Shaquille O’Neal was a force of nature on the court, and over the years, many superstars in the league have mentioned how they felt Shaq was impossible to guard in his prime. It is safe to say, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has impacted the game in a similar way, by completely changing the direction of the sport with his video game shooting. A huge fan of Curry, the self-proclaimed ‘Black Steph Curry’, Shaquille O’Neal, was recently forced to make a bold admission live on air by his friend Charles Barkley.
