He's bad at basketball. He's a million feet tall and just led his team to a loss to the shortest team in the tournament. He's very very bad.

Large? Yes. Good? Absolutely not.

That's an insane comment. Your reaction to a team losing is to blame the guy who had the best game. Not his crappy teammates. Not his garbage coach.

I'm guessing that every time the Bucks lose, you blame Giannis.

What's the market in the nba for a big man who can't shoot the three ?

Shaq wouldn't cut it in todays nba but does that make him a bad basketball player ?

I'm not so sure about that.  It's not like Edey is comparable to Shaq.

There has been some brutal coaching the last 2 days. Hard to say who is worse.

Gotta be Painter or Bennett. Two overrated slugs. Both have made a habit out of losing to 13-16 seeded teams. Upsets can happen. When it becomes a habit, it is all on the coach.

Maybe some team can hire Bennett and Painter as co-coaches. Then hire Brad Underwood, Wojo, and the corpse of Bob Dukiet as assistants.

Shaw would be a star in today's NBA.

Shaq would absolutely cut it in today's NBA because he was good at basketball. Zach Edey is not. This conversation has nothing to do with shooting 3 pointers.

With the skill set in the early 2000's back to the basket banger? I don't think so.

Comparing Zach Edey to Shaq while simultaneously asserting that Shaq wouldn't cut it in todays NBA.

Holy L takes... the only better take I've seen so far is comparing Giannis to Edey lol.

You said edey is a bad college basketball player because he won't play in the nba. That's categorically false. If it was 1998, he'd be a top 3 draft pick.

But the nba game has changed and his dominant back to the basket skill set doesn't translate to the space and pace nature of todays nba.

I don't think you're getting it. Zach Edey doesn't have a very good back to the basket skill set. Shaq had possibly one of the best in basketball history (with Kareem, Wilt, Duncan - although Duncan could also play at the elbow extended).

If he did, he'd be valuable in today's NBA. Do you get it now?

Unofficial stat here, but Kent State is 2/457 on layups tonight.

30 year old huge Laker Shaq? Probably not.  But watch his LSU and Magic highlights.  The way he ran the floor, his agility, his footwork, his quickness for his size...he'd still be an animal

Shaka has had a ton of flameouts in the tourney.  And if MU loses to Joey Hauser, it will be another.

I totally agree with that. College Shaq was a completely different player than his laker days. The reason I brought it up and am chuckling now is that 12ish year old me and my friends would debate on who was the alpha on the lakers, Kobe or Shaq. The weak counterpoint against Shaq would always be "he's just bigger and stronger than everyone else. All he does is dunk." Which is essentially the edey argument. And I don't think anyone would call 2001 Shaq bad at basketball, just big.

Shaq was a lot of fun to watch during his time at LSU. He ran the court, ton of dunks and very athletic, especially for his size. His game changed over time but he was a very athletic big guy and loved to bring the ball up the court.

Agree goose - he was a totally different player earlier in his career.

Do you remember buying your kids the Shaq action figure ?
