Shaquille O’Neal is regarded as one of the best big man to ever play the game. He has a number of awards including league MVP in 2000, so why does he still have a grudge about that season? Sports Gossip had details.
Shaq recently sat down for an interview with Kristine Leahy on FS1. During the interview Kristine brought up the fact that Shaq was one vote short of being the NBA’s first unanimous MVP in 2000, he received 121 out of 122 possible votes. Who was the one person to throw their vote away?
Fred Hickman was the man who ruined history and it sounds like the “Diesel” will never forget. You can see Shaq really is still upset and even calls him an asshole in the interview. That year Hickman decided to vote for Allen Iverson.
Safe to say Shaq will never let this one go. Flip the page to watch a clip of the interview.
