Shaquille O’Neal says LeBron James isn’t ring chasing—he’s chasing greatness “I don’t like y’all calling my man a ring chaser. I don’t think it’s fair. The people that don’t have rings are the ones saying, ‘Oh, he’s a ring chaser.’” “No. He’s continuing to chase the chance to be...

If you aren't trying to get a ring, why are you even playing sport? What's the point of competing if you aren't trying to win? People are dumb fr

@0xBassey I agree. Everyone’s either chasing rings or money or minutes and ain’t nothing wrong with either

Disagree. He definitely is ring chasing when he knew pretty well @sixers are his best chance at getting a ring. Easy choice. Easy move. His decisions have ALWAYS been the Easy route. He *runs* away when the tough - gets tough. Jordan and Kobe stayed and fought 🧐

Except this is ring chasing. LeBron is at the end, he knows it. He wants to stat pad and try to get at least his 5th ring. He could tie Kobe in his retirement year, he’ll never tie Michael, nor will he ever be greater than Michael.

Coming from the ultimate ring chaser. Shaq tried to land a fifth ring to catch up to Kobe so he definitely will be in LeBron’s corner for this. It takes one to know one. Ring chasers at its finest. He still puts Mike ahead of LeBron as GOAT so all you Bron groupies relax

Chasing rings or chasing greatness. Shaq can call it whatever he wants, but it’s a distinction without a difference. MJ never had to chase. One Team. Six Rings. Two Three-peats. That’s why he’s the GOAT.

theres nothing WRONG with ring chasing, its just not as good as building your own legacy with a team. if you want to be in the goat debate you should take the better option.

Dum8 take by @SHAQ. If Lebron was chasing greatness then he would have never lefr Cleveland and would try to win there. He’s clearly ring chasing and hoping another chip will give him greatness when we know it wont even if he wins 2 more since he took the easy cheat way out

Jordan came back after he retired and won more 82 game seasons than LeBron won in his entire life

Shaq isn't really defending Bron, he's defending himself bc he did the same thing late in his career.

The problem is that’s all he’s done. And his precedent ruined the league

Not ring chasing if your expected to be a major contributor and the team isn't a contendor without you. Haters know the difference, they are just pretending not to. If lebron isn't any good, this team won't win.

The difference is Bron brought the attention to himself. Disrespected the past legends, calling himself the greatest, he's era is harder, more skilled, and more talented. Maybe true but that's up to fans to argue about. Thats what separates him from legends like you, Shaq.

On the lakers he was stat padding, now he’s ring chasing .. which is which? Charles Barkley’s career was more of a stacked roster than any other basketball player today yet he has the guts to criticising LeBron.

It’s not fair? This bitch said he’s going to do what his daughter wants and then he just lied about that. Lied about everything always.

If MJ didn’t chase a ring but happened to follow Phil to LA he would have 9 rings. Is that chasing rings or wanting to play for Phil - the more LeBron talks the more he sounds like Kamala

Shaq says LeBron joining the 76ers wouldn’t work because of one thing Host: Philadelphia is waiting to explode, and if he delivers it, this city will ride for LeBron. Shaquille O’Neal: And that’s why it’s not going to work, in my opinion. Tyrese Maxey just worked his ass off to become the man, then Bron comes. Now we got Joel Embiid, it’s too many egos. Three or four people are going to have to say, “All right, you go.” Host: Tyrese Maxey is the guy who I think deserves almost all of the credit for LeBron going there. Embiid has already publicly said, “It’s Maxey’s team. He’s the franchise.” I think LeBron is at that stage of his career where he’s not going to fight. He’s trying to win. Shaquille O’Neal: Not about fight, LeBron likes the ball. Likes to touch it. Host: He also loves making the right pass at the right time. Iman Shumpert: That’s the thing that’s cool about them. It’s 48 minutes, and Bron’s not trying to dominate it for 48 minutes. Shaquille O’Neal: Okay, but hold on. If you touch the ball for six, seven, eight seconds, Bron’s not a catch-and-go with it. When was Jaylen Brown’s best year? Iman Shumpert: Last year. Shaquille O’Neal: Okay, when he had the ball. He’s not going to have that. Iman Shumpert: It’s hard to say, “Coming off my best year, I got to put my ego down.” Shaquille O’Neal: Exactly. Iman Shumpert: Kevin Love was 40 and 20, people! Shaquille O’Neal: On paper, they look deadly, but I’m just trying to think ego-wise. Iman Shumpert: I don’t think they got no ego left. You just want a ring, you just want to win at this point. Shaquille O’Neal: Once I got my name for myself, I’m not stepping back for nobody. Iman Shumpert: That’s why you were Shaq. That’s why you got four of them.
