Basketball Hall of Famer and NBA on TNT analyst Shaquille O'Neal paid Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry the ultimate compliment Thursday.
Appearing on The Big Podcast (h/t Hoops Hype) with TNT colleague Kenny Smith, Shaq referred to Curry as the "best player in the world."
O'Neal explained his rationale behind the declaration, noting that greatness is primarily measured by winning championships:
"Yeah, by far. Hell yeah. As Kenny Smith would tell you, you can have a category, but the real ones are recognized by the championships that you have. Nobody plays better than Steph Curry.
