NBA stars Rudy Gobert and Shaquille O’Neal are embroiled in a war of words after O’Neal called Gobert the “worst player of all time” during an interview.
The comments came during an interview with O’Neal’s son, Myles, for Complex. O’Neal also criticized Ben Simmons for not living up to his hefty contract.
Gobert took to social media to fire back at O’Neal, suggesting the Hall-of-Famer is “triggered” by other players’ success. Gobert pointed out his own accomplishments, including a recent Defensive Player of the Year award and a lucrative contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
