He relaunched this in his latest podcast, criticizing League and Lebron James&#39; league. It will appeal to the King.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-569304\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While he is often mistaken in his statements, as when quoting the piston coach, Shaquille O&#39;Neal still continues to draw. He wants a lot of this generation of basketball players, notably embodied by LeBron James for 20 years. But then how to explain that he is a consultant when he seems so selfless?<\/p>\n<p>It will be necessary to ask him the question, but it is clear that the big cactus is fed up on its side. He believes that the NBA has &#8220;a product of M*RDE&#8221; and that the players take advantage of it, like Ben Simmons and its former very luxurious contract. He dropped during a long tirade in the last episode of his podcast. He notably criticized James&#39; career.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Shaquille O&#39;Neal takes it severely at the NBA<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Shaquille O\u2019Neal<\/strong> : &#8220;Of course LeBron James&#39; longevity is the result of the weakness of this league. It&#39;s less physical. Today you take fines, suspensions for nothing, you can&#39;t even make big mistakes. In my time, it was crazy. I know what greatness is in this sport, I no longer see that today. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-post\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"next-post__text\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tRead<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Shaquille O&#39;Neal still ridicules himself, furious fans: &#8220;Does he look at basketball?&#8221; \u00bb\u00bb\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;Do you want me to praise them the same way?&#8221; It will not happen. The kids will say that I am a hateful. I am a great player, not them, why would I be a hateful? They say that me and Charles we ruin this sport, but this is not the case. Some affect 400 million and they do not know how to play, and they know it perfectly. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cNikola Jokic knows how to play. Giannis antetokounmpo can play. Damian Lillard can play. But not a Ben Simmons, which would be better to be arrested. 250 million for him? Releases from there. This guy is doing a flight, you can&#39;t do that. \u00bb\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A new tackle against the current league, including LeBron James. Often acclaimed for its exceptional longevity, with more than 20 years in the league, the King puts everyone in agreement &#8230; or almost. New reviews for the Shaq, who spends his time doing this now. What better understand the criticisms of him in recent months.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Shaquille O&#39;Neal is not impressed by the career of LeBron James, who could have been different according to him at another time of the NBA.
