Shaquille O’Neal‘s ‘allergy’ to talking about Rudy Gobert is well known, as he considers him to be one of the most overpaid, overrated and overrated players in NBA history. The NBA legend’s criticism of the Wolves player has been varied, but this time O’Neal had to swallow his words or, rather, vomit them.
Rudy Gobert had a historic game against the Lakers. The Frenchman finished with 27 points, 24 rebounds (nine offensive), two blocks and all with 80% shooting, achieving the fourth 25/20 with that 80% or better shooting in Playoff history and the first since 1996. A demonstration of dominance that is just what Shaq had to say.
Shaq’s ‘vomit’ reaction to Rudy Gobert’s historic game against the Lakers
After the game, Shaquille had to say it: “I never thought I’d say this,” he said and started joking with gestures of going to vomit… until he said that Gobert had been dominant. Just what Shaq himself accused him of not being despite his physical condition.

Tottenham Hotspur embrace unlikely status as Europa League favorites despite inconsistent season
Getty Images Doom and gloom has followed Tottenham Hotspur like a pesky shadow this season, rightly or wrongly. The specific genre of despondency changes with the context – sometimes an injury crisis of epic proportions brought the mood down, other times the malcontent was inspired by managerial decisions – but the feeling has been inescapable. It is almost in direct conflict with the fact that Spurs enter Thursday as the oddsmakers' favorites to win the UEFA Europa League, just three games away from ending an 18-year trophy drought.Such has been the "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" quality of Spurs' season that they have coupled a comfortable spot in 16th place in the Premier League with a trip to the Europa League semifinals. It is the type of situation that makes it difficult for some to take stock of the team's […]

Mandatory Credit: Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images The Cincinnati Reds optioned reliever Alexis Diaz to Louisville on Friday and called up fellow right-hander Luis Mey from the Triple-A club. Diaz has struggled mightily since his return from the injured list, posting a 12.00 ERA without a decision in six appearances for Cincinnati this season. With his team trailing by one run on Wednesday, Diaz entered the first game of a doubleheader with the St. Louis Cardinals and allowed three home runs in the ninth inning, leading to a 6-0 setback. He permitted five runs on four hits and a walk in one inning. Diaz, 28, in 18-14 with 75 saves and a 3.21 […]
10 statistics to explain Rockies’ historically bad April: By the numbers as Colorado barrels toward MLB record
Imagn Images The Colorado Rockies ended April in rare form on Wednesday night, scoring a 2-1 victory over reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves. The Rockies, losers of eight of their last nine and 16 of their last 18, are now 5-25 on the year with a two-game "cushion" on possession of the worst record in all of Major League Baseball.Predictably, the Rockies find themselves in undesirable company. Earlier this week, they secured the worst start in modern NL history -- and, more importantly, one of the worst starts in all MLB history -- by becoming one of five clubs to lose at least 25 of their first 30 contests.We here at CBS Sports figured the beginning of May was an opportune time to take a deeper look at the Rockies' putrid start.
