From<strong> his playing days in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-explains-why-ja-morant-is-the-best-player-in-the-nba-20220309-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a></strong> to his usual cameos on movies and television, there aren’t many people on Earth <strong>who don’t know his name and his face.</strong></p>
<p>Shaq has made a living out of <strong>endorsing thousands of products</strong> throughout the year. He’s quite asuccessful businessman and has done even more money off the court than what he achieved on it.</p>
<p>However, his style has never been for everybody. If you don’t take our word for it, just ask <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-dennis-rodman-takes-a-massive-shot-at-gregg-popovich-20220322-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dennis Rodman</strong></a>, who recently <strong>called him out </strong>for not being selective with the products he tries to sell.</p>
<h2>Dennis Rodman Rips Shaquille O’Neal: He ‘Wh*res Himself Out’</h2>
<p><strong>(Transcript via Basketball Network)</strong></p>
<p><em>“Some people wonder why companies would want someone as controversial as I am to pitch their products. I<strong>‘ll tell you why and everyone knows it. Consumers aren’t total idiots. They can see right through someone like Shaquille O’Neal, who not only wh*res himself out to a million sponsors but acts like a damn fool</strong>. You’ll see Shaq being interviewed on live TV and he’ll say something like he just wants to be young, have fun, and drink Pepsi. Uh, yeah. No one could possibly believe that’s what he really feels; it’s such an obvious load of crap. <strong>He might as well dress up like a Pepsi can when he plays. No one should want to sell a product that bad. IT’S PATHETIC.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>He further added, <strong>“When I pitch, I have to do it my way. As long as a product serves a legitimate function and doesn’t take its sh*t too seriously, I’m willing to help sell it”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Rodman concluded, “The whole idea of lending your name to some corporate cause is bizarre. It’s tempting to take some of these offers because the money is just so easy. This was especially true early in my career, before my salary was so high. It’s easy now for me to be selective; back then it was damn hard not to jump at any opportunity. Luckily, I didn’t have many offers until I started getting freaky, so the temptations pretty much weren’t there<strong>. I am proud that I never sold out and never kissed any a**. But it’s always a fine line when it comes to people selling your name.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p>
<p>At the end of the day, Shaq does what he feels it’s best for him and his brand, and it’s definitely worked thus far. But hey, Rodman <strong>will always speak his mind,</strong> and it’s not like he doesn’t have a valid point as well.</p>

The team gave away a lot to get him, he vowed to re-sign with them, and left in the offseason. Moreover, he openly called his teammates out and<strong> was far from the leader they needed.</strong></p>
<p>Celtics fans are harsh. They’ve let Kyrie know that they have no sympathy for him whatsoever, and Irving has done little to help his case, either. From stomping on the logo, to burning sage before games, and even calling them a<strong> ‘scorned ex-girlfriend,’</strong> he’s done it all.</p>
<p>But now, it seems like <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/kyrie-irving-reveals-he-and-kevin-durant-nearly-signed-with-the-knicks-20220412-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kyrie</a> </strong>has finally had it with Celtics fans. He gave them the finger, told them to suck his d***, and will have to dig deep into his pockets to pay multiple fines.<strong> That’s why Shaquille O’Neal called him out and told him to stop whining.</strong></p>
<h2>Shaq Calls Kyrie A Whiner Over His Attitude Against Celtics Fans</h2>
<p><em><strong>“It’s part of the game,”</strong></em> Shaq said<strong>.</strong><em><strong>“The best thing you can do is stay a consummate professional, and send they a** home at the end of the series. </strong>That’s the best thing you can do. I had a conversation with Bill Russell, and he told me some things I never knew and they had to go through.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“If you persevere and become one of the greatest big men of all time, that’s the type of action I want,”</strong></em> Shaq added.<em>“That’s the type of professional I want to be. Muhammad Ali, Kareem, Jackie Robinson, all the people who made it, paved the way for us to be able to be here, be professional. They had to hear some real stuff. I react by whoever is on the court, bustin their a** and sending them home.<strong> That’s how you react, you don’t cry and whine about it. Boston, Philly, New York, they don’t care about that press conference. Game 2, they gon’ be talking more (sh*t). They gon’ be doing more things and more antics. They don’t care about that in Boston. Just play and win the game. It’s just basketball, I don’t want to hear all that.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>To be fair, there’s only so much a person can and should tolerate and fans often cross that line. Then again, Shaq has a valid point right there. Do you hate them? <strong>Fine, send them home then.</strong></p>

