Shaquille O'Neal Monster Dunk over Greg Oden

[puunjabirockstar]

oden looks as old a shaq lol

[Mehranrokh]

it is so unfair, the other guy is just a kid compared to Shaq

[slepchor]

@Mehranrokh

every guy is just a kid compared to shaq. no body contact (shoulder to chest) here though, diesel uses only his elbows. he would have killed oden anyway, but still

[TuPadreCubano]

the nba allows 2 and a half steps

[TuPadreCubano]

the reason why that move works so good is because as you can see, shaq turns his elbows toward the defenders face.

[Jirulo]

imparable...

[nerf4555]

holy fuck... oden didnt go down with ANOTHER injury!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[chakdeindiasidd]

when oden was healthy he was very productive he was a good number 1 pick its just that the injury bug got him too early if he makes a come back he should be very dominant

[djekna]

typical nba travel. grabs the ball, pivots, lifts his stationary foot, stops to clear defenders and scores.

[treezX]

@djekna obviously you know nothing about traveling

[oldmanwithers1]

If anyone is still in debate over Shaq vs Dwight, heres a little something. Shaq at 37 years old (incredibly out of shape, body almost done) averaged 17.8 ppg for 30 mins a night, while Dwight, 23, IN HIS ABSOLUTE PHYSICAL PRIME, 20.6 for 35 mins a night. At Dwight's age, in his third year, Shaq was averaging 25 + against prime Hakeem in the finals holding his own. Dwight's career high = Shaq's rookie season. Rebounding is fairly even, yet Dwight plays in an era of pissweak centers. All Shaq.

[kevinseveneleven]

@oldmanwithers1 Well, Shaq was stat-stuffing that year and Dwight has never really played with guards that know how to get a quick, accurate post entry pass. With that said, it's pretty obvious that Shaq in his prime was better. Dude was one of the most dominant big men we've ever seen. It's not even worth it to spend the effort on a comparison of their offensive skills and performance.

[Sampson678]

Anyone know the name of the ESPN tune playing in the background of this highlight?

[MisterBinx]

Funny how Shaq just does a huge travel and gets away with it. What a garbage play.

[realrocky8591]

@MisterBinx

For real, I love those idiots who cry travel on every single play, when most don't know crap about it.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 All Im saying is if you lose to a top team is better than losing to a lower ranked team any day. If you disagree your lying to yourself. Top team is better than losing to a top ranked team. Take this Mavs(1st) lost to Warriors(8th) and they still get criticize for it and while lost as well it never owned up as bad as them.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 So losing to Bulls or Spurs is not better than losing to Cavs or Wolves. Or losing a boxing match to Manny Pacman or losing to A-Silva in a UFC fight is not acceptable? Or in politic losing a close raced election is not acceptable? Get out of here bud. Grizz are good but I don't compare them to Bulls not just yet as a team.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 And on top of that they gone let the Grizz take that series while losing to a MVP/Bulls is more acceptable.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 Kevin is the go to guy. They had no one granted he has step up. Danny granger was scoring champ and high scorer what about him? Al Horford is solid PF/C and I would of rather had him on the Blazers team than Durant. Hawks will eventually make him the first option till then he will have rather decent # than great.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 Too much talent on Hawks for him show his true potential.

[MSotelo503]

@King4945851 I dont smoke crack I just like the sleepers. Why jump on the bandwagon while there are other players that are good. Like Rose nobody had him on the top ten best players last year now everybody is wanting jersey.

[LosAngelesIzTheBest]

portland was probably embarrassed. now they wish they had durant.

[MSotelo503]

@LosAngelesIzTheBest I would of rather got Al horford.

[LosAngelesIzTheBest]

@MSotelo503 Al Horford is alright, but KD is the next big thing in the NBA.

[ItsElliottIdiot]

oden is really bill russell

[keyframer]

I remember this. Thing is, other than this and another dunk which Oden returned on the next play, Oden has held his own against that big mother.

[TheTexasTaco]

THEY DONT CALL HIM DADDY FOR NOTHING GUYS. COM ON MAN

[vexed334]

The funny thing is, Shaq is like 10/15 years OLDER than Greg Oden yet Mr.Oden appears to be 50-60 years old..

[shamWTF]

I was kidding btw

[shamWTF]

Shaq shouldn't be pushing like that! Oden might get injured!

[tallman862713]

i dunno why i see oden gettin facials from all the other players like daily...

[pimpsoldier0]

@tallman862713

Daily? the fuck you talking about? Not many people dunk on him when he plays that is why when someone actually dunks on him the video gets put up so u get the illusion that he gets dunked on a lot.

