NFL side Tampa Bay Buccaneers have released their wide receiver Antonio Brown after he took shots at the team. Brown made remarks about the Buccaneers after his bizarre exit from the game on Sunday. NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has shared his own experience of facing a situation like Antonio.
Shaq was one of the best players of his generation and won four championships. However, it wasn’t easy, as he went through thick and thin to deliver championships to his team. Antonio Brown created controversy last Sunday when he went off the field during the Buccaneer’s game taking off his uniform.

The 33-year-old wide receiver then reportedly claimed that he was too injured, but was forced by the team to play. However, the Buccaneers finally terminated his contract yesterday. Shaq, who spent 19 seasons in the NBA, opened up on facing a similar situation in the course of his career.

Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal recently appeared for an interview on ‘The Buzz’. During the interview, host Madison Brodsky asked Shaq if he was ever injured and still was asked to play. To this, Shaq replied: “All the time, and I took shots and I can’t walk now from it.”
“But, you know, my game, a lot of sacrifices had to be made for me to get to the point where I’m at. So those stories will never come up and I’m never complaining because long as I can do this (shows his hand), is all that matters,” Shaq added.

Shaq was one of the most hardworking players of his era. He is known as a player who never gives up despite the circumstances. Shaq helped the Lakers win three consecutive championships during the early 2000s and won another with Miami Heat. He was dominant on the court and never allowed anything to influence his game.
