[jselvrom]

If only he had stayed slim

[Marmalada180]

@jselvrom would have had a longer career

[ruption]

HE LOOKS LIKE GUCCI MANE

[rukidding205]

The interview was good because now, 20 years later, he works with Ernie!!!

[SuperNingerGinger]

paul westheads brother ran a basketball camp i went to this summer, weird, anyway shaq was the best center in the universe, and by center i dont mean like kareem or hakeem with finess and shit, i mean being a tall guy who jumps up and slams the ball in the whoop

[lbj6mj23]

shaq was huge but i think people dont know how c in the 60s and 70s was beter yeah i am talking about wilt not gona name stats just say that he lifted 500 lbs lol

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

PISTOL PETE MARAVICH was the only white harlem globetrotter, and SHAQUILLE O'NEAL was the only white LSU basketball player.

[Bionik1980]

Look at Bill Waltons deformed face at 3:12

[Soccer1296]

who would have guessed that shaq would be on both the teams mentioned in the NBA game going on at the beginning of the vid.

[chikaj1006]

1:35 observe what Shaq looks like! thumbs up if you think we have the same idea.. lol!

[Lockoutsucks]

he was never pat ewing or david...he became much much better than them....he was always shaq!

[ImmaAidan]

nigga huge

[JayVerze]

This nigguh look like gucci mane

[nateplaya88]

steriods? Please its called protein and eating right! I put on 25 pounds in 3 months! Shaq never used no damn steriods!

[nooshooz]

I can't stand Bill Walton.

[Kidz24]

A young Ernie Johnson

[Amin2323tww]

Damn now he weighs more then 100 pounds more

[NewmanCardinal]

Save The Planet

[PeanutButterGtr]

This sports report was broadcast only 6 days before my first birthday...

[TheEaglesfanindc]

i wish shaq dad was the dads of all these 1 and done fucks thats leaving college after 1 year now im a college bball fan the nba is boring to me

[alltradespro]

ehh this guy will never make it in the NBA

[acleex]

Just imagine how Shaq would be like if he stayed that toned!

[jonathanlancer]

Holly shit, Ernie Johnson has been working for TNT for ever lol

[daveskillz91]

i always wondered what's up with bill walton's face

[Mrcabletwitch]

dam how late did shaqtastic hit puberty?

[AlekRoy]

lol @ 1:34 - 1:56

The dad's talking about how important education is. Money is nothing without education etcetc

Shaq just looks so smart, why would he need an education? I mean look at him on the couch.

[DavisThaDoN]

Shaqs dad being tuff on him to make him better ..."Now that shaqs a FAIRLY good basketball player" ...nah hes a beast always was

[SHAQISDANBA]

SHAQUILLE O'NEAL IS THE GREAT CENTER OF ALL-TIME!!!!

[jaredross1]

shaqs dads an asshole

[AFRIKTODAY]

@jaredross1 Idiot! His dad is a great man who understand life you fucker. How many clown went in the league too early and got kicked out after one season or two? You must be ready both physically and mentally to play pro sport. If you are well prepared and ready, money will follow. Too many youngsters only see money and forget about the work that is required to become a successful baller. You are a damn fool!

[AussieHoosier]

so who is better ? wilt chamberlain or shaq?

I know wilts numbers are better but in a 1v1 game at their primes, who would win?

I think chamberlain is somewhat overrated because of how tall he was to everyone else- he didn't even have to jump alot of the time.

Of course shaq is larger than everyone else these days but the competition is much bigger/stronger compared to shaq than they were with wilt.

Don't hate just give your opinion. I'd put shaq slightly ahead of wilt but it's close.

[rawimpact]

@AussieHoosier agreed

[perricida]

Johnson.

[MrTronvas]

most dominant center ever. and those who said he uses steroids are freaking retarted

[jkellybrew]

He ain't the most dominant center ever. Wilt Chamberlain's numbers totally blew O'neal's outta the water.

[shaqpopcorn34]

@jkellybrew ....nahhhh....shaq has shot over 55% for 19 straight seasons.......in every season wilt was scoring champ,he was BELOW 55%......also,teams scored a lot more back then...

wilt= NEVER fouled out of a game

shaq= fouled out of the first game he ever played in...........this isnt shaqs fault....wilt would get the bullshit calls too.....shaq is better than wilt....there is no question about it

[jongib369]

@shaqpopcorn34 your wrong. Unlike shaq, wilt had a better over all offensive game. he could have EASILY done what shaq did, but he shot alot of fade away jumpers to be an all around player. Instead of a one trick turkey just powering through people and dunking.

