I was not familiar with your game

Phrase use by Shaquille O’Neal to describe a current NBA player who he did not believe was as good. However the player proved him wrong. In a post-game interview Shaq told the player “I owe you an apology. I was not really familiar with your game”.

Since then it became viral as a meme and used in different contexts by someone who acknowledges a person or group that surprised them with a set of skills, abilities, or their character and opinions etc.
Actor ABC shows incredible skills when playing a certain character.
