Adam Silver mocks Shaquille O’Neal over his league criticism: There was so much diversity in Shaq’s game

“In New York, it’s a tough team to play,” O’Neal said. “But that was the fear I had for Joel Embiid. You arrogantly announce, I’m not playing back-to-back, Ernie. I’m not hurt, but I’m sore. I’ll come back when I want to come back. “When you say that kind of thing, you have to come back with extra energy. 0-3, I would have been 0-15. But you know what you wanted to say. “Hey, Shaq isn’t playing well, but he’s playing aggressively.” The plan they have, it’s not working. And not only that, I say that with respect. Joel Embiid will never win a championship until he gets the right mindset and attitude.” -via Terrible advertising / 13 November 2024
