The discussion about who is the greatest player of all time has accompanied the NBA for decades. Beyond statistics or titles, there are names that spark passion and divided opinions. Shaquille O’Neal, a historic figure of the league, has been part of that debate not only as a player but also as an influential voice after his retirement. Over the years, he has revealed his own vision of what it truly means to be great.
Throughout time, O’Neal has been steadfast in defending Kobe Bryant’s place among the best. The story they shared with the Lakers allows him to speak from closeness but also from sportsmanship respect. For him, Kobe was not just a champion but a fierce competitor who marked an entire generation. In his words, leaving him out of the conversation would be an unforgivable mistake.
Shaquille O’Neal tone to choose between Michael Jordan and LeBron James rise eyebrows
The surprise came when Shaq now mentioned Stephen Curry as part of that select group. He believes that the impact of the Golden State point guard has been so profound that he already deserves to sit at the same table. While still recognizing LeBron James as “The King” and Michael Jordan as “the greatest player of all time,” O’Neal considers that Curry radically changed the modern game, redefining how to attack, defend, and win in the league.

For Shaq, being one of the greats doesn’t depend solely on talent or numbers. What really matters is how a player transforms their era and leaves a mark. And with that perspective, Curry’s quiet dominance has spoken loud enough to earn him an eternal place in basketball history.

Cubs’ Manager says Kyle Tucker Was Playing Through Hairline Fracture in Hand
Not only have the Chicago Cubs quieted the hottest team in Major League Baseball, but they've won three straight over the Milwaukee Brewers without star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker started in the series opener on Monday, going 0-for-4 at the plate, which was his sixth game out of the last seven without recording a hit.
