NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal and Mario Chalmers discussed player rivalries, the fear LeBron James instills, and the LeBron vs. Jordan GOAT debate on “The Big Podcast.”
Shaq highlighted players’ fear of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, contrasting it with the lack of fear towards LeBron.
“Including myself, I feared Mike. I’ve heard players in your generation say they feared Kobe. I’ve never really heard any player say they fear LeBron,” Shaq said.

The conversation delved into the backlash Shaq faced for this opinion.
“You know, I got killed for that. When I first said that, people killed me for that,” he said.
Shaq’s post-basketball career has been centered around his active media presence and advocacy for social and political issues, particularly in law enforcement and community relations.
