re: Jokic MVP

I am a huge Shaq fan, but he takes pettiness to a new level in these types of things.
Big man is an all time great and there likely won’t be another like him, but he can’t stand that other bigs are getting recognized because of the game being changed. If Shaq could hit a free throw consistently, he may have been the greatest of all time, but he just couldn’t get over that hurdle.
I honestly think a lot of the overblown love for Kobe after his death has also rubbed him the wrong way. People try to prop up Kobe now undeservedly simply because of his untimely death. He was an amazing player, but the credit he is being given now is just stupid.
Kobe could not win anything without a dominant big man for example. Hell, in his second set of titles he needed two and had to have Pao saved his arse in their last Finals only to see Kobe undeservedly get Finals MVP.
In the end, Jokic was significantly more deserving than the others and SGA, while playing great this year, is not that dominant. You keep posting his stats compared to guards in rankings yet Jokic has more assists than him as a center that doesn’t control the ball nearly as much as SGA. Jokic is responsible for more points per game than SGA.
Kid is good and it has been a phenomenal run for OKC, but I would not be shocked to watch them be a sub 4 seed in the coming years consistently.

First words out of his mouth when interviewing Jokic were “congrats to you but SGA should’ve won”
Seriously man? What a dick
Has another marquee player even congratulated him yet? It’s crickets, I don’t get it
I hope Jokic puts up 40,20, and 15 tomorrow night and shoves it down their throats

In the podcast they said, Shaq only has Shaq to blame for not winning more MVPs....he was famously lazy, would get massively out of shape in the off-season to the point Kobe and Phil Jackson constantly complained about it which caused the riff...Lakers should've won 5 titles in a row....but Shaq always had to "work his way into shape" during the season.

Same for me, I was 9, 10 and 11 while he was at LSU. He’s the only reason I followed the NBA and was a Magic and Lakers fan while he was with both teams. As far as looking up to an athlete as a kid, he was the only for me. However, he comes off like a bitch made pussy in these situations, because this isn’t the first time he’s cried about crap like this. I know how some people on this board feel about Shannon Sharpe and his podcasts but the fact that Shaq felt the need to call him out because of his opinion just proves how petty Shaq can be. He’s a great person, great ambassador for LSU, damn sure a better human than most Ex-NBA players but when he acts like a child like he’s currently doing because of the MVP award he comes off like a Bitch.
