Shaq’s GOAT comments SPARK INTENSE DEBATE by Mad Dog 😂 🐐 | First Take 

Mad dog woke up and choose madness 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shaq not top 5 center is actually absurd 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stephen A had me dying when he screamed “WHAT?!” After dawg said Moses Malone is better than Shaq 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 6:25

Mad Dog the ultimate "back in my day" dude 😂

I love how this turned into a Shaq debate 😆

Stephan A calling his colleagues arguments “soliloquies” is the best roast and never gets old 😂

"LOOK AT ME STEPHEN!" they all knew that was HILARIOUS 😂

The funniest part was at the end when Mad Dog says going into commercial break I don't even have Shaq in my Top 10. 😂😂

LMAO I LOST IT WHEN JAY STARTED PRAYING 😂

One thing I love about Mad Dog, he gone ride for the OGs😂

Mad Dog was BREWING when Stephen A was talking 😂😂I love how he defends the older generation. That’s how I’ll be defending Steph and this generation in 30 years haha

5:25 "AHHHOOOoo imnotgivingittowilt, IM NOT GIVING IT TO WILT!" 😂😂😂😂😂

5:08 😂 the transition from considering Stephen Curry on Mount Rushmore to somehow Shaquille O'Neal is fifth all time is absolutely hilarious and JWill and Steve had no idea what to do for a second

Stephen and Mad Dog screaming at each other while Jay prays in the middle is the funniest thing i’ve seen on First Take 😂😂😭

Broooo these reactions from Stephen A and Jay to Mad Dog comments has me literally dyinggggg😂😂😂😂😂😂

7:29 “look at me, Stephen!!” Dude woke up violent, i can’t 😂

Doggy did that take for the entertainment of the show and it was brilliant hahahha

Seeing Stephen A get this animated was hilarious. He actually seemed to be being himself as opposed to a TV persona 😂😂

Mad Dog going full Joker with that “look at me, Stephen!” 😭😭

5:05 brought back vintage sport show vibes. The animation of both Stephen A and Jay was priceless. In fairness, I would have been the same when Mad Dog said Shaq ain't a top 5 center. I am for the drama, though, and I love that Mad Dog is on the show. He adds a great element to First Take.

This was hilarious once mad dog started talking! Had Jay Williams praying 🙏🏾 😂

I can’t wait for Shaq to respond to this, it’ll be pure entertainment 😂.

LOOOK AT ME STEPHEN!!! 😂😂😂 Mad Dogg was on one today

Mad dog is freaking hilarious 😂

5:44 the way they paused and J will started scratching his head when they name dropped Tim Duncan is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂 . I’m glad Tim gets his due respect

Man when Mad Dog said Moses Malone was better than Shaq….the look of Stephen A’s and Jay Will facial expressions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Man, I love the craziness in these arguments 😂 plus the genuine reactions too 😅

The fact that he mentioned a Power Forward in the center conversation says it all

“LOOK AT ME…STEPHEN!” Lmfao!

You can see Mad Dog’s face the entire time Jay Will and Steven A are talking. He was sooooooooo READY!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is the funniest segment I've seen with this crew so far. Quality entertainment right here.

7:28 this is like the parody version of Skip & Shannon’s “PUT YOUR GLASSES BACK ON!” Moment 😂😂😂

“He needs help Lord” - Jay Will 😂😂😂😂😂😂

6:38 JWill praying killed me 😂😂😂

Had them stuttering at Tim “Duncan’s better” lmao

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 When Madd on the show, we grab 🍿

People absolutely forgot how dominant Shaq was. There was simply no answer to him in his prime. 3 straight chips to prove it

The 2 screaming at each other and Jay praying in the middle💀💀💀💀

5:42 The transition to the Shaq graphic was some beautiful directing work fr 👏🏾😮‍💨

LOOK AT ME STEPHEN!!!!🤣🤣🤣he pulled out the dad card.

I love Jay Williams on First Take. He gives push back to Stephen A and it makes the show really good

Tim Duncan reaction was priceless. Even tho he a PF. Just their reaction is hilarious 😂🤣

Stephen A reminded me of lil john @6:28😂 had me crying laughing 😭

He took me tf out when he started praying 😂😂😂

I never get tired of this GOAT conversation lmao

Loved this. Absolutely amazing. This was like old school sports talk radio. Loved Stephen A and Jay Wills reaction priceless. 😂

I've said it over and over. Mike, Lebron, Kareem are in the goat conversation. Kobe and Steph both deserve to be considered and in the conversation. No one is saying they are better or the greatest. But they have certain accolades and abilities that warrant them being considered. I don't know why this triggers people so hard.

