In a recent chat with German platform Sport Blid, NBA Hall of Famer and legend Shaquille O’Neal was asked who his all-time starting 5 and his lineup will cause the LeSychophants to go apoplectic.
Dirk Schlickmann : What is your personal best starting five of all-time?
Shaq: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dr. J, Karl Malone and [myself].
He was then asked who he thought was the greatest player ever and O’Neal’s response will make LeSychophants rend their garments. Here is what the all-time great had to say:
Mr. Schlickmann then asked Shaq the question that is seemingly mandatory whenever basketball is discussed- “Who is the greatest player of all time: Michael Jordan or LeBron James?”
Here is how the 4-time NBA champion responded: “When I was a child, Dr. J and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were the measure of all things. When I was in college, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were the best. When I came to the NBA, Michael Jordan dominated. After that came Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, but for me, the greatest of all time is Michael Jordan.”
Will the LeMedia and their associated LeSychophants now put Shaq in their crosshairs? Will this demented segment of basketball “fans” now cast stones at O’Neal’s basketball legacy because his cromulent opinion runs in contrast to their attempt to distort basketball history to satisfy their pathological obsession to edify LeBron James?
Unlike outlets such as fadeawayworld.net, and yardbarker, we don’t carry the highly flawed sentiment that Lebron James, nor any other player, is entitled to a position in anyone’s top 5, all-time starting 5, nor at the Mountaintop as the GOAT.