<p>Morant wasn’t a highly-touted prospect coming out of high school and he hard to work his way to the top. Now, he’s a legit MVP candidate and one of the <strong>most entertaining players to watch</strong> in the Association.</p>
<p>He’s been so good and so quickly, that even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-explains-why-james-harden-and-joel-embiid-shouldnt-be-compared-to-him-and-kobe-20220308-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong></a> recently went as far as to say that he’s the best player in the NBA. Per Shaq, it’s not just about his game <strong>but his attitude towards the game.</strong></p>
<h2>Shaq Says Ja Morant Is The Best Player In The League</h2>
<p><em><strong>“You should’ve seen this little kid’s face when I said ‘Yo man, you’re the best player in the league. He was like ‘huh?’ and I’m not playing with you bro, you’re the best–for real.

<h2>Shaq Loves Morant’s Attitude</h2>
<p>This isn’t the first time that Shaq raves about Morant’s mindset. Not so long ago, he compared him to a young <strong>Kobe Bryant </strong>and how both players were eager and determined to prove that they were better than most people thought:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I wasn’t talking about the player. I was talking about the attitude. When Kobe came in at 19 he knew he was the s**t, he just knew it,”</strong></em> Shaq said.<em>“The coach will be like, ‘don’t do that play,’ Kobe would be like, ‘nope I’m doing it.’ Like this kid is really freaking good and he knows it.”</em></p>
<p><em>“And there’s not a lot of people you can say that about in this league as a young player. That’s what I mean by that,” </em>Shaq added. <strong><em>“He knows it, he wasn’t highly drafted, wasn’t highly talked about, made a name for himself late in the NCAA, but he knows he’s good. He knows that’s his team and he’s playing really well. That’s what I meant by that.”</em></strong></p>

<p>That mentality is what <strong>can turn a very good player into a legend. </strong>Ja Morant’s NBA journey is just getting started and, barring injury, he’s going to be a superstar for many, many years to come.</p>

They made it to the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA Finals</a> </strong>four times, winning three rings and putting together some of the most memorable performances of all time.</p>
<p>Needless to say, they set the bar for modern basketball duos, just like <strong>Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen</strong> did before them; so it’s only natural for people to compare them with today’s players.</p>
<p>That’s why some Sixers fanshave gone as far as to say that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/joel-embiid-shuts-down-the-shaq-kobe-comparisons-with-he-and-james-harden-20220303-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joel Embiid and James Harden</a> isthe new version of Shaq and Kobe. </strong>Unsurprisingly, the<em> Big Diesel</em> isn’t exactly a fan of that comparison.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Shaq Says People Need To Stop Comparing Harden-Embiid To Shaq-Kobe</h2>
<p><em>“We won three out of four… No. No. Hell, no,”</em> Shaq sentenced, per Essentially Sports.<em><strong>“Not after one year. Me and Kobe had eight years of damage together. No, not even close. Stop it. Listen, NO, H NO, and F NO.”</strong></em></p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-22">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>Embiid Also Thinks They’re A Different Duo</h2>
<p>When asked about it, Joel Embiid <strong>had quite a similar answer. </strong>For starters, not only are they just getting started but also, it’s not like they’re similar players to Kobe and Shaq by any means:</p>
<p><em><strong>“I’m Joel Embiid. I don’t play the way Shaq did, you know, dominant in other ways. I’m not physically dominant like he was,”</strong></em> Embiid explained. <em>“You know, he was a freakin monster when he played… obviously Hall of Famer and one of the best ever. But I’m Joel Embiid… I dominate in other ways on the basketball floor as far as doing everything. James does the same thing as far as being a scorer and a playmaker.”</em></p>
<p>The Sixers have a chance to do something special here. But it’s not like Harden is getting any younger, and it’s not like they’ll dominate the league for 8 years. At the end of the day, <strong>there’s no need to compare.</strong></p>