[tallman862713]

@pimpsoldier0 u do hve ur point..but i m not here to argue wit u...i remember there was a week or 2...he was in the top 10 highlights almost every day he played...peace...

[RickyAhubbard]

ha greg oden will be NEXT shaq

[Yung23Key]

@RickyAhubbard Never....

[lachhman123]

greg oden's potential is through the roof, but his injuries are keeping him down. Do i think oden in his prime can fit into shaq's shoes? hell no. Shaq is a bit washed up now, maybe not as quick or agile as he was before, but he's still a big body that can pass the ball pretty well.

[900nickybob]

the first shaq vid where u can see shaq and not some blob of pixels

[900nickybob]

get out of da way young fella

[MrTronvas]

to be honest, i think shaq is better than dwight, even now at his age

just my opinion

[Nimpa3]

Shaq can't jump anymore... he barely threw dat down

[MrlhOise]

the next supahman.

[RazaIsCool]

shaqs rookie year is better than any year dwight will ever have

[CptOfTheCoolKids]

old superman=Shaq....new superman=Dwight Howard

[TheAlexandertv]

SHAQ = SUPERMAN

[reneperezz]

Oden is an idiot! remember when he was on the SI cover saying he thinks he'll win like 14 titles haha, has he even played in a full game yet? hahahahaha

[RedDragonAirsoft]

@reneperezz How the fuck are you supposed to predict injuries you dipshit

[reneperezz]

@RedDragonAirsoft he shouldn't have opened his fuckin mouth saying dumb shit like that then.

[RedDragonAirsoft]

@reneperezz Are you fucking stupid? What's wrong with high expectations? He wasn't talking trash. He had high exceptions of himself and his team. Oden is a nice guy with glass knees.

[obsessivesffe]

During his rookie season, O'Neal averaged 23.4 points on 56.2% shooting, 13.9 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game for the season.

[1kingofutube]

Oden is actually very good and was a force for portland, when their offense was off, they would go to him to muscle and make something, and his defense was also very intimidating, he led the leauge in blocks before he got injured in 09, and with his defense the blazers blew out so many teams and had like 8 30 point wins, now they only win if their offense is on, and Kwame just sux. Poor Greg

[shane976654]

What a BEAST!

[d2flyyy]

Probably Oden's 2nd game of his career an he gets humiliated.. lmao

[treymanpig]

He punked his ass. Shaq calls that move the "black tornado"

[Imozep4Live]

big daddy slapping ass with his fuckin ellbow

[apt62]

imagine if shaq at his prime!!! Greg stands no chance.

[eafanboyssuck]

he stands no chance right now, even if oden wasn't injured

[101alva]

@apt62 i dont think any1 has a chance if shack was at his prime lol.. he was a beast

[takeit2thecourtmang]

im just saying shaq is a lot bigger than dwight and far more dominant

[Knezpedja]

@takeit2thecourtmang but Dwight can fly :D

[vegitan98]

@takeit2thecourtmang ue shit....dwight is wayy bettr that that ol fst ass

[stevielicious3]

@vegitan98 caus he's 37...dwight has a lot to prove and improve if he ever wants to be considered as one of the greats like shaq is

[pimpsoldier0]

@takeit2thecourtmang

Shaq in his prime would rip Howard's from the inside out. 7'2 325 lbs and he was so fucking agile and powerful.

[desertstorm21]

@takeit2thecourtmang Shaq in his prime = unstoppable. I remember those days.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

@desertstorm21 yeah, that was a very, very, very long time ago. now, he's just taking his show on the road. hopefully he can keep riding it til the wheels fall off, because i am not looking forward to a shazaam sequel in imax 3D. anywho, it's it strange that a lot of big men gravitated to being a power forward instead of a playing center when shaq was at his prime?

[asdfghjkl10531]

@takeit2thecourtmang Far more offensive fouling... I mean, dominant.

[xx0talis0xx]

@asdfghjkl10531 Greg was giving ground... If he had taken one of those straight to the chest and fallen. Then he could've gotten the call.

[boounique3]

I don't think that's gonna help his moral any...