[shaqpopcorn34]

@jongib369 ...no,im right.....shaq= far more skills than wilt....check the footage..

"shaqs gangsta move on michael jordan"......show me wilt moving like that......

shaq= most skilled player of alltime......just type in "shaq crossover" as well.....show me wilt doing a crossover.......wilt chamberlain footage is a joke.....he would get tossed around like a rag doll by shaq...

wilt= 30.1 ppg in reg.season.....22.5 ppg in playoffs.....when the good teams are left,wilt choked

[royalfrenchfrie24]

holy crap thats ernie johnson

[Deee36]

Ohh no!! Don't let him be tainted with Bill Wlaton...

[theraptorfan100]

Wow. Look at all the hair Ernie Johnson had back then.

[tommybrown2068]

I guess Shaq's greatness was that obvious because everything good those guys had to say 20 years ago has come to pass now. He is the most dominant center ever.

[tincredible]

Man, their 1991 predictions were right on the money!

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

his father taught him right

[BLACKBEAUTY8989]

dang he looks so young!

[reh629]

WHO IS THIS KID!

he has bust written all over him.

he is probably pumping gas right now.

[cedatasu]

wow they call him the shaq instead of just... shaq

[ComaAlpha]

Do you think that Shaq can ever get that skinny again? Man I hope him and LeBron bring Northeast Ohio a championship before LeBron goes to the Knickerbockers next year.

[bustazibit]

many people who have been star player's in LSU are garunteed a spot in NBA. First Pet, Shaq etc

[friskyfixedit]

lol @ ernie

[alonisthebest]

wow bill walton, and luke walton look exactly the same

[MrBennetzen]

How many backboards Shaq broke in college?

[dajeejee]

LOL, didn't Shaq dissed Walton? After he found out how easy the NBA was.

[NinoFresh008]

wow standing ovation for walton, the first logical thought that i ever heard from him

[n000bsaib0t]

Yo shaq got them teeth fixed up real fast!! First NBA check he got some shiners... haha look at that mouth

[tkodawg9]

God bill walton one ugly looking motha fuckah damn!

[downonbarbe]

shaq's stepdad is the father I wish to be....

[shinesthrudarain]

shaq benches 450lbs. did u know that?

[deion152002]

Shaq doesn't lift weights anymore, don't take it from me it was stated by him.

[SFFOOL76]

Is it me does Ernie Johnson look like Larry Brown ? Shaq was beast in his sophomore year, he would have been the #1 pick in 1991.

[spitfirescotty]

iwas born that day wooo

[MisterBinx]

I didn't know Shaq was tought by Walton...Walton can teach Oden.

[PUTS31]

Did he do steroids?????

[oneeye9426]

No. Why is everyone accused of doing steroids nowadays? He worked out and got bigger and stronger. He weighed 260 coming out of high school. A seven foot two inch frame can easily add weight without the use of steroids.

[Pastafarealist]

@oneeye9426 325lb is actually considered "normal" weight for 7'2". The average 7'2" non-athlete(or people who don't exercise at all) is 290-300lb. I think the extra 25lb in muscle isn't a big deal, morons.

[IOYB]

lol at Ernie Johnson

[Ramana02]

ernie johnson has always reminded me of david letterman

[tubenachos]

Oh my goodness Ernie, what's w/ the glasses?!!  Hahahaha

[friskyfixedit]

ernie loves "the shaq"

[sixty9fordkiller]

the tv graphics sucked back then!

[libatako]

LMAO! ITS ERNIE!

[paternagnstuser]

Ernie...wtf is up with the glasses?

[ToobYew]

HELL YEAH!  even SHAQ knows that baseball's BORING!

[jamesbond504]

damn look how ernie looks

[SFFOOL76]

His game against Arizona in 1990-1991 season , sealed the deal as the #1 pick.

[RoXaS9k]

Shaq was thin! OMG! XDDD

[AsphaltAbuse]

He was still 300 lbs too

[joohwanoh]

lol. yea he was still 300 lbs.. and he was still a freak of nature in a good way

[kpagan1970]

Wow, great video.  Classic.

[glavatibabun]

shaq da best

[frnjamanki]

shaquil emperor...my idol

[Knightmare2k6]

LOL IT'S EJ!! (Ernie Johnson)
