Paul George: “Joel, simple like, ‘You know, I’mma space the floor for you, I’mma do this, that, like there’s so many ways we can play off one another beyond.’ And I just, you know, like I said, I’ve never played with someone so big and dominant like that. You know, he’s the best or one of the best centers in the league, bro. Like, that’s a beast, you know, baby Shaq.” -via YouTube / July 9, 2024
However, Shaquille O’Neal posits that the legend who played for a lot of teams in the league should be given a shot. This is despite Basketball Reference only giving a 7% shot at actually getting in, via The Big Podcast with Shaq. “Despite all the BS, they put us through. You don’t have a championship, you don’t have a ring over here, forget all that. You were a great high school player, you were a great college player, you were a great NBA player, and I think you’re a Hall of Famer and worthy. That’s coming from the heart, not just because you’re on the podcast,” the legendary big man said. -via Clutch Points / July 3, 2024
