Gobert - Wow

Shaq doesn't watch Jazz games. And taking a shot at a true center like he was, a dying breed in today's game to be sure, comes off as a bit douchey. But that's typical of aging ex-superstars, they throw young players all the accolades in the world, but the second they feel like someone is threatening their legacy - be it on court accomplishments, fame, $, etc... they get weirdly defensive and insecure.

IT also bears mentioning that, as someone who saw Shaq play at least a 100 times, the guy NEVER did anything on the court unless there was a statistical measurement associated with it.

He's my least favorite guy on Inside the NBA. In general it is just a douchey, immature thing to cut other guys down to build yourself up.
 
Imagine Gobert doing those post moves Allen has developed. He'd be unstoppable. I like Gobert, so don't get me wrong but I think it's the difference between becoming an all-time great and just having a great career.
