Shaq adds 2 GOATs to Michael Jordan, LeBron James conversation on Pat McAfee Show

As Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest big men of all time in the history of basketball, there could be some people who put him in the conversation of a top player in NBA history. O’Neal would address that point and especially his thoughts on who he thinks is in the greatest of all time (GOAT) conversation.

O’Neal was on “The Pat McAfee Show,” where he was initially asked about whether it’s unfair to compare eras, with the legendary player agreeing, using the example of himself and Wilt Chamberlain.

Then speaking about the GOATs of basketball, O’Neal said, besides Michael Jordan and LeBron James, he is putting Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry in the conversation, saying the Golden State Warriors star’s impact from deep is impactful.

“Try to put me up against a Wilt, his era versus my era, me personally, I think I would have completely dominated him. So I like to break it down by eras, but when you talk about that GOAT conversations, I would like to hear all the names, and I’m about to add one more name, because he’s unbelievable, rather just going Mike and LeBron…Got to put Kobe in there,” O’Neal said.

“And now I’m standing here on the Pat McAfee show, got to put Steph Curry in it,” O’Neal continued. “The only thing Steph Curry has not done that those other guys have done is the finishing dunk. Think about what I’m saying. Like all the other guys, they have a finishing dunk play, but Steph Curry, behind that line, the impact is similar to a finishing dunk, but you definitely got to put him as one of the greatest players of all time.”

"Rather than just going Mike and LeBron, … gotta put Kobe in there. … I'm saying it here on the Pat McAfee show, gotta put Steph Curry in there."