[Granty10000]

he aint no dwight well thats what was expected but he will be a bynum with time and no more injurie hopefully

[FREEDOM23100]

U KNOW PORTLAND MUST B PISSED KNOWING DEY HAD THE CHOICE OF CHOOSING DIS GUY WHO LET INJURY AND EXPECTATION LET HIM DOWN ,AND KEVIN DURANT WHO LOOKS LIKE HE WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS OF THE NEXT DECADE , dat is jokes , bradon roy and kevin durant on the same team would have bin nice , greg oden turning in2 a kwame brown if he dont fix up

[Piotrasdabadman91]

the difference is Oden is slowed down by injuries whereas Kwame is just shit

[FREEDOM23100]

TRUE TRUE , BUT in a sense of disapointment , i watched sum of greg oden high school highlights i woz finking dis dude woz gonna beast , hes miles betta den kwame , i would take any center from high school around america den 2 put kwame brown in my team

[D3Andr3]

@Piotrasdabadman91 I dont even know why Jordan took a 2nd chance on him again. With all due respect to MJ; he needs to leave basketball alone because he doesnt have a clue about running a team in the front office. Kwame Brown is a disgrace to the NBA, he is the one who should be injury riddled.

[jagemobe]

too small.

[JNCPHX13]

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE GREG ODEN THE BUST! BIG BITCH gorilla

[Imozep4Live]

SHIT!! and that despite hes already old. king james will be glad. such a monster

[kufanboy15]

thats right oden, back down from the king!

[MatthewNi]

bynum plays like a bitch.

[takeit2thecourtmang]

shaq is by far the greatest force in nba history. stadning at 7'1 with 7'7 wingspan along with a 350 frame and u add in his 34 inch vertical in his prime, no center not even wilt has his stature. Closest guy to his ability was prob david robinson. Dwight is only 6'9.5 without shoes.

[FREEDOM23100]

wilt chamberlain

[hellblade23]

palyed against centers mostly 6ft8

[thegame0484]

who cares what dwight is without shoes. who the fuk plays basketball withOUT shoes

[okevino]

if you don't double team any top centers. they're gonna eat you alive.

[LinkTheBraveOne]

He is a beast! YEAH!

[lemwell83]

most dominant player....

[eml297]

Shaq the Best center ever

[Amir883]

Watch the videos of the 2001 Finals vs the Sixers when Shaq repeatedly elbowed Mutumbo in the face. It's what he does the best unfortunately. He is a big guy with a lot of mobility and talent, but when he does a spin move his elbows go straight into the defenders face most of the time.

[TheMatrix0189]

there you go shaq is still a beast!

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

give him time this was his rookie year was hurt all last year.

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

Pushed off with the left arm and backed in on the right side, how is he supposed to defend him.

[WonderBread006]

greg oden sux

[michaellacayo305]

he is a over rated in college thats why he sux in the pro's

[SmoothMM]

He's only been in the league for 2 years (1 year if you count that he was injured the entire 2007-2008 season). Give the guy a break. He's actually pretty good.

[michaellacayo305]

true but honestly ppl look at him in college like if he was great shaqs rookie would probably own the greg oden career

[SmoothMM]

"Shaqs rookie" was probably also like Greg Oden's rookie only with 20+ lbs, more durability, and more college basketball experience to improve his game (3 years at LSU compared to Oden's 1 year at Ohio State). Give Oden time to grow. He'll be there in a few more years.

[michaellacayo305]

who told him to leave early shaq is not also better but smarter

[SmoothMM]

No one, but you have to think from the player's perspective. They may not get the chance again to join the NBA plus some think about the money they could earn compared to "work-study" in college. But I do think that player's should spend, at the least, 2 years in college to get a degree, work on your game or enjoy the college experience. Also, just because you attended college doesn't make you smarter. But I will admit, Shaq is pretty intelligent.

[michaellacayo305]

dats is true every should go 2 college 2 years bcuz dey just want money

[ChazzyNazzy45]

Its called posting up

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

if that was posting he'd do it a lot more.

[ChazzyNazzy45]

Yeah, except he does this 15-20 times a game evrytime he posts up. Its not an offensive foul whatsoever, just being strong with the ball. Oden needs to add 20 more pounds if he wants to have a chance against Shaq

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

thats funny you he needs to add 20 pounds your way off. He just lost 15 pounds he was at like 285 very few guys in the league even close to his size maybe only Bynum. Even Dwight Howard is about 265 they say.

[ChazzyNazzy45]

shaq is the same height as him and look at him, he is heavy and he dominates. Your the one saying that a post up move is an offensive foul

[CHRISTIANABUSED]

He does barrel into guys a lot too, you can't just push your way to the rim when a guy has position defending diff. than this play. If that were the case every play he would get fouled or dunk fg% would be like 75-80.

[SmoothMM]

Or stay out of foul trouble so he can try to contend.

[MisterBinx]

elbow into Oden's face, not really a hard move to do when you clear out like that. Oden will destroy Shaq next year.

[Povilas7]

if shaq will manage to move his fat butt next year :D

[liweiwu007]

welcome to the nba rookie!

[dharamhemalover]

oden this is where the big boys play and shaq is especially the biggest boy lol

[sq4718]

he's so young but he looks so old, idk why

[ldc62]

Oden says hes gonna retire after this season.

