There has been a debate of G.O.A.T in NBA for a long time now. The sport has Michael Jordan vs. Lebron James debate about who is the greatest to ever play the game. Some fans use stats to back ‘The Kid From Akron’ as the G.O.A.T. Others use the number of Championships won argument to back ‘Air Jordan’. Shaquille O’Neal and Logan Paul recently settled the basketball ‘GOAT’ debate of Michael Jordan or LeBron James.
Shaquille O’ Neal and Logan Paul discuss the matter
Former Los Angeles Laker Shaquille O’Neal gave his thoughts on the debate and revealed who his G.O.A.T is, while on a podcast with Logan Paul:
“I think the greatest player is Michael Jordan. LeBron’s about to do something that hasn’t been done in a long time and I think he will move his name up there. But for me it’s always, Doctor J, Michael Jordan…and those guys.”
Logan Paul gave his opinions on the debate and revealed who he believes the G.O.A.T is:
“I might get flamed for this but dude, I’m from Cleveland, so I gotta go with LeBron.”
Shaq himself is a legend of the game and another name is Kobe Bryant.
Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant were a dominant in the ealry 2000s and they made their way through the league to win three consecutive rings. However, in their fourth year together, they came just short of making it 4 consecutive championships. The Lakers lost to the Detroit Pistons in the finals. This was the breaking point of their already fragile relationship.
Things just got worse for the pair following their split. In the same podcast, O’Neal revealed why he regrets his decisions so much:
“One of the biggest mistakes I made…..One day I get a call my sister is no longer with us. So I’m already down you know, from that, and then I get another call. ‘Ay man Kobe Bryant just passed away’. And all I had to do was pick up the phone and say, ‘Hey I miss you, hey I love you, hey what you doing’.”
