NBA – Unchained, Shaq puts the cover back on Wembanyama: “It’s not…

La légende NBA Shaquille O'Neal (gauche) et le jeune joueur français Victor Wembanyama (droite)

It’s been a few weeks now since Shaquille O’Neal made comments about Victor Wembanyama’s business. This has not changed in recent hours, since the legendary kingpin once again mentioned the Frenchman’s name.

Thanks to his antics performed on the set of Inside The NBA, he maintains a certain popularity rating with fans. Shaquille O’Neal remains one of the most popular personalities in the league today.

However, he sometimes damages this beautiful image and attracts criticism when he attacks the current stars of the league, and more particularly his successors in the racket.

Shaquille O’Neal insists on the Victor Wembanyama case

For several years now, O’Neal has been criticizing the pivots of the new generation.

After having targeted Rudy Gobert for a long time, he has fallen back on Victor Wembanyama since the latter’s arrival in the NBA and says he is convinced that the French prodigy is nothing unique.

Following a recent highlight from Bam Adebayo, he even declared himself a pioneer in one of his characteristics on TNT:

Reggie Miller: I used to see someone in Orlando do that against my Pacers. A young Shaquille O’Neal who was bringing the ball up and doing coast-to-coast! Superb finish from Bam.

Shaquille O’Neal: Great move, great finish from Bam. And yes Reg’, I was the first big man to lift the ball with style and charisma. It’s not Wemby or Bol Bol, it was me!

With such a pole held out by Reggie Miller, Shaq couldn’t help but grab it. So this is what he did with joy, considering that he had displayed qualities in lifting the ball well before Wemby.

An opinion that is obviously debatable, even if Diesel has indeed signed a few sequences of the kind in his career. Regardless, Internet users did not spare him for this unexpected self-promotion:

@shaq it’s not all about you, grind it out and let the young ones shine.

After making Bol Bol the first NBA big man to shoot regularly from afar and exhibit dribbling skills, Shaquille O’Neal gave himself the status of the first coast-to-coast pivot.

All this, to the detriment of Victor Wembanyama.
