Shaquille O’Neal was a player whose days we still talk about. His dominating presence on the court was an object of fear for the opponent team. Shaq has done many things post his retirement. He has been an analyst, a pro wrestler, an actor, and everything in between. O’Neal also hosts a popular podcast called ” The Big Podcast with Shaq.”
Nischelle Turner & Spice Adams joins Shaq each week to go big on everything from music and sports to what’s trending in pop culture. They discuss basketball mainly and have done good enough numbers to survive almost a year. Shaq’s entertaining personality makes the podcast work, along with the witticisms of Nischelle and Spice.

Shaq has said about this, ” When you are in sports, there are two sides. The guys that are in it and the fans. What Chuck was saying was that when you (Durant) were at OKC. You were the man, the pressure was all on you. Then, he made a move to team which already won 72 games. That wasn’t your team. It was Steph’s team and Klay’s team. Yeah, you were the best player but you had a lot of room being on that team.You could roam around being on that team. Now, back in Brooklyn, you are the guy driving the “bus”. I have been swept five times in my career. What this means you were not good. You individually might have been, but the team was not. Your the leader of the team. All falls back on you. That’s what he meant by that.”
He mentioned how he was the “bus driver” in Miami but couldn’t cope with it and hence gave the “keys” to a young Dwyane Wade.

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets have been eliminated from the NBA Playoffs in the first round itself. The Slim Reaper didn’t take kindly to those comments. He started posting stories of Barkley playing for the Houston Rockets with Hakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen in 1999. Then, he posted a pic of Chuck with Tandem and Clyde Drexler. After that, he posted one where Chuck was in the Sixers alongside Julius Erving, Moses Malone and Maurice Cheeks and has the caption ‘Where would chuck be without the big homies’.

Many on Twitter warned him not to go that way. But in typical fashion, Durant called himself a God against an “army of producers”. The Chuckester has reacted to this in his typical fashion.
Charles Barkley criticised this act of his and now his co-analyst Shaq has also joined into the act. Is it time for Durant to apologize? See this space for more.
