical structure of his syntax.
Someone finally got through to Shaq that the constant hate makes him look petty and lame!
wow very high praise from shaq
Just don’t get injured man
Because whats Shaq has said is true, he can play offense and defense at the same time, has great basketball IQ especially in defense… a team type of player, and has great basketball work ethic… once he develops his offense more, its really over for this league…
He used to give Dwight his flowers his first few years in the league until he started his whole “Superman” thing
Shaq is really showing love instead of hate and backhanded compliments
Holy shit
Agree, but I’m not sure that he won’t be made of straw. We’ll see how his career hold up.
