Its hilarious hearing shaq talking about guys being sensitive when hes like the most sensitive player ever

[KASTON]

Glad to see everybody commenting saying Shaq straight up lying.. he never was joking when it came to Dwight

[AboutGreekss]

Cap, Shaq was 100 % serious when calling out Dwight over the years. He saw Dwight as a threat for many years, that’s my opinion atleast

[kicknowledgesmith]

Nah Shaq saw Dwight as a threat to his Orlando big man legacy and hated that he put on that Superman cape, and he seems to be threatened by Joker.

[renegade]

Shaq won't admit to the fact that he likes to be a bully as much/if not more than he likes to be a motivator.

[supremeleem]

This guy got a different story everytime someone asks him this question 😂

[antoniotruong]

When the person you're having "fun" with doesn't think its funny means it ain't "fun".

[xjudoflip]

I just can't take Shaq serious when he calls other people sensitive, when he is so sensitive himself.

[rudimerm]

The Superman title irked Shaq. At the end of the day, Shaq is a big kid.

[Matthew-xlbc]

Shaq destroyed Dwight’s image and was the reason why Dwight didn’t make the top 75 list. Shaq is an all time great but he will be forever a clown for that.

[Iceman-xejo]

JJ looking at Shaq like “this guy makes no sense”

[likjam]

Shaq went after every big man that was getting attention

[killerecho]

Never called him out/it was a joke/it was out of respect/motivation/he's being sensitive/it was never personal...bro just checking off every gaslighting technique out there in the first 2 minutes.

[DespicableBunny]

i love how the comments are no longer buying the bullshit. i hate how jj doesnt even make an attempt to contest shaq's lies

[JTD]

Shaq has the G14 classification on sensitivity for sure.
Also has it for rewriting history

[mel_mudkip]

He was jealous lol. “Big man alliance “ 😭😭😭😭

[chrisolivo]

I think it started over a dumb reason as Dwight was being called Superman and Shaq wanted that moniker. I love Shaq but I think he’s petty sometimes and is very insecure about his legacy.

[nb]

Shaq the most sensitive guy out there. Chuck makes 1 comment and Shaq asks him how many rings he got.

[jake-qntl]

Because he's a jealous, insecure, petty dude

[ono]

I always enjoyed Kenny Smith pushing Shaq's buttons every time he introduced Dwight with a "Superman is in the building!". 😂