<p>The clock continues to tick and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/los-angeles-lakers-owner-jeanie-buss-called-out-lebron-james-20220302-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> are showing no signs of life. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-warns-the-rest-of-the-nba-responds-to-lakers-fans-boos-20220302-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> </strong>keeps getting his numbers, yet <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/russell-westbrook-gets-real-on-the-lakers-terrible-season-20220302-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frank Vogel’s team</a> </strong>can’t seem to execute for a full 48 minutes.</p>
<p>To make things even worst, it seems like this Lakers team has let everybody now and not just the fans. Franchise legends like <strong>James Worthy and Magic Johnson</strong> have shown their disappointment with their lack of effort as well.</p>
<p>Now, <strong>four-time NBA champion <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-says-ben-simmons-acted-like-a-baby-slid-in-his-dms-for-calling-him-soft-20220204-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaquille O’Neal</a> </strong>is also showing his concern about the team. Per Shaq, it’s one thing that they’re losing, but it also seems like they’ve given up already, and <strong>Dwyane Wade</strong> seems to agree with him.</p>
<h2>Shaq Calls Out The Lakers’ Lack Of Effort, Wade Agrees</h2>
<p>“You gotta at least put more effort into it. I don’t mind losing, but when you don’t have a lot of effort, it shows that–and I hate to use this word–it looks like they’re quitting,” Shaq said onNBA on TNT. <em><strong>“I hate to use the word.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“There’s no sense of urgency with this team,</strong></em>” Wade added.<em>“Like Shaq said, it’s not about winning a championship at this point.<strong> This is about pride. There’s no pride out there with this team. They pull apart from each other.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>LeBron James Warns The League Not To Count Him, Lakers Out</h2>
<p>Nevertheless, LeBron James claims that as long as they still have a chance to make the playoffs, you can’t count him or the Lakers out. <strong>Even if all the evidence points out that they won’t make it:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>“Until you bury me 12-feet under, I got a chance,” </strong></em>James said after the loss to the Mavericks. <em><strong>“That’s my confidence. As long as we got more games to play, we still have a chance. I hate losing. </strong>I feel like poop right now. But tomorrow’s a new day, and I’m going to be prepared for the Clippers on Thursday.”</em></p>
<p>Ironically, James’ body language hasn’t done much to help his team, either. He’s getting big numbers—<strong>most of them in garbage time</strong>— yet he’s quit multiple times on defense and has looked disgruntled more often than not. They still have a chance but the turnaround needs to be perfect.</p>

