When and Why did Shaquille O'Neal get beef with Shannon Sharpe?
Shaquille O'Neal has been very active speaking his mind this week, first telling Nikola Jokic that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deserved to win the 2024 MVP award over him. This situation rubbed many people the wrong way, including Shannon Sharpe.
The NFL legend has earned a notable spot among the NBA media and didn't hesitate to respond to O'Neal. Sharpe questioned O'Neal's work ethic and said that he could have gotten 40,000 points if he had trained as hard as Sharpe did.
This didn't sit well with Shaq, who took to Instagram and sent a lengthy message to the NFL Hall of Famer, trying to diminish his accomplishments and saying he never wanted to be the GOAT. He just wanted to be the most dominant player in NBA history.
Sharpe admitted that he wasn't as good at football as Shaquille O'Neal was at basketball, even naming Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Gates as better tight ends than him. Still, the Denver Broncos legend explained that he had no problem with that since he put in all the work he needed to be great, contrary to what O'Neal did in his career.
