For context, Shaq was asked who the worst NBA player of all time is and his answer was Rudy Gobert and that he’s a bum. He cited Rudy’s contract and seemed to lump him in with Ben Simmons as someone who makes a ton of money but doesn’t play games, which doesn’t really make sense so I’m assuming he’s referring to the narrative that Rudy gets played off the floor (…despite having the highest net rating on the T-Wolves for their playoff run).

I wonder how much shit Rudy would still get if his offensive game was closer to like a Bam or something.
It feels like it’s been a whole lifetime since Dwight Howard said pretty much the same thing about Shaq hating on him, Shaq’s a dick lol
Gobert just can’t catch a break haha but this is a great response from him since it’s true.
cooked him. love french gastronomy
Its not that serious Baguette Biyombo.
The NBA is a meme league we like to point and laugh thats like 99% of the fun of the league
Awesome reply that doesn’t attack him back, he just goes the high road
Honestly this year has made me a huge Shaq hater. I probably disslile him more than Gobert…scratch that i dont even disslike Gobert (perfectly neutral towards him tbh).
Like Shaqs straight up has the thinnest skin of any player to have ever played in the NBA.
The reason why he disslikes Gobert is way too obvious too.
Chappelle needs to do another Playa Haters’ Ball with Shaq.
“Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go to the pet cemetery and put some more water in KAT’s mama’s dish. Good evening.”
Shaqs a petty jealous a hole. Plain and simple
Shaq just mad Rudy has more DPOYs than him
Imagine if the Timberwolves win the 2025 Finals and Rudy Gobert is Finals MVP
For me thats the worst part. When someone like SAS, Skip, Max, etc all hate its normally because they are trying to draw attention and views to their show. Shaq does not need to do it, he didnt need to hate on Dwight or Javale or Gobert, he does it because he likes doing it.
Shaq just hates other big men
Just cancel Inside the NBA already. I don’t need the extra year
This is why KG said most of these players wouldn’t have of lasted during his era. They are soft. Shaq challenges every top big man to be better. Why would Gobert be exempt from that??
Gobert don’t be present at all during the offseason and has had like 2 greats and dereck lively shit all over him
Shaq is an all timer and top 10 but man, he really just does not like centers (Dwight, Javale, and Rudy) and some of them for no good reason (Javale). Definitely shouldn’t listen to him if you want good basketball analysis because he’ll just let his bias get in the way 😔
Patient zero
Shaq has a very Trump like mentality. No will not explain further.
Rudy should challenge Shaq to a game of 1on1. Televised. Winner gets $100k donated to a charity of their choice.
Obviously Shaq would need to decline because of his age/hips.
Rudy would get some bragging points and might quiet Shaq down a bit.
Shaq is basically a young boomer. He thinks that since Kareem was a dick to him and Shaq ended up being great, he should do the same to young players. It’s a dumb method and thought process.
Shaq gets very touchy about other Centers bc he didn’t fully optimize his abilities and he knows it. He’s insecure about other big men 🤭
Shaq dumb af.
Im sick of him crying about steve nash winning his mvp awards.
Fuck Shaq
Honestly good response
Imagine having all that and still being an insecure manchild like Shaq is, you can so often notice when he gets triggered and just gets personal. Reminds me of my old flatmate, but at least he was broke and working construction, Shaq has it all, but self confidence I guess.
Bro this response is weak af
Shaq’s ego matches his size. It’s more fragile than glass too. Dude’s a big, coping moron.
Great response by the big baguette.
this is why i say good riddance to inside the nba, this dude has no business covering the sport, hes just a old hater who cant even be bothered to watch the games or capable of actual analysis
i hope Ant lights people up all season on Rudy’s behalf when Gobert shuts them down in the paint. looking at you Lively
Shaq is certainly going to be civil in his response to this!
