Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players to have ever played the game, having won four NBA titles, three Finals MVPs, and an MVP to go with his other numerous accolades.
Thanks to all that he achieved, Shaq is incredibly confident of his own abilities and says his superteam with Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo would sweep one that has Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, and Tim Duncan on it.
NBA fans had a mixed reaction to Shaq’s claim.
“They’re not winning a game . The top is sweeping.” This fan thinks it would indeed be a sweep in favor of O’Neal’s team.
“Bottom wins lmao.” Stated a fan who not only thinks there won’t be a sweep for Shaq’s team, but that the bottom one would win.
“I’m a Jordan fan but the top is loaded and Duncan is out of position. He’ll get destroyed because KD isn’t gonna be much help.” A fan believes Duncan being out of position would ultimately give the edge to Shaq’s team, as Durant won’t be able to provide enough rim protection either.
“Bron and Curry? Shaq and Giannis setting hard screens and then you got Kobe being Kobe? Top list in 4.” A fan thinks the combination of Shaq, LeBron, Curry, and Giannis makes this a sweep for the top team.
“Come on, 7 games, MJ goes off in Game 7, bottom lineup wins.” This fan believes the series will go the distance, with Jordan winning Game 7 for his team.
This would really be a tough series but it isn’t surprising that Shaq is so confident that his team would win. He recently claimed his team of MVPs from the 2000s would beat a team of MVPs from the 1990s, although he did give them two games.
Richard Jefferson Says Shaquille O’Neal Is The Most Dominant Player Ever
Despite everything that he accomplished in his NBA career, it is hardly far-fetched to claim that Shaq underachieved. He could have won so much more if he ever really took serious care of his body and had a better work ethic. When he was at his absolute peak, there was just no way to guard him and Richard Jefferson stated that Shaq is the most dominant player ever.
Jefferson got to face O’Neal in the NBA Finals in 2002 and saw first-hand just how destructive he could be. He explained that teams needed to have multiple big men on their rosters, just to foul Shaq. Jefferson then went on to say that O’Neal’s combination of size, athleticism, skill, and footwork made him unguardable. If Shaq had taken better care of his body and had Kobe’s mentality, he could have potentially gone down as the greatest ever, but it wasn’t to be.
