Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal joined Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson on the Scoop B Radio Podcast. One of the most dominant centers shared his views on the modern day NBA centers who turned into good shooters but avoid playing inside.
According to Shaq, older bigs like himself consider such playing style as soft. At the same time, he admitted that the game is changing and different generations are playing differently. All he can do is give advice to the younger guys.
Per Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson of Heavy:
“It depends on what type of big man you’re talking about. See the title ‘big man’ is anyone at the five position, right? So you know, I hear people say,Oh big guys can shoot. The game is evolving…us older big guys don’t look at it as evolving. We look at it as soft. Because guys don’t want to get down there and bang. Which is okay. You know, new era new generation, I can’t tell them how to play, I can’t tell them what to do.”
