Yao was figuring out when that happened 😭

Shaq: "You speak english?!" Yao: "I've already said too much."

Yao actually said " what's good my nigga "

So they’re basically 7 foot versions of Detectives Lee and Carter😂

Story so original even Yao heard it for the first time.

their era was just amazing NBA years.

Shaq: “I remember when I met the first Egyptian pharaoh back in 3,200 BCE.”

I’m from Houston and Yao had a translator for his first two years. The third year he didn’t need him anymore. Shag is correct...

Yao thinking where tf he said that💀💀💀

We all know Yao really said "thanks mah nigga"

Yao is so humble and polite

Yao thinking in his mind like “Brotha this never happened”😂

Real live Rush Hour 😂

Yao was like : Wait thats not what i said what i said was *THANKS MAH NIG*A*

You can tell just from Yao’s reactions that he’s a good and humble dude.

Yao Ming was freak'n awesome. He did not disappoint when he entered the league.

Yao is over there like as if he's listening to the story first time as well

this was an amazing story. Yao himself was amazed himself as he was hearing this for the first time!

“So he hit me with a hakeem olajuwon Bing Bing fadeaway.” 💀💀💀

Yao was a household name. Such a skillful big man. Great player.

you can tell from Ming's reactions that Shaquille made up the story

Yao Ming be like: “I don’t remember that happened”

Imagine sitting behind Yao in a movie theater

Shaq is a Real good Story teller.. Wenn He talks, you can hear other persons in the Story either..God bless him..

Yao's face is saying, "That never happened."

Shaq is a class act - everyone should have a friend like him...

The Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker of basketball. “Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth!?”

This is like a Chris tucker and Jackie Chan moment in the first rush hour! ❤😂

“He really like my favourite convenience store 7/11” 😂😂😂 Epic Edit: oh my lord I leave 2 weeks and this happens damn

Shaq: You speak English? Yao: I didn't say I didn't. You assumed I didn't.

yao without injuries was magical. he was so amazing and humble. id love to hug at least half of the fucking guy

You know your a goat when Shaq shows love

My father has always said that it’s the quiet ones that you have to be careful. 🤣🤣

Yao was sitting there like… “This is the first time I’m hearing this story!” 😂

I got to escort Yao to his hotel room when I worked security downtown Houston. Guy was literally hunched over in the elevator 😂😂.

Shaq sure knows how to tell a story.

Yao's picture of laughing will always be my favourite meme.

Yao is like I never said thanks my brother. Lol you can tell the look on his face when Shaquille said that.

I love hearing Shaq give tributes or tell stories. He is a natural comedian. Even on as sad a the day of Kobe Bryant's memorial at the stadium and various people were giving tributes, he had the audience in stitches over Kobe's past antics. He also recounted a funny story about Stevie Wonder not really being blind due to an encounter in a hotel elevator. He is a natural storyteller and so hilarious!

You can tell Yao is a legit down to earth humble man . 💯👍🏾👍🏾

Yao is so underrated

Yao was like, when the fvck was this conversation? 😂

Both of these guys are great. THESE are the kinds of athletes young kids should look up to, figuratively and of course literally.

“He tricked me” 😭😭😭

I remember back then Shaq was also a super petty insecure a*****e about Yao Ming, including the infamous "ching chong" quote, and how Yao was so graceful and mature in handling it. He just kept his head down...and simply blocked three of Shaq's shots in a row and scored on him again and again. Classy badass.

These two are so humble

One of many legends in the basketball world.

Man, Imagine Yao without injuries😓 He would be a Top 10 Center Ever💯

Yao is top 3 most beloved players in NBA history ! I don’t know how can u hate him ..

I missed those days Yao was a beast

Shaq is one of NBA’s greatest not because of his size or play quality, but because of his humanity.

This was hysterical! Matumbo behind him losing it. Nice to see Matumbo laughing before he got sick with the brain tumor.

impossible not to love Shaq

Yao was so underated, but this brother could play! Very gifted player and great footwork for a man his size!!

Those Yao/Shaq games were lit! Wish him and T-Mac stayed healthy for a few years, could’ve given the league a run for their money.

Shaq is a so good story teller, even you know that its a lie you never wanna spoil the moment :D

The gentle giant! As a Rockets 🚀 fan he was my favorite player to watch during his tenure with Houston alongside Tracy McGrady. Great memories!

How do you not love Shaq and Yao ❤🎉

Shaq & Yao gotta make a movie together 😂

Yao was starting to get his game on point before the injuries. I wish we could've seen the full potential of what he was clearly becoming

Yao: “I ain’t fucking say that shit” 😂

Humble Dr. Shaq .. keeping it real!

Both really great human beings :)

Last traces of professionals who respected each other humbled and encouraged loved both

Even Yao was hearing this story for the first time 😂

Shaq is very funny. I love all his speeches and jokes.

I love SHAQ. He is a very CLASSY GUY! THANKNYOU FOR BEING SO COOL SHAQ.

This is Yao’s first time hearing it too 😂

hit em with that rush hour move

Shaq is like a stand-up comedian. A fkn massive stand-up comedian.

Yao: I don't speak English. I just taught you how to properly speak Chinese...

Shaq: Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? Yao: fo' shizzle my shaqizzle

“Yao Ming was the first to block my shot three times in a row” Yao really was that guy

That’s why I should never judge a book by its cover

yao was like"uggghhhh i did say that didnt I"

Yao is hearing this for the first time like the rest of the audience 😂

Such a great player. RIP Yao Ming

I love Shaq He's genuine!

Yao in his mind "that's my nigga"

Yao probably's thinking 狗屁 😂

Both Shaq and Yao are CLASS acts!

Shaq is funny...as any stand-up commedian telling this story at the same time showing his respect and appreciation for Yao Ming!

There will never be another SHAQUILLE. He is a hell of a human being.

Yao be like “when did that happen..?”

Snoop and Shaq, the GOATS at rewriting history.

Shaq and Yao should have a cameo in the last rush hour movie, it’d be a great IMO

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? 🤣🤣🤣 Deja Vu of Rush Hour

Thank God. You led me to study English, and I ended up understanding Shaq's sense of humor.😂

Shaq is a national treasure

Shaq is so funny and awesome to listen to he always has the best stories. A true champion. I miss seeing him play. He has a good heart.

the Hakeem Olajuwon bing bing fadeaway killed me😂

Yao was the real deal.

Lmaoo that’s exactly how rush hour started when Carter didn’t think Lee spoke English

Mutumbo dying in the background on the 7/11 joke😂

Shaq has such a good heart💝

"If i dont speak, it doesnt mean i cant" -jackie chan

Man I’m still disappointed Yao couldn’t stay healthy. Dude was a beast and loved watching him play.

Love Shaq he's soo good in his heart

Yao sitting there like he hearing this for the fist time 😂

“he tricked me” **beat drops**