The argument they used against Wilt Chamberlain and the level of competition is the same argument Mad Dawg brought up about Shaq and the centers he played against in the finals and SAS & J.Will said it didn’t matter

Between the Draymond comments and now this, Shaq is making sure people don’t forget his name and Mad Dog wants in the action 😂

Mad Dog has such big "Back in my Day" energy, it's ridiculous.

this conversation deadass took a 90 degree left turn😭😭😭

When J. Will started praying 😂😂😂😂

This man had Jwill praying for his soul😂😂😂😂😂😂

I appreciate Mad Dogs contributions because he forces the newer heads to do their homework. He’s a lunatic with his takes but he’s necessary to the discussion

J Will praying had me dying😂😂😂

This is hilarious man😂😂😂

I’m dying over here listening to Doggie. 😂 I don’t agree with him at all, but I’m soo glad he’s on the show. Hi-larious!

Mad Dog is WILD with that take! 😂

yo this segment had me rolling bruh 🤣🤣🤣

The facial expressions changes are hilarious

You can never get tired of mad dog takes 😂😂😂😂

6:50 lmaooooo he was praying 🙏🏼

This will go down as a classic debate

5:09 the way both of their faces dropped 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I felt that “WHAT!??“ 😭😭

Hakeem absolutely was better than Shaq as a center. He was simply far more skilled in every way, and also more athletic, just not as physically large and powerful. Hakeem won fewer rings because Jordan was taking the rings in his era, there were more Hall of Fame Centers to compete with in that era, and Hakeem also had far less help than Shaq had on his teams. Hakeem would only be second to Kareem possibly in a head on match up, and Hakeem would fit the modern game better than any other HoF center of the past. In the modern era, Shaq would still be missing all his free throws while the other team drains 3s all day in return.

I mean Shaq just opened the discussion, I don’t think he was saying for certain that Steph is the GOAT. I’m not sure why it’s so controversial that he said that. It all comes down to what you value and what your criteria is. Steph Curry changed the game and is a supernova offensive force that game has never seen before. It’s not crazy to say what Shaq said

I love how doggy is absolutely destroying this segment with these ridiculous takes

Stephen looks like an older version of Ludacris 😂😂😂😂

Great show

He's in his mid 30's, a dedicated family man, multiple championships, MVP's, and he's still out here carrying the warriors on his back and balling out pretty much every night. The undisputed greatest shooter ever, but also one of the best finishers, and I think the deadliest off-ball player of all time

The way Steven a and jwill activated against mad dog I’m with them

By far... the greatest Mad Dog take of all time. I've been watching this for days now... LOLLLLLLLLL

When you stop mid conversation and begin to pray to the LAWD for help!!!!!! LOLOLOL

When he said Moses Malone I legit could not breathe 🤣🤣🤣😄😂😃

The moment Mad Dog said Shaq aint top 5 and i looked at SA’s and Jay’s faces i LOST IT😭😭😭😭😭

5:11 6:28 Lmfaooo man i'm weak

Mad Dogg is like a dr. Seuss character looking to stir the pot

Steph curry 3 is the single most devastating offensive weapon in sports history...

Mad Dog is incredible! Dropped the hottest basketball take of 2023 and didn't back down. Had them on their hind legs. Magical.

We all got an early Christmas present with this debate. This is the best gift ESPN can give to us

Best thing Molly ever said I GOTTA GO 😭💀

J Will praying was just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️

JAY PRAYING HAD ME DYING LMAOOOOOOOOOO

Even though I don’t agree with Mad Dog, I love that he brings history back & he’s not a yes man

“That was quicker” 😂😂😭

I do agree that Hakeem before his back injury was better than any Shaq era. People forget that Hakeem is the reason positionless basketball exist. When all the starter line up was out in a playoff series, Hakeem played all 5 roles and carried the team on his back. Hakeem was destroying David Robinson and Shaq everytime they met up that same season. Hakeem was maybe the only center pulling up from 15, 20,30, and 35 in that era. He is also the one who taught kobe and mike his footwork after kobe tweaked his ankle, he taught him the dreamshake and his post moves and set ups, when mike got older and lost athletism in him his late chicago years, him and Hakeem spent a summer together training. Michael Jordan also said Hakeem and Vernon Maxwell are the only 2 NBA players he had a hard time with, came out his own mouth.

Mad Dog about to talk about all those 70's and 80's players I bet!

Dude is pulling any name he remembers from the 70s and 80s when he was a middle aged man. Just wild!

In my Stephen A voice: "Mad Dog, stay off the weeeeeeeeeeedddddddd!!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This was so fun to watch! 🔥🔥🔥

This was pure comedy when Mad Dog started talking. LMAO.

Mad Dog had the best take on this segment just off of personality alone! Love me some Doggie 🐶😂

6:28 ahahahahaa SAS reaction was priceless

This whole segment is gold!!!

This man don’t talk about nobody who played past 1985 😂😂😂😂

Mad Dog makes me laugh seriously . Dudes from another planet, you gotta love it😂p

I can’t put him in a conversation without the sustained playoff dominance. Definitely top 10 and could work his way down.

I lost it when he said Moses Malone is better than Shaq 🤣🤣🤣

Glad to have the nation see Doggie's personality and takes. He was a joy to listen to on Mike & The Mad Dog in the 90s and 00s.
