Shaquille O’Neal: “I got no problem with the recent Dr. J’s GOAT List, but mine is MJ, Kobe, Lebron, Magic, and myself top 5. To round out the top 10 I’ll add Kareem, Tim Duncan, Karl Malone, Isiah Thomas, and Steph Curry.”

Shaq always changes his mind, for the last 5 years he keeps saying Hakeem is the best center ever but now he doesnt have Hakeem in the list. The problem is that there are five additional players who have a case for the #10 spot. Soon we will have to start ranking GOAT by position.
What did Larry Bird do to this man?
Bro said Isiah Thomas lmao.
Got the top 4 correct.
He was a better free throw shooter than list maker.
Bird not in anyone’s top 10 annoys me.
r/NBA: try not to get pressed by an NBA player’s Top 10 list challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Let him cook guys HAHAA
To say that Magic is top 5 but Bird isn’t top 10 is crazy. If the 80s sucked that much then Magic fucking sucks too. They’re literally synonymous at this point. They cannot be more than a space or two apart.
No wilt or Russell
Putting yourself in a top 5 list will always bug me.
Be humble
1st lineup: Shaq – Duncan – LeBron – MJ – Magic
2nd lineup: Hakeem – Garnett – Bird – Kobe – Curry

Shaq’s top ten changes every other week
Isiah Thomas top 10 is fucking crazy ngl.
Shaqtin’ a Fool.
Shaq’s bottom 5 of his top 10 is decided by retired players he’s seen most recently.
He completely lost me when he included Malone.
No Bird is crazy
Downplaying everyone that plays his position and no Bird cos he’s white lol
I mean why does everyone care so much where people rank other players
No Larry Bird is atrocious. The disrespect is ridiculous. He’s clearly better than Magic
I think it is an example of how ridiculous it is to rank the best NBA players of all time. It doesn’t ever really happen in the other major sports. Different eras and different positions make a huge difference. No matter how many stats you pull out of your ass there’s just too many variables that make it impossible to come up with a unanimous listing.
That being said I’d definitely hold the opinions with actual player and executives way higher than pundits and fans.
PS Kobe always gets ranked in the top 10 by players that competed against him so deal with it.
The Isiah Thomas disrespect is crazy people acting like hes a scrub; ik he aint top 10 but damn its not like hes far off
Agree Shaq! Kobe my top two as well ! He has a many cases for goat to.
Isiah Thomas over Wilt and Bird is crazy
Isiah and Karl malone. Gtfo Shaq
If you don’t have Bird and Wilt in your Top 10, you should never open your ignorant mouth about the sport of basketball.
Shaq is really fucking stupid.
And Karl Malone over Hakeem Olajuwon? Put down the angel dust.
Get Malone and Zeke out and put Bird and Wilt in then it’s a quite decent list.
I don’t take much Shaq says seriously.
Bird has to be in there. Get Isiah out of there.
Top 10 players ever, shaqin a fool edition lol Isiah and malone over bird wilt and Hakeem. Crazy talk
Obviously the list is nuts. Having Kobe above lebron is wild. But no Hakeem, Bird, Wilt or Russell is just disrespectful.
No Celtics. I like it
I know Karl is despised here, but that MFer is absolutely a top 15-20 all-time player
does anyone actually think Kobe was better than Duncan? that is insane
Karl Malone over Hakeem is wild. Kobe over TD is stupid.
Bird > Isaiah
