Shaq on Infamous Game 7 Vs. Portland, Agitating Kobe, His Three Favorite Players, The Big Man Alliance & More

From the Point by Trae Young

On the latest episode of "From the Point by Trae Young," NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal joins host Trae Young, and Young's co-host Winston, for some motivational and legendary media and NBA conversation.

Shaq, a four-time NBA Champion and long-time TV host, starts off the episode by giving the duo some tips about podcasting. Once Shaq’s done teaching, the legendary center best known for stints with the Orlando Magic, LA Lakers, and Miami Heat gives Trae his flowers and talks about his unlimited shooting range. From there, the trio talks about Shaq’s high school career, years at LSU, and the unanimous MVP that got taken away from him by one vote. Shaq also discusses losing his first Finals and the lessons he took from it, critiquing current players from a place of love, the best current NBA big men (shouts to Bol Bol!). Shaq goes on to talk with Trae and Winston about his three favorite guards (Steph Curry, Dame Lillard, and, yes, Trae) and shares some incredible Kobe “pitbull” Bryant stories.
