NBA Finals 2001: Shaq's Near Quad Double

[Fripitto]

0:18 Goaltending.

[salarmander27]

damn, the staples center crowd doesn't even stand up anymore.

[ultrakool]

a double-double is a far cry from a near quad. if had gotten that last assist, then i'd say wow. the majority of his blocks went out of bounds. if he would have batted them to teammates, then i'd say wow. just sayin

[Zequiman2011]

Esa final era un afano. Shaq, Kobe y Fisher contra Iverson SOLO, por ahí Mutombo pero Shaq lo mataba. Era imposible que los Sixers ganaran. Igual en esa temporada la gran figura fue Allen Iverson

[jayjoetube14]

when shaq goes back after retirement he would be a laker again, and another ring for the lakers again

[longlivecrow]

The 2001 Lakers could have been the greatest basketball team ever assembled. No one even came close to beating them the whole playoffs. I would give anything to see them go head to head with Jordan's 96 Bulls.

[MrSlik25]

@longlivecrow How is it a near Quad double when it's not even a triple double??? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm.?

[SolidSnakeRules]

@longlivecrow lol the 2001 Lakers the greatest? the 3-peat Lakers notoriously needed the refs' help to beat the Kings and the Wolves. They're arguably not even the best team of their era, let alone all-time.

[ultrakool]

@longlivecrow the '83 sixers would have smoked both of those teams. malone would have de-shaqed shaq and irving would have outmatched jordan. edge...sixers

[SakeofART]

Don't care what anyone says. Shaq and Kobe. Best one two punch to ever play the game.

[ski4life19]

@SakeofART Jordan and Pippen are arguable

[kylegrtf94]

That was a goaltend in 0:15. And I don't think that pass to Kobe for the dunk should be an assisst since Kobe took two dribbles. But nonetheless, a great performance. a 20-20, 9 assisst for a big man, and 8 blocks? Holy Shit!

[metzdawg3000]

in game 6 of the 2003 finals, Tim Duncan was 2 blocks away from a quad-double.

22 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and 8 blocks (he had a Finals record 33 of those)

[aberjan21]

LOL clearest goaltend ever at 0:15

[FunWithAaron]

0:41 it sounds like he said, "we're in for one of those Jew wars!" lol

[aidsanity]

is Kobe's current number 24 derived from Shaq's 34? I mean, Kobe was really minus 10 from Shaq's dominance LOL. Talk about all around game. :)))

[Spiqaro]

@aidsanity I've always thought two things about him changing it to 24. First: it's 1 over Jordan's 23. Second: His original number was 8, and with his 8 jersey he won 3 rings. If you multiply 8 by 3, you get 24.

[coolazdude94]

but did howard almost have a quadruple double no, did he get a triple double no, Shaq is the original superman and is > Dwight

[killermike96]

howard broke the block record for the finals with 9

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

Alonzo Mourning had a quadruple double in the regular season I remember but he did it with 10 turnovers.

[kdc111190]

haha lol

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

this was close to how the Bulls destroyed the Lakers in 91.

[liweiwu007]

de ja vu for phil jackson.

[escobar60099]

damn shaq was unstoppable back then well i was still glad Sixers made it to the Finals

[mor235]

man i wish he got that Quad Double

[FlamesXT10]

shaq couldn't even get a td

[spursdynasty08]

tim duncans 2003 finals game 6 stats 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and what should have been 9 blocks. (they gave one to david robinson that tim clearly blocked) so he was literally only one block away from doing it!! duncan > shaq !!!!!

[gregbest90]

erm no....

[PhanatixDDH]

What's ur point. He was 1 assist and 2 blocks away from a quadruple double, deal with it.

[liweiwu007]

tim duncan almost had a quadruple double in game 6 of the 2003 nba finals. he was 2 blocks shy.

[tedg4life]

shaq gets away wit so many goal tends

[DeadBodiesx7x7]

thats because he blocks like a rooster.

[mor235]

look carefully the ball is right at the peek of its slope

[ruma17]

that probably was just barely a goaltend but thats almost impossible for the ref to tell

[jghrking77]

refs call goaltending too much now that was but most of the calls are bs

[malemiddleclasswhite]

i second that

[moopsiez]

lol the first block was a goaltend, it was going downwards

[TheEphixx]

Look closer, it was on top of the arc

[mismaishorty]

nah i say it wasnt moving at all so it was a clean block

[pibol41zgz]

20 rebounds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAU
