In an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Complex', Shaquille O'Neal was asked about the worst player in NBA history. The legendary center from Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, and Miami Heat, among others, didn't hold back and gave his candid response. It's been known for a while that he doesn't like Rudy Gobert and he reiterated it once again, also sending a message to Ben Simmons.
His response was clear, concise, and definitive: "Rudy Gobert. And Ben Simmons is another bumbo."
Shaq explained his stance by arguing why he holds this opinion: "If you sign a $250 million contract, show me that you're worth $250 million. There's a reason I walk weird, that I can't turn my neck: it's because I played hard for my $120 million. Guys like him cheat the system, make all this money, and then can't play. So I don't respect players like that."
Shaq's Explanation
He concluded by stating that it's not just pure hatred, although it may seem hard to believe, but he made an interesting final remark: "Every time I make these comments, people think I'm hating, but these are facts. There are teachers, firefighters, and doctors who have real jobs and don't make much."
