Even though Shaquille O’Neal is frequently praised for his generosity, he is not very tolerant when the topic of his NBA legacy comes up. Shaq, who is widely considered to be the most powerful man to have ever played basketball, takes pride in his “G14 classification.” However, the large guy acknowledges others when they deserve it.
On his stories, he posted a reel from Instagram creator “iballright” [Daniel H] that contrasted him with Denver Nuggets player Nikola Jokic in a number of categories. The well-known maker is well-known for using bowls filled with water to create videos.
Daniel had two bowls for the two players in the video. The volume of water that was poured into the bowls indicated how good the player was in that particular area. In the video, Daniel implied that Shaq lacks Nikola Jokic’s “scoring bag” and “basketball IQ.” It’s safe to assume that Shaq agrees with the creator because he posted it on his Instagram story without adding any additional commentary.
Shaquille O’Neal and Nikola Jokic comparison
Daniel began by comparing the two in terms of “scoring,” giving Shaq the advantage over the MVP winner. The big man also won in the following categories: domination, defense, athleticism, and—most hilariously—”taking things personal.”
The Serbian, however, took the cake in free throws and passing. Both, however, were utter failures at “dieting.” Even in his heyday, Shaq’s shooting range was extremely constrained. This was among the things for which he received criticism. However, Jokic is able to shoot from about any spot on the court, including three-point range.
Shaq also lost in the basketball IQ category. The Lakers legend’s dominance stemmed solely on his physicality, despite his dominance in his era. Jokic has the ability to read the game, stop plays, and change tactics as needed. These two are among the finest big men in the history of the league, regardless of the rankings.
