Shaquille O’Neal has been one of Kyrie Irving’s biggest critics given all the decisions the point guard has made in recent years.
That’s why many people believed Shaq called out Irving after he shared a video of Kendrick Perkins going off on Kyrie on live TV.

Perk went on a lengthy rant against Kyrie, calling him out for making bad decisions during his career and never owning them.
“When it comes to his basketball knowledge, when it comes to his decision making, he’s horrible,” Perkins said on NBA Today. “Let’s go all the way back to his time in Cleveland. You’re in Cleveland with LeBron James. You went to multiple finals. You won a championship there, and you forced your way out. Now, all of a sudden, you get to Boston. You promise the Celtics fans that you’re gonna be there. You had an opportunity to grow and play with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. You bounced on them.
Perkins also recalled that Kyrie did everything he wanted in Brooklyn to be happy only to bail on them this season. The 2008 NBA champion wondered what was going on in Kyrie’s mind and what his real plans were.
“What does Kyrie want for his legacy?” Perkins asked. “What is Kyrie’s agenda? Those are the questions that I want to know. And the confusing part is that you have been in these situations where you could’ve capitalized on them. But Kyrie Irving, the smart guy that’s smarter than everybody else in the world when it comes to making decisions and we don’t understand him and things of that nature, he doesn’t understand himself.”
Did Kyrie call Dallas a “cluster f*ck”? How Ironic. From forcing his way out of Cleveland, Boston and Brooklyn, if Dallas is what he describes it as, they are a perfect match! Carry on… pic.twitter.com/zkpJ41QpNQ

This is only another proof that Kyrie isn’t the most beloved player in the league right now, and as the days go by, more people jump on that train of criticism.
Shaquille O’Neal Has A Long History Criticizing Kyrie Irving
While Shaq does not always agree with the things he shares on social media, it’s easy to see why people think he was directly attacking Kyrie.
For instance, O’Neal blamed Kyrie for the failed Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3, naming him the biggest reason why things fell apart at Barclays Arena.
He previously called Irving an idiot, so you know this isn’t a good relationship at all. Kyrie has gotten used to receiving criticism, but the hate is at an all-time high right now, and that won’t stop anytime soon.
