Shaq Denies LeBron’s GOAT Status: A Controversial Take Sparks Debate

Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal stirred controversy by dismissing LeBron James as the greatest player of all time during a recent podcast.

O’Neal, alongside ex-Miami Heat guard Mario Chalmers, asserted that players like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant induced more fear among opponents than James ever did.

Chalmers supported Shaq’s sentiment, highlighting James’s desire for popularity. Known for his conservative leanings and strong family values, Shaq emphasized teaching his children business acumen and offering incentives for higher education.

Meanwhile, UFC icon Colby Covington lambasted James for purportedly harboring anti-American sentiments, challenging him to leave the country.
