It’s no secret that NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal dislikes Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert. After their elimination from the playoffs, Shaq destroyed Gobert for being ineffective on both ends of the floor. He also said that he would score 12 points on him in three minutes. After Gobert said he would lock the Big Diesel up, Shaq has responded and by the looks of it, it doesn’t look good for the Frenchman.

After Shaq said he would destroy Gobert if they ever went 1v1, Gobert responded by commenting, “I would lock his a– up.” Many fans disagreed with him and said that Gobert wouldn’t be able to hold his own against the Lakers legend.

Shaq posted a clip of his most devastating dunk in response.
