Shaq calls Rudy Gobert the worst NBA player ever. Rudy responds

[CHICAGO]

But that’s because the league makes billions of dollars - billions more than the players are ever paid and they produce the value on the court. If the league had no salary cap, SUPER max players would be making 100 million + per year and we really only 10 years away from that with the cap consistently rising.

Shaq is being a hater and he’s jealous. It’s not Rudy fault he was born 20 years after Shaq and gets to eat in this era. You never heard guys like Moses Malone or Robert Parish or Artis Gilmore hating on Shaq when he was making more in a year than what they made their whole careers. Hell they never made half of what Shaq made on 1 contract in their entire careers combined but they helped pave the way for Shaq to get his contracts as the league grew and Shaq did it for Rudy and it’ll continue with the evolution and growth of the game.

Rudy has 4 DPOYs maybe he doesn’t deserve one or two of them but it’s not like he a BUM. He goes out there and competes hard every game even if getting cooked and is a good teammate. The GMs pay what he worth in the NBA - they don’t HAVE to

SHAQ WAS BETTER THAN
ALL OF THEM
SO HOW COULD THEY HATE?

IF RUDY WAS A GREAT PLAYER
MAKING THAT TYPE OF MONEY
SHAQ WOULDN'T BE shytTING ON HIM.

IF THERE WAS NO MAX SYSTEM
THE TOP PLAYERS WOULD GET
PAID THEIR WORTH SO THAT
MANY WOULD STILL BE SPENT.

BRON WOULD HAVE BEEN
MAKING 100M A YR
WHILE GUYS LIKE RUDY
WOULD MAKE 15

Rudy and Ben obviously not the worst players ever but I get why oldheads got animosity. Imagine bein a player like Shaq even a Alonzo Mourning or shyt even Brad Daughtery and you seein players you was WAY better and more talented then, you put in real work on ya game while they skillsets at least on offense the same as they rookie seasons aint improve shyt and they get these $200 mill contracts. You can say its corny or wrong and I get it but I understand em too we get inflation an all that but Daughtery made $20 mill for his career while bein a 5x all star, 2x All NBA in a golden age of position had top 10 MVP finishes and you at home seein this fraud Baguette Biyombo cant attack a mismatch or beat 6'2 guards who switched on em on $200 mill contract I'd be sick

Shaq always been one of the most insecure people ever though so not surprisin and he know alot of older era players so he probably voicin they shyt too on a bigger platform

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Shaq one of the biggest hoe ass nikkas that ever walked the earth

So because Shaq is a better player than Rudy it gives him a right to shyt on him at every turn and talk about the man’s pockets? That’s madness bruh.

Shaq is jealous and a hater and Rudy still gonna make 300 million+ without having to whore out his name for goofy brand deals and stupid commercials

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Rudy a bone head but he ain’t the worst nba player ever.. Shaq is buggin

 

[Yayo Toure]

Shaq such a petty dude. You can see why the Lakers have to get him off the roster.

 

[Easy-E]

At this point; I know it's an act. Shaq left Dwight alone as soon as he was done in the league, tried with Ben and Ben kinda checked him.

Rudy is his way to stay in the news cycle.

 

[NYC Rebel]

More NBA player hate

 

[MJ Truth]

A more politically savvy player would have avoided or danced around a question like that.

Nothing good comes out of bashing a younger player.

Sure, you understand that Shaq will speak his mind but just because you could doesn't mean you should.

I think Rudy responded well.

Y’all are soft. Shaq is criticizing these guys no different than the way he used to get criticized before he started winning. These are max level players. They need to use the criticisms as motivation to get better like the real superstars do.

 

[hood b. goode]

I just watched a Charles Barkley interview where he talked about how WNBA old heads stay hating on caitlin clark without a shred of irony

Inside The NBA birthed this culture. First Take as well kinda, but shaqs made it his lifes work to rip on javale mcgee and gobert

 

[Youngdev]

Why does he keep bashing rudy every chance he get

He did the same thing with dwight back in the day


Makes him look lame as fukk


I seen Derek lively trying to shyt on Gobert too, like lil nikka who are you.

Rudy gonna let this dude shyt on him

 

[Houston911]

Shaq helped make it possible for the nba to get to a point where people like Rudy get overpaid in a flawed system

He can talk about his pockets

A larger portion of nba money should go to retired players

 

[Recca Gatsby]

He's right about Gobert though. Dude is fukkin Awful

 

[cartierhoe]

Comparing Rudy Gobert to Ben Simmons is wild lmfao

That's an insult to Rudy, who's been getting picked on a lot. I know players don't like him but this shyt has BEEN corny.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Shaq knows how to stay beefing with current players is good
