Jermaine O'Neal Full Highlights 2005.01.04 vs Bucks - Career-High 55 Pts! 

O'Neal checking himself out of the game to preserve Reggie's 57 point Pacers franchise record showed ultimate respect to his idol and it was one of the classiest moves I've ever witnessed on a basketball court. The Fieldhouse was deafening loud and we all knew why he checked out and we loved Jermaine even more for it. Absolute chills. There wasn't a dry eye in that arena. This video doesn't do it justice on how loud it was. It vibrated my chest cavity it was so loud. 15 years later and I still get chills to this day like I'm seeing it for the first time. Edit: That announcer had absolutely no idea what he was talking about lol.

I'm from Indiana, I'm old and have been a Pacer fan since I understood basketball since about 1982 when I was 6 years old. I watched this game, Jermaine left the game on purpose in honor of our greatest player ever, Reggie. I know you probably don't care, I just want people to know who Jermaine was in his heart.

I remember I had NBA Live 03 and I had the pacers and traded for Ben Wallace those 2 are often forgotten as two of the best defensive forces the game saw

He was a BEAST

Please do not forget he was candidate MVP

For a good 5 years, Jermaine O'Neal was the East's best big man, i was big fan of his game

🐐

This was a couple games after his suspension cause of the Malice in the Palace

T.j Warren just got 53. First 50 since this.

Rasheed Wallace vs Jermaine O'Neal... Never made up my mind.

This guy did an okay job against the clippers in the 1st round when bogut was injured,,but it’s 2018 and now we got boogie so it’s litttt

Isn’t he playing in the big 3 now?

What ever happened to him this year and the year after he was an animal and it's like he just fades away

I wish every player stayed with the team they peaked with....O'Neal in Indiana....TMac in Orlando Dwight in Orlando Isaiah Boston 😓😓

❤

he was anthony davis before anthony davis

The man who ruined MJ's perfect game winner
