Recently, Shaquille O’Neal and Scottie Pippen traded insults, barbs or whatever you want to call them with one another over titles and which all-time team, Bulls or Lakers, is the best.
During their Twitter/Instagram exchange, I noticed a picture someone put up of Shaq throughout his career, and it dawned on me — this guy has played with some of the best players in the NBA, yet has only four rings.
Yes, I know, four rings is plenty, and many players that have retired or still playing would love to have one ring, but this is Shaquille O’Neal we are talking about. As he likes to look at himself, the greatest big man to ever play the game.
Should he have won more rings? Yes, without a doubt. And here are my reasons why.