[Gyro911]

Thats what the blazers get for drafting a 40 year old center

[ldc62]

hahaha

[vicmsq23]

LOL true why does he look like he's 30

[samgreat69999]

omg!!! dats the very definition of PAWNING!!

[jeanmatthieuj]

i think they're both 36 years old

oden look old

[TeRRoRx503]

u gusy act like its shaqs first year playing and greg is a rookie shaq is a vet so theres really no contest on whos better it has to be shaq by experiance

[dirkaras]

shaq is the great!

oden is the noob aahahahah

[qrqr4]

man i hope greg Oden doesn't become the next sam bogie hope he becomes a great player

[TheRatedIX7]

If he keeps gettin' injured like he is he will become the next Sam Bowie. He ain't off to a good start I can tell you that.

[Igotgame911]

Oden is prob the worst player to have...he gets injuryed waaaaaay to much and when he is healthy maby a goof 20 points...

[SmoothMM]

"Waaaaaay to much"? Oden has been injured only what: 2 times? And he's been in the league 2 years? That's actually pretty good compared to how many injuries other players have in multiple seasons. That's an over exaggeration, Igotgame911.

[aspenaspen]

dude...he was out for 1 year that was like half his carrier , and i belive his over rated my man bynum is playing alot better

[SmoothMM]

A year is a long time. His career is still progressing, so he still has time to develop. I think I have an idea of how difficult it is to play professional basketball as a rookie learning the ropes, not to mention from an injury. And yes, Bynum is better than Oden, but Bynum has also had his share of troubles as well. Right when Bynum gets ready to peak, he has gotten injured and has had to start over. He has the potential and skill but his injuries and mentality from them are crucial.

[Melo15xSTAT1]

bynum is soft.

[FREEDOM23100]

maybe so but bynum had kreme abdul jabar helping him improve and at one point kobe wanted him traded for jason kidd , he got better , greg oden i reckon will get betta dis yr , but no one is fuking wid dwight howard

[thegame0484]

his carrier?

[jesi1417]

haha poor oden.!

[lolo2000bm]

i remember the days when shaq could actually jump with a great verticle, now it just seems his inching off plus his great height.

[dahomies85]

even @ age 37 he's STILL a man among boys down in the paint

SIT DOWN, MR. ODEN lol

[PatriotPrideBoy]

OWNED!

[ken62804]

blazers fans were so cocky in the beginning of season talking shit bout oden dominating... and taking howard's or shaq's place... that nigga is bigger and quicker than yao and yao shits on him. shitty blazers fans are dumbasses. this dude will never walk in shaq's, howard's, or yao's steps

[vousallezvous]

he will become an All-Star within two years.

[iMPERiOUS]

lol fucking delusional oden fans

oden sucks ass

he's got nothing

and i do miss shaq in his old days with his 32" vertical.

it's funny how some people think shaq got fat and slow..

it's not fat.. he buffed up for his center position, and dominated that way, he gave up his 32" vertical for that in-the-paint dominance

[Mq404]

LOL delusional Shaq fans.. Happy with a good individual performance, even though they lost and will be watching the playoffs!

[jazza32]

sad portland fans had to sit and watch durant dominate the last two seasons while old man oden sits in a suit GREAT PICK UP!

[Mq404]

lol oh yeah Durant is dominating.. its sooooooo sad for us. funny part is, with how much time Oden sits in a suit.. and how much Durant is dominating.. Oden still has more wins in the nba than Durant. I think we're ok thanks for worrying though. ;)

[fourfootthug]

you tell em Mq404. we didnt need durant because we got scorers in B. Roy and Aldridge and Rudy and Webster. What we need is a big man that will man that post for us in the future. Can Durant x out big men and post up centers? No, he cant even bench 185!

[itowedin]

Blake, Roy, Durant, Aldridge and Pryzbilla beat the Houston Rockets and get out of the first round. Nuff said.

[Mq404]

Sweet... where do we hang the banners for semi finals appearances? That would be one awesome ceremony.. I could just imagine the goosebumps as I'm in the Rose Garden and the banner is unveiled... I'm getting chills already. dipwit

[BTAKVE]

not only that Shaq has had those back problems started his later seasons with the lakers from people jumping on his back and hard fouls refs refused to call half the time claiming he was to big and dominant when a foul is a foul. Without that he would still be jumping and dunking all over people---- he still is he is just not as quick and explosive because of that.

[lowbon9]

noobie oden, so disappointed with him

[BOX5]

Too big too strong for any center still.

[cts1236]

OWNED noob oden