<p>Simmons’ decision not to play for the<strong> Philadelphia 76ers</strong> anymore even if that costs him his entire paycheck has raised contrasting takes around the league. But for the most part, people think he’s just bailing on his team.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago, Shaq lauded <strong>Joel Embiid’s MVP-caliber play</strong> and gave him props for shutting down the criticism with his play. Also, he took <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-rips-crybaby-ben-simmons-claims-he-doesnt-respect-him-at-all-20220128-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>a big shot at Simmons</strong></a> for doing the exact opposite.</p>
<h2>NBA News: Shaq Calls Ben Simmons A Crybaby</h2>
<p><em><strong>“The difference between him (Joel Embiid)and his soft partner (Ben Simmons), is he can take criticism without being a crybaby, and he still wants to play,”</strong></em>Shaq said. <em>“‘Cause me and Charles, we’ve been on him. We stay on him. We tell him to his face what he needs to do.”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>“He didn’t cry, he didn’t say “I want to be traded”, he didn’t complain about mistreatment. That’s the difference,</em></strong>” Shaq added.<em><strong>“The other guy I don’t respect..</strong>. You’re missing a whole season because they asked your coach a question “Can we win without you” and your coach gave a funny answer. That should tell you, you need to get in the summertime and work on your game… Great players get criticized.<strong> Great players also step up to the criticism… I would get rid of him.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>Shaq Says Simmons Got Into It With Him Via DM</h2>
<p>Unsurprisingly, Simmons <strong>didn’t care for Shaq’s comments</strong> and tried to give him a piece of his mind on social media. Shaq, truth to nature, didn’t shy away from the confrontation and just fired back:</p>
<p><em><strong>“He’s acting like a baby. He kind of got in my DM and said some things and I said some things back,</strong></em>” Shaq told Sports Illustrated. <em>“I can’t [reveal what he said]. I can’t do that. All I said is ‘You’re leaving your man out there and you need to play.’ That’s all I said. Then he said some things but I’m not going to elaborate on what he said because that’s not cool. He’s probably mad. He’s mad because I’m his LSU brother, and I am. I’m still his brother.”</em></p>
<p>At the end of the day, one can only hope that Simmons finds peace and eventually comes back to play, whether it’s for the Sixers or somewhere else. But hey, <strong>dealing with criticism is also a part of the job.</strong></p>

<p>To say that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/draymond-green-addresses-whether-the-lakers-should-trade-russell-westbrook-20220127-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> <strong>have underperformed</strong> this season could be a bit of an understatement. They went from being a clear-cut favorite to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-finals-all-nba-champions-by-year-20210701-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA Finals</strong></a> to a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-news-lebron-james-blocked-a-trade-for-buddy-hield-asked-for-russell-westbrook-20220127-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>borderline playoff team.</strong></a></p>
<p>The fans have lost their patience already and are urging the team to either fire <strong>Frank Vogel</strong> or trade <strong>Russell Westbrook,</strong> both of which seem quite unlikely given the front office’s stance on those subjects.</p>
<p>However, and even despite their struggles, former Lakers great <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-rips-crybaby-ben-simmons-claims-he-doesnt-respect-him-at-all-20220128-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaquille O’Neal</a> </strong>thinks there’s nothing to worry about. Per the<em>Big Diesel,</em><strong>LeBron James’ </strong>team is right where they want to be at this point in the season.</p>
<h2>Shaq Says The Lakers Are ‘Right Where They Want To Be’</h2>
<p><em><strong>“What a lot of people don’t understand is that the Lakers are right where they want to be,” </strong></em>Shaq said, per Sports Casting. <em><strong>“When you’re older, you’re saying to yourself, ‘Wait until the playoffs.’ So even though they’re not playing spectacularly, they’re still in the eight-spot.</strong> So if I was them, I don’t want to play Phoenix or Golden State in the first round. We’re going for Memphis.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“That’s how you think when you’re older,”</strong></em> Shaq added.“<em>When you’re playing against a LeBron or Carmelo, the opponents are going to be playing way above their heads.<strong> If I’m playing against somebody, I’m not getting up for you the way you’re getting up for me. But then, when we know what’s at stake during the playoffs, they’re right where they want to be.”</strong></em></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Shaq has a valid point but there are still big reasons to be worried about the team. Health aside, their defensive effort has been non-existent at best and their offense has been stagnant. The clock is ticking, so they better straighten the ship <strong>and make a big push in the second half of the season.</strong></p>

