On the other hand, there are those who think that numbers don’t reflect the true nature of the game. Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane Wade don’t see eye to eye about statistics.

Shaq and D-Wade disagree on stats

Former NBA champions Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal discussed the importance of numbers. Wade noted that it could be an important reflection how players are performing during the game and through the season. However, Shaq chimed in and noted “When you get older, there’s only one individual stat – you want to win championships”.

Shaq and D-Wade went on to banter back and forth with each other. It appears as though despite their disagreement, their friendship is still intact. The two players played together during their time with the Miami Heat. Both players brought out the best in each other as they attained great success with the franchise.
