Shaquille O’Neal and Scottie Pippen got embroiled in a social media showdown Monday that made us all wish that both men could still play in the NBA.
The NBA greats got into some serious off-the-court trash talking that started when O’Neal played a hypothetical game of what if, by asking fans who would’ve won if all of the Lakers greats from every era got together and played the Chicago Bulls stars from every era.
“We would beat em by fifty,” claimed O’Neal.
It was on from there.
scottiepippenSorry @shaq but I don’t get caught up in hypotheticals. All I know is we won 6 titles, twice the amount you claimed while in LA…
Shaq’s response was nasty, and not even close to being on point, but it was still a rough shot.
shaqSorry @scottiepippen I don’t believe in hypotheticals either, but I seen most of those final you did ok , but this guy did most the work .
#youwereok steve kerr and Ron harper deserve more credit than you , remember I WAS BATMAN YOU WAS ROBIN , I was PUFFY YOU WAS MASE…
Shaq wasn’t done there either.
shaqAnybody need a T MOBILE SIDEKICK. I GOTTa PRETTY GOOD ONE #BESTSIDEKICKEVER
Pippen also highlighted that Shaq was a sidekick at times as well, making a valid argument.
scottiepippenSpeaking of being a sidekick… if I recall correctly you know a thing or two about that as well. @shaq
The question now, is who won?
Both men are legends, with Hall of Fame resumes who played with some really great teammates in their day. O’Neal was the more dominant of the two players, but Pippen has six rings, and played an intergral part in winning each one.
