Shaquille O’Neal didn’t hold back on his latest NBA rant.
Shaq got fired up recently on The Big Podcast about the modern game. He took his ire out on everyone, but one guy in particular.
Let’s jump right in to Shaq’s comments.
“I’ve seen what greatness is, been there, played with them,” O’Neal began. “I don’t see that all the time over there. So, you want me to give these motherf— the same props you giving them? That s—will never happen. You can call it hate if you want. Even with the word ‘hate,’ like these f—ing kids, they like to throw that word around. If you ain’t f—ing great and I’m great, how the f— can I hate on you? That don’t make no f—ing sense. I’m in the f—ing building, and you not in the building, so how the f— can I hate on you?”
OK, now let’s get more specific, Shaq.
“Joker can play,” he said. “Giannis can play. Dame, a couple of these guys can play, but a lot of these motherf— can’t play. Ben f—ing Simmons, that motherf— needs to be arrested. Jayson Tatum can play. He’s alright. I’m not going to bash him. But Ben Simmons needs to be f—ing arrested. $250 (million for that bulls—? Get the f— out of my face. Robbing people, man. You can’t do that.”

In the smallest of defenses to Simmons, he’s made $203 million in his NBA career, not $250 million.
It’s also some LSU-on-LSU crime here with O’Neal’s hate of Simmons.
But jeez, it might be time for Shaq to settle down. The modern NBA has more skill and talent than at any time in the league’s history. The legends of the past just aren’t great at accepting that.