Morey wants way too much for a player <strong>who’s shown no desire to play or be coached.</strong> That’s why<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/shaq-explains-how-lebron-james-could-win-the-goat-debate-over-michael-jordan-20211021-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shaquille O’Neal</a></strong> took a big shot at him and how he’s dealt with criticism.</p>
<h2>Shaq Calls Ben Simmons A ‘Crybaby’, Claims He Doesn’t Respect Him</h2>
<p><strong><em>“He’s (Joel Embiid) doing what he’s supposed to do,”</em></strong> Shaq said on TNT.<em>“He’s dominating… I stay on big guys because I care about them. I want them to play a certain way, I want them to play at a certain level.”</em></p>
<p><em><strong>“The difference between him and his soft partner (Ben Simmons), is he can take criticism without being a crybaby, and he still wants to play,” </strong></em>Shaq added<em>. “‘Cause me and Charles, we’ve been on him. We stay on him. We tell him to his face what he needs to do.”</em></p>
<p><em>“He didn’t cry, he didn’t say “I want to be traded”, he didn’t complain about mistreatment. That’s the difference<strong>. The other guy I don’t respect… You’re missing a whole season because they asked your coach a question “Can we win without you” and your coach gave a funny answer. That should tell you, you need to get in the summertime and work on your game… Great players get criticized. Great players also step up to the criticism… I would get rid of him,</strong>“</em> the <em>Big Diesel </em>concluded.</p>

<p>Shaq<strong> has a strong point </strong>right there. Most NBA stars silence their critics on the floor and prove how much theirteams need them. They don’t hide. Simmons’ reputation will forever be stained for this incident but hopefully, he’ll be back on the court sooner rather than later.</p>

<p>But with the start of the season just around the corner, it seems like we’ll finally have some closure. <strong>The Nets </strong>won’t allow Kyrie to play, travel, or practice; and Simmons shockingly reported to <strong>the Sixers’</strong> facility.</p>
<p>Then again, that wasn’t much of a surprise for Hall of Famer <strong>Shaquille O’Neal,</strong> who recently said that Simmons only showed up <strong>because <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/ben-simmons-could-lose-more-than-1-million-over-controversial-decision-20210906-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he needed the money</a> </strong>to maintain hisostentatious lifestyle.</p>

<p><em><strong>“Let’s just talk business first. You miss the season or whatever, that can cost you up to $8 million.

<p>The 4-time NBA champion also dissed Simmons for not working on his flaws, comparing him to<strong> Lonzo Ball </strong>and talking about how he managed to fix his broken jumper with some hard work:</p>
<p><em><strong>“[Ball’s] shooting is a testament to somebody working on their jumper. Lonzo Ball is shooting that thing and he looks good shooting that thing”</strong></em> the Big Diesel added.</p>

<p><strong>(Transcript via Fadeaway World)</strong></p>
<p><em>“In certain cities like Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Miami, Dallas, we know what hard work is. And we know what being fearless is.

<p>At the end of the day, Simmons will have to decide whether he wants to be a legend — which he has the potential to, or just an average player with a bunch load of money.<strong> He’ll be fine either way, tho.</strong></p>

<p>The new-look <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Lakers</strong></a> haven’t even taken the court, yet people around the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> are <strong>already ruling them out, </strong>all because of the age of their veterans. And, while most people should know better than to count<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> </strong>out, the narrative around the league is that they’re just too old.</p>
<p>The Lakers signed <strong>Trevor Ariza, Wayne Ellington, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and DeAndre Jordan </strong>to put them around a 36-year-old star, which may not sound like a recipe for success in today’s NBA.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, <strong>Shaquille O’Neal </strong>still believes that<strong> the Lakers and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/brooklyn-nets-t99901" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brooklyn Nets</a> </strong>willhave the upper hand against most young teams because younger teams always struggle in the playoffs.</p>

