“No Steph Curry is just baffling” – Fans erupt over Shaquille O’Neal’s top 10 NBA players of all time list

Shaquille O’Neal left Steph Curry off his greatest of all-time list, which was released on Tuesday via Netflix. The LA Lakers legend removed himself from the pantheon of legends by adding Julius Erving, who came in 10th and a spot behind Tim Duncan.

In March this year, Shaquille O'Neal said on national TV that Steph Curry has to be in the greatest of all time (GOAT) conversation. O’Neal suited up against Michael Jordan and played with and against both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He has a unique perspective on such talks and “demanded” Curry’s inclusion in that topic.

According to Shaq, Curry should not be left out because “he ain’t never seen nothing like that before” and counted the point guard’s four championships. O’Neal continued that the Golden State Warriors superstar won multiple titles at the expense of LeBron James.

Roughly three months after making a case for Steph Curry’s GOAT status, Shaquille O'Neal did not even include him in his top 10 of all-time greats.

Shaquille O'Neal praises Michael Jordan ahead of Chicago Bulls legend’s special contributor role with NBC

In an interview with Ashley Nevel two weeks ago, Shaquille O'Neal answered some questions about Michael Jordan. The Chicago Bulls legend will join NBC next season as a special contributor. When asked if Jordan’s comments could be mistaken for hate, O’Neal responded:

(37:34 mark)

“First of all, if anybody says Michael Jordan is hating, you’re an idiot. … So, if Jordan says, ‘I don’t think this guy is good.’ You’re not that f**king good. I don’t care how many points you are averaging. If Jordan says you should do this, you should do it. Instead of being into your feelings, just listen to what the greatest player who’s ever played the game has to say.”

O’Neal added that he would embrace comments from the six-time champ. He continued that although he thrives in his power game, he would change his style if Jordan asked him to change it.

Over the years, Shaquille O'Neal has often called Michael Jordan the GOAT. The TNT studio analyst might have changed his stance on certain basketball topics but he has always sung Jordan's praises.
