NBA star Ben Simmons triggers many negative thoughts in Shaquille o’neal. The basketball icon therefore divides properly.
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is not enthusiastic about what he is currently seeing on the parquet in the best basketball league in the world. So he explained in The Big Podcast that the NBA was no longer what it was.
While he spoke about rules and the development of the longevity of players, the 53-year-old drew the image of a league that is softer and less competitive-and that, as he was able to express it, the “shitty” product delivered.
So O’Neal explained that he does not bring respect to any player, just because he bears the jersey of a franchise.
While the four -time champion realized that in his opinion, many players do not do justice to the hype and their salary check with their performance, he scored a player. And that really.
O’neal freaked out because of Ben Simmons
Clipper’s Guard Ben Simmons obviously can’t inspire O’Neal, on the contrary. “Ben Simmons has to be damaged again,” the ex-athlete did not hold back. “250 million dollars for this bullshit? Take my eyes off again. It robs people,” raged Shaq.
Simmons was drafted in 2016 by the Philadelphia 76ers as a number 1 pick. After a few successes in Philly, he was voted Rookie of the Year and three times as the all-star, but his career went downhill.
He completely missed the 2021/22 season, followed by a strike including a salary dispute with the Sixers, in which he cited “mental problems” before the Brooklyn Nets had an unsuccessful chapter.
In the meantime, Simmons has ended up with the Clipperers and has an average of 3.6 points and 3.4 assists in a just more than 17 minutes per game in 17 games.
Not necessarily superstar numbers for someone who, according to Spotrac , deserves more than $ 203 million.