<h2>Shaquille O’Neal Says Age Shouldn’t Be A Concern For The Lakers</h2>
<p><em><strong>“A lot of people always talk about age,”</strong></em> Shaq said. “<em><strong>But show me a young team that dominates. Listen, young teams always make noise, but when they get to the playoffs what do you always say? ‘Oh, they don’t have enough experience.’ The great Carmelo Anthony was right. It’s championship or bust for the Lakers. The Brooklyn Nets and the Lakers have the most experience when it comes to age. I’m not worried about all that young talk.”</strong></em></p>
<p>That isn’t the first time that Shaq has come in the Lakers’ defense, claiming that — even though they’re pretty old, not many young teams are able to take that step forward and dominate the league:</p>
<p><em><strong>“They’re older, but until you can show me a young team that has dominated the league, I’m not really worried too much about their age,”</strong></em> Shaq told Complex several weeks ago.</p>

<p>Hopefully, he and the team will be able to work things out and run it back. He’s too good to give up on, but he also has to know that people will <strong>hold him accountable</strong> if he doesn’t show up when it matters the most.</p>

<p>This year’s <strong>MVP race </strong>has been one for the ages, that’s for sure. With surprising teams owning the best record in each conference and some players stepping up their game, it seems like we’ll have a first-time winner this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> season.</p>
<p>That means that<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a> </strong>are most likely out of the picture, either because of injury or due to their team’s record.</p>
<p>That leaves just a handful of logical candidates that could actually be named as the league’s Most Valuable Player, with Philadelphia 76ers star <strong>Joel Embiid</strong> and Denver Nuggets big <strong>Nikola Jokic </strong>leading the race.</p>

<h2>Shaquille O’Neal Says Joel Embiid Should Be This Year’s MVP</h2>
<p><em>“I’d give it to Joel Embiid right now. He’s playing the game like he’s supposed to be playing. He’s leading, rebounding, playing inside and he’s out there having fun. His PPG (Point Per Game) is more than the Joker’s. He’s a little bit better. He’ll be a 10 and the Joker will be a 9.9762541—they’re very very close<strong>. If you ask me for my opinion, I would go with Joel Embiid this year. They’re very very close,</strong>” </em>Shaq said on NBA on TNT.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Most people think that Jokic should win the award this season because of Embiid’s injuries, which is a valid statement. But if we take a look at the numbers, the Sixers’ big man<strong> is clearly one step ahead.</strong></p>
<p>Thus far, Embiid is averaging <strong>30.0 points with 11.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers per game on 51/37/81 shooting splits</strong>, whereas Jokic averages 26.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 three-pointers per game on 56/41/85.</p>
<p>The truth is that the voting could go either way right now and that both players are well-deserving of the distinction, so perhaps the league will even lean towards giving away <strong>co-MVPs </strong>as has happened in the All-Star Game and the Rookie of the Year voting.</p>

<h2>Shaq’s debut amazed fans but he didn’t finish well</h2>
<p><strong>There was a lot of excitement ahead of Shaq’s professional wrestling debut</strong>, that’s for sure. However, not many people expected too much from him. ButO’Nealawed the spectators andexceeded most of predictions when he took the ring.</p>
<p>Still, things went worse for him. <strong>The basketball legendwas knocked out by Rhodes</strong>, who threw him into a table. Thatwas the end of the match for Shaq, although his teammate Cargill sealed the triumph for the duo. However, Rhodes showed respect for O’Neal afterwards.</p>

Funniest memes and reactions to Shaq's debut at All Elite Wrestling - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Every team needed a huge man in the center to battle for the championship, as the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> was established in the late 1940s. In a game that continues to grow after 70 years, there were many excellent centers to play pro basketball.</strong></p>
<p>Historically, the central position was indeed a major position in the NBA. The role is central to the success of many NBA teams and features some of the most productive and talented players in basketball history. <strong>Centers are defensively responsible for the defenseof the rim and for rebounds.</strong></p>
<p>Of all shapes and sizes, the centers exist. Seven footers, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain, topped and overshadowed their colleagues. On the other hand, the five footers, such as Dave Cowens and Wes Unseld, used their pace and speed to excel. Let’s find out the<strong>Top 13 Centers of All-Time.</strong></p>
<h2>13. Bob McAdoo</h2>
