Shaquille O’Neal is not a big fan of four-time Defensive Player of the Year winner Rudy Gobert. In fact, he made a bold statement about what he’d do if Gobert makes the basketball Hall of Fame.

“I f**king hate Rudy Gobert,” said Shaq. “That motherf**ker makes $250 million and he doesn’t deserve it, dawg. F**k that. As the President of the ‘Big Man Alliance,’ if you’re making big money, play like a big man. If Rudy Gobert gets into the Hall of Fame, I’ll wear this dress to the motherf**king ceremony.”

 

 

 

Shaq’s words are a bit harsh. Still, Gobert has shrunk in big moments, time and time again. However, with his four Defensive Player of the Year Awards, he might be a lock for the Hall of Fame.
