On the GOAT Discuss podcast, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal was requested by his son, Myles, who the worst participant in NBA historical past was. With out hesitation, Shaq replied, “Rudy Gobert.”
“If you happen to signal a contract for [$250 million], present me you’re 250. There’s a purpose why I stroll humorous and why I can’t flip my neck and why I can’t do it as a result of I performed for my [$120 million]. So you bought guys like him that f— the system over and so they’re making all this cash and so they can’t f—ing play. So I don’t respect guys like that.”
Rudy Gobert took to social media to reply.
It’s unhappy to see somebody that has completed as a lot as you probably did @SHAQ each in sport and enterprise nonetheless be triggered by one other man’s funds and accomplishments. I get the leisure half however in contrast to folks, you don’t want that stuff to remain related. https://t.co/KPHs2VmfIb

Shaq doesn’t have a leg to face on in saying Gobert “can’t play.”
Again in 2002, Shaq postponed surgical procedure for 3 months (or the size of the offseason), calling it “indecision.” He ended up lacking the primary few weeks of the common season.
In actuality, it was a choice in order that O’Neal may save himself for the playoffs.
Perhaps he simply would not keep in mind that. I’m positive Doug Christie does. After the Kings and Lakers feuded on and off the courtroom, Shaq got here out in a press convention after the surgical procedure and mentioned his foot felt effective as a result of “I had Doug Christie’s spouse therapeutic massage it for me earlier than coming over right here.”
I’ll admit, upon listening to that Contained in the NBA was ending, I assumed Charles Barkley was the mouth I might not miss. I used to be mistaken.
