Shaq made it blatantly clear that he’s far from impressed with the superteams culture in NBA
Not one to shy away from making his thoughts publicly known, Shaquille O’Neal has over the years voiced his opinion strongly. And he made sure he made his angst against the superteams in NBA blatantly known as well with him lashing out at players and teams who assemble rosters laden to the brim with worldclass names.
Shaq Opens Up On His Hate For Superteams In NBA
During his appearance with Robert Hory, Shaq opened up on how he had no respect for players who were way too willing to be a part of these superteams. While he didn’t take any names, the likes of Kevin Durant, James Harden and LeBron James are bound to have taken notice of the comments, all names who have been integral to forming superteams in the current era.
“The words I hate is this new era. We watched the era before us and we all competed. Guys are getting real lazy and real cute and then they want guys like me and Big Shot Bob to show them some respect,” the Los Angeles Lakers legend said.
Shaq meanwhile also spoke about the players he would have teamed up with if he wanted to be part of a superteam during his time in the marquee league.
“Trust me, if I knew it was okay to team up after Houston busting my ass in 94, I would have went and played next to Hakeem. I would have went to go play with Tim Duncan and Dave Robinso. But I was like nope. I’m checking my leaks, licking my wounds, and I want to beat these dudes and we did,” he continued.
