Forget that, if he worked harder and had a Mamba mentality Kobe said heโ€™d be the greatest of all time. Kobe was so upset at the fact that Shaq let his size and talent go to waste.

Shaq is the OG Cam Newton, if both worked on there craft like Jordan, Kobe, Bird, Tom Brady, Payton Manning, Shaq would of been unstoppable, and yes 10 Championships, he couldnt be bothered enough to work on his Free throws...

Look, people always try to say Shaquille O'Neal ainโ€™t work hard, but thatโ€™s lowkey crazy because you donโ€™t become a 4-time champion, MVP, Finals MVP, Hall of Famer, and the most physically unstoppable force the league ever seen by just chilling on the couch eating burgers all day, like yeah Shaq himself admitted he wasnโ€™t obsessed with basketball 24/7 like Kobe Bryant and didnโ€™t wanna kill his body in practice after already getting hacked, shoved, elbowed, and jumped by 7-footers every night, but people forget this man still played through pain, carried entire teams, dominated double and triple teams, averaged monster numbers for years, stayed powerful enough to bully grown men off the court, adjusted his game as he got older, put fear into defenses the second he stepped in the paint, showed up huge in the Finals, made teammates better just off attention alone, and had defenders looking like little kids trying to stop a freight train with a backpack on, so when Shaq says โ€œwhy work harder when nobody can stop me anyway,โ€ it sounds funny but lowkey makes sense because even without the psycho Kobe mentality he still became one of the greatest and most dominant athletes ever, which honestly is what makes prime Shaq so terrifying because the dude was basically playing basketball like a final boss on casual mode and still breaking the game. ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ

You can't dominate the NBA without working hard.

Let me put it this way, Derrick Coleman and Shaqs work ethic was comparable.

What they don't understand is Shaq's size. Just not built to last on high octane that long.

They made "hack a shaq" because you didn't work on your free throw

If he would of stayed in the weight room and kept cardio he'd be the best thing ever to play in the nba

Just cause he not going hard in practice donโ€™t mean heโ€™s not working hard in the gym

Anyone whoโ€™s played sports can actually understand this. You donโ€™t want to be all fucked up from practice and then have to play an actual game.

Shaq was fine as is, he worked plenty hard. Dude was jacked, no one could stop the Diesel physically.
