Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most dominating players ever played in the NBA, and he feels no modern-day player is as dominant as he was. Shaq appeared on the Players Choice podcast, saying, “To me, dominance is when people have to change the rules. I love all the players they got now, but I wouldn’t use the word dominant.” Shaq famously made the NBA allow zone defense to stop Shaquille O’Neal from dominating the paint so much in the 1990s.
“I get kinda upset when you guys throw the word dominant around. I did what I did with three or four people on me every night,” said Shaq. The Big Diesel was known for his unstoppable post-game and dunking on everyone who tried to guard him. Shaq famously dunked over 4 of the 5 New Jersey Nets players in the early 200s which is a testament to how un-guardable he was
“Dominant to me is ‘we got three guys on this guy, and we can’t stop him’…’Oh, he can’t shoot free throws? We gonna let the world know before the game starts we gonna foul him‘,” said Shaq. The 4x NBA Champion was a historically bad free throw shooter as ‘Hack-a-Shaq.’ O’Neal feels dominance in his era was at a different level but still appreciates modern big men like Giannis Antetokounmpo.
