The Shaq story is wild, but it’s even more confusing that Tom Brady and Bob Odenkirk have a podcast???

[–] Level-Infiniti@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

wonder what he was in boston 😭

Shaq is such a Fat

If anyone wants to be a Fat, they should aspire to be like Shaq honestly

I’d like to see Draymond Green or Looney try to guard the 3peat Shaq

What an absolute unit holy fuck.

Is that Saul Goodman?

[–] thumbtwiddlerguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been telling people for years that there is zero chance this NBA players are at their listed weight .. yall think Giannis is 240? KD is listed at 240 .. Giannis is pushing 280.

Draymond got Shaq 😂

[–] DoomdUser@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve been saying this for years, but it’s awesome to hear him finally admit it. His final weight is listed at 325, which is an absolute fucking joke if you see what he looked like when he was on the Celtics. If he was 415 in LA, when he still also had a lot of muscle tone, he must have been upwards of 475 on the Celtics.

An absolute freak of a human to be able to play professional basketball at that size, even if it wasn’t very good.

He didn’t look 415.

[–] OldKingRob@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

His weight changes every time he talks about it.

10 years from now he’s gonna be telling kids he was 500lbs

Dude is like me.

[–] Galick-Gunner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shaqs dad also worked at Nintendo

[–] Turon26@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

350+ is crazy. That's why he was unmoveable.

[–] PalsRUs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's hard to believe at 415, but if you think about Zion for example being at 285, closer to 300 at times if not more... Shaq is a lot taller and arguably thicker at his size as well.

What an absolute freak to move as well as he did at that weight. That's once-in-a-generation genetics for that profile.

I think Embiid is another one of those guys that's drastically understating his weight. He's listed at 280, I think it's at least around 320.

[–] Amazing-Donut-8852@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zion must be ‘round three fiddy

[–] resident_hater@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is that JIM GRAY?

Fuck Jim Gray.

[–] OriginalCrawnick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I pulled my SI joint trying to dead lift Shaq's highest weight to the very digit.

[–] SamURLJackson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I remember 380 and 390 were tossed around at the time as speculation for his weight. There is no way he was only 315 at that point because he was noticeably huge in the last two years at LA, even for him.

Shaq had a lot of feet and toe problems in LA. He just kept adding more weight

[–] Scotyknows@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ive always thought NBA weights were BS, i know so many 5ft 10 guys who are like 230-300. you wanna tell me Joel Embiid weights 280 at 7ft. FOH he is like 350 at least!

[–] ShakesbeerMe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Knocking off that 100 pounds like Trump in his physical.

[–] 2tep@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks Giannis is 240lbs.

[–] dragonrider5555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Who the hell would ever listen to a podcast with the dude on the bottom lol

[–] Old-Albatross-7684@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shaq donated that scale to an ex-pres for his weigh-in in Georgia.

Man, just imagine a 415lb guy running it down the lane and you are tasked with guarding him……. That shit is terrifying

[–] ImSleepBro@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zion definitely over 315

[–] _TheEndGame@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

415 soaking wet probably.

[–] Jniuzz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Looking at his longevity.. i believe him

[–] TheDiceMan2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i mean look i’m no doctor but i’m 6’3” and i carry my weight very well, people always underguess by 20-30 pounds. when i was a senior in high school i got up to about 290 pounds and i would have looked tiny next to a lot of guys in the NBA and/or NFL. of course that’s obvious to say but the point is- the official weights that are listed are wildly inaccurate. if you’re 7’2” and ripped with muscle, you could easily be on the fourth floor and still running around competing at the highest levels of athletics, assuming you were regularly training to do that. when i see some of these weights listed, and especially with these NBA guys who are so, so tall, it’s laughable to think about that weight compared to my weight at my heaviest.

shaq has a full foot on me and he only weighed 25 more pounds when he was in his prime and won the first championship? an elite athlete working out and working with a training team, etc etc. there’s no way.

Why does Tom Brady’s nose look different? Worse, imo

[–] ManassaxMauler@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, there are some people out there who are just big in a way that's difficult to comprehend.

I have a buddy who played football all his life. Only 6'3 or so. He told me he was around 320 and it just didn't make sense to me. He had a bit of a gut, sure, but I was still surprised. I figured maybe 280. His arms are absolutely massive and he's somehow incredibly agile.

[–] Tw1987@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The thing that makes this more remarkable is that mark Malone looked just as big as Shaq but All muscle in 2004 when they were near each other.

[–] strykrpinoy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If Shaq had stayed at his weight when they won their first Chip, the Lakers would of 3 peated twice at least. This is why Shaq admits later that Kobe was right to be angry at him and it was his pride that broke them up.

[–] dBlock845@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He was a big dude but idk if he was 415 until he got to the Celtics lol.
