Shaq redeeming himself after getting stuffed by the rim
It’s kind of impressive he can still hang like that without tearing something
He probably did tear something. Did you see how he was walking after the dunk?
Not sure if I’m missing a joke here, but is that not just his classic post dunk stride?
Yeah. The Lakers flair guy was joking but I’m not certain if everyone else after him knows 😂
Obviously a joke
Can never be sure tbf.
Almost like he pooped himself. That’s the pooped my pants walk.
He’s saving that for later.
Get a towel and wheelchair - Paul Pierce
He usually goes in a bucket
Or on a toothbrush
I thought they brought you a wheel chair, like Paul Pierce.
Reinforced those rims for my boy because of my boy
Shaq is an anomaly, truly one of the most insane bodies in NBA history (pause)
Seeing it live was insane. He was just waaay too big to be able to move like that.
I’m honestly more impressed by the rim being able to hold him. lmao
my first thought is that he probably doesn’t do any jumping for obvious reasons but works out his upper body at least somewhat regularly
That was my concern the whole time
He actually looks like hes in pretty good shape given his age, size, and miles.
Doesn’t walk like Kenny, at the least lol
Dude I was concerned the first time I saw him walk
I still am
They publicize injuries while players are playing, I wish they somehow did the same for after their career without violating HIPPA. I wonder how many basketball adjacent surgeries people like Brandon Roy have had since they retired. I bet Shaq has had to have some work done since retiring to clean up damage from his playing days.
But only on company time. He got injured on company time, he gettin surgery on company time
I’m so happy Kobe told him they would’ve won like 9 in a row if Shaq didn’t take his God given gifts for granted.
I’ve read it’s pretty bad for football players. That when the camera is on, they suck it up. But they are limping around otherwise
He looks like he lost weight compared to some videos I saw of him on TNT last year
Big boy over 7ft. Probably got Zemp, healthy diet and training on lock. He’d def be thinking about the future.
Someone like Kareem is probably an outlier for a former pro athlete that big staying mentally and physically sharp into his old age.
And it’s likely because he takes great care of his mind and body.
Kareem got into yoga when he was still playing. Credited it with helping extend his career.
Yoga and training for flexiblity/functional strength is what 99% of people should be doing instead of trying to max out their bench/squats. I’m 28 and I’ve never felt physically better in my life than I do right now despite sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours a day.
Counterpoint… You’re only 28.
100% this. It’s been almost decades plural for me (holy hell writing that out makes it too real lol). I remember going out on weekdays, drinking until 3am, then easily working at 8. Small injures from exercise or sports healed so dang fast. You could go hard on diet and exercise and get jacked so fast. All the young people reading this - enjoy it and stay in shape!
I turned my ankle badly playing softball back in March. The fucking thing still hurts and is likely the cause of my persistent hamstring tightness on same leg. All of the other muscles are compensating for the ankle, so there’s tightness in my calf, muscle next to shin, and foot as well, but the hamstring is the most noticeable after the minor discomfort from the ankle with every step. I’ve been to PT maybe 6 or so times over the last few months, but the healing is just so slow. And I’m only 39. Lebron is an alien.
Hakeem, Russell. Wilt, Karl Predalone, Duncan, Robinson… Wilt died kinda young though but was a beast pretty much to the end
healthy diet and training on lock
He didn’t do this in his prime with hundreds of millions on the line.
I think the only variable that changed is the peptides. We have the technology for fat people like Shaq now.
how in the fuck can you try to film a video of shaq dunking and you can’t even get the rim in the shot?
To be fair, when he let go of that rim it shot up to Saturn
Better than Myanus.
Still a higher vert than Jokic
Dude has to jump like 6 inches to dunk
Looks like Dude can only jump 6 inches
Its wild how mobile he still is at like 55
He shouldn’t be able to jump realistically
Yeah Shaq’s in decent shape particularly given his age/size.
Was not surprised he is still able to dunk the ball.
To be fair, that was a shorter rim at the second location…in front of all the kids.
They lowered the rim😜
Ok so im 40. I was playing in the street with my 5 year old on a hoop thats now rusted in place so id pick him up to shoot. He tried to soccer the ball past me so i did the thing where i grab it and drive for the layup. Havent done that in..a few years in rhetrospect. I got to the rim and realized nothing happened when my brain hit the jump Button but i had too much momentum and plowed into the pole. Being old is wierd sometimes your controller just disconnects
no broken glass 1⁄10
He really shat all over that rim
I bet you wish you were that rim huh
I wish I was his teammate
i wish i knew how to read
Dudes an entertainer
How about he get a bucket of someone else’s shit and piss dumped on him before we talk about him “redeeming himself”
I’ve seen enough, Lakers should sign him
He should try a free throw instead
That first attempt is what happens when I try to dunk and I’m short. I think if I were 7 foot I’d be able to dunk forever.
Rim was definitely 9’10 3⁄4 cant count this one
I thought his redemption was going to be two made free throws.
Fuck scat man
And then he smeared shit in someone’s mouth as a prank. Haha, that silly Shaq, always goofing about with fecal matter. Gotta love him!
Careful you don’t injure yourself big guy
Let ‘em know Shaq!!!!!
Sad he can’t do it every time at that height
Someone’s gotta ask it. Could Shaq make an NBA roster?
Nope
I respect him for still trying. Most older NBA vets won’t play at all for fear of looking silly.
I wonder if Steph will still shoot threes in public in 15 years. I’d guess yes.
Wemby doesn’t have to worry about this since he can dunk with his feet on the ground.
