In a surprising declaration, NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal has diverged from popular opinion, naming Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the league’s best point guard over Luka Doncic.
Shaq’s bold statement came during a recent discussion, where he expressed his admiration for Gilgeous-Alexander’s style of play, emphasizing his ability to involve teammates and play the game the right way.
“I’m gonna have to take [SGA]. Luka is a fabulous player but this kid? He plays the right way, gets his teammates involved… I’m taking him right now… He’s a hell of a player right now,” Shaq boldly stated.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, currently leading the Oklahoma City Thunder, has been putting up remarkable numbers this season, averaging an impressive 31 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in 34.5 minutes per game.
In contrast, Luka Doncic, known for his exceptional skills and versatility, ranks second in the league in scoring with an average of 33.6 points per game. Additionally, he contributes 8.1 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 36.8 minutes per game for the Dallas Mavericks.
