More on this storyline
Shaquille O’Neal: I think the greatest player is Michael Jordan. LeBron James is about to do something that hasn’t been done in a long time, and I think he will move his name up there. But for me, it’s always Dr. J (Julius Erving), Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and those guys. -via YouTube / October 5, 2022
Shaquille O’Neal brought up the topic of James and him closing in on Abdul-Jabbar’s record on the show “IMPAULSIVE” (at the 26:42 mark) and said that James passing Abdul-Jabbar’s record actually has him jealous. “LeBron’s about to do something that hasn’t been done in a long time and I think he will put his move up there,” Shaquille O’Neal said. “To pass up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I can truthfully say I’m jealous of that feat.” Although he said that Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever in his eyes, he had plenty of praise for LeBron James and the record he is about to break. -via Clutch Points / October 5, 2022

David Hardisty: Says @Jonathan Givony on ESPN right now of Victor Wembanyama: “Think Kevin Durant meets Rudy Gobert… honestly, I’ve never seen a prospect like him in my life. NBA executives were absolutely smitten with him. They walked out of that arena with a huge smile on their face.” pic.twitter.com/Gt01XO3KcV -via Twitter @clutchfans / October 5, 2022
Ben Golliver: Scoot Henderson on why he doesn’t feed into No. 1 vs. No. 2 talk with Victor Wembanyama: “I try to take nothing personal, actually. I read the book ‘The Four Agreements.’ I took that chapter and applied it to my life. … I don’t pay attention to that. I pay attention to winning.” pic.twitter.com/JYMlgllPTY -via Twitter @BenGolliver / October 5, 2022
Anil Gogna: How tall is Victor Wembanyama? One thing is for certain, it’s not 7’2. In the photo below he’s standing next to 7’4 Zach Edey of Purdue and he’s also towering over both Chet Holmgren on the far right listed at 7’0 and Nikola Jovic on the far left listed at 6’10. pic.twitter.com/SQoaijxqsN -via Twitter @AnilGognaNBA / October 5, 2022
