NBA legend Shaquille O?Neal is one of the best players ever. However, the 2000 NBA MVP ?did not want to be the best player ever. It was always about being the most dominant from day one. And it is safe to say he achieved that. Despite this, O’Neal is humble and doesn’t mind putting other stars above him on All-Time lists. However, he does not shy away from making it clear to everyone that he was one of the best as well. That was the case when a sportscaster didn’t include Shaq in his top 10. O’Neal made his point with a highlight reel and superstar Stephen Curry gave his stamp of approval.

Big Diesel once revealed that he liked the look on his opponent’s face when he dunked hard on him. And he liked the reaction. So, from that day on, Shaq wanted to see fear in his opponents’ eyes and set out to be as dominant as anyone could be.

Stephen Curry heaped praise on Shaquille O?Neal

Shaquille O?Neal is a fan of All-Time lists. Like most NBA fans, Shaq indulges in debates about the GOAT of the NBA and talks about All-Time lists from time to time. The four-time NBA champion often shares such posts on his social media handles and asks for the opinion of his fans. Interestingly, the basketball world has seen the All-Time top-10 lists of multiple legends in the past few days including Shaq and Dr. J.

Notably, sportscaster Chris Broussard recently talked about O’Neal’s list on his podcast. Shockingly, the analyst did not include the Los Angeles Lakers legend in his top 10. This did not sit well with O’Neal who shared a video clip of some of his incredible plays and stated that this was the reason he has himself on his list.

Shaq also tagged ESPN, Broussard, and Stephen Curry among others in the post. He even tagged Stephen A. Smith who is one of ESPN‘s top employees.

The clip had some of Diesel‘s most disrespectful posters, blocks, slick post moves, etc. A lot of fans agreed with the notion that O’Neal should be in the top-10 list. Interestingly, Curry expressed his views as well. He commented, “OMG Diesel. Ridiculously talented and dominant”.

The Golden State Warriors star certainly showed the respect he has for the Hall of Famer. Of course, it’s not a one-sided feeling.

Shaquille O?Neal’s respect for Stephen Curry

Shaquille O?Neal is a huge fan of Stephen Curry as well.

O’Neal is always about ‘tough love’ and does not praise stars easily. However, O’Neal does not hesitate to applaud a star when it’s due.

Over the years, the former center has showered Curry with praise on multiple occasions. Shaq even hilariously called himself the “Black Steph Curry” recently. So the respect is indeed mutual, if not a little comical at times.

What do you think about the NBA legends giving each other their flowers? Are Steph and Shaq top 10 players?
