Few sports debates are as entertaining and enduring as those that center around a hypothetical five-on-five basketball game or series featuring all-time NBA greats. On Sunday night, one of those same greats–Shaquille O’Neal–waded into the treacherous waters of NBA Twitter to fire off his own take.
Ever one for stirring up controversial discussion, O’Neal shared a graphic on social media that pitted five of game’s retired all-timers–Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and the Big Diesel himself–against five players currently tearing their way though the league–Stephen Curry, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
