Shaquille O’Neal Says Steph Curry Is His Favorite Player: “I Like Him Because It’s Something That I Haven’t Seen Before.”

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the best big men to ever play the game of basketball. Today, as an analyst, he is often the first to speak on things like interior defense, post play, and the performance of modern-day centers.

But when it comes to picking his favorite player, Shaq named 6-3 point guard Steph Curry. Here’s the reason why:

“I like him because it’s something that I haven’t seen before. A lot of times, when I try to compare the new era and the old era, people say I’m hating. I’ve never seen anything like Steph, and that’s why he’s my favorite player,” Shaq said on TNT.

Steph is a guy that changed the game of basketball in a huge way. A 6x All-Star, 2x MVP, 3x Champion, and a title as the best shooter in NBA history, Curry helped bridge the gap between the era of bigs to the era of point guards and the revitalization of the three-point shot.

Nobody’s seen anything like him before, which explains why he’s become such a polarizing figure.

At 32-years-old, the only question now is what more we can expect to see from the Baby-Faced assassin. All we can do at this point is just sit back and watch it all play out in front of our eyes…
