In a recent segment of Inside the NBA, Charles Barkley asked O’Neal if he would take Bol over Wembanyama, which prompted the Diesel to give a simple response
an age where big men acquiring guard skills becomes more common, the NBA has seen its fair share of unicorns in recent years — seven-foot giants who can comfortably bring the ball down and create their own shots with moves akin to that of a ball-handler. Just take a look at Victor Wembanyama for example. Standing at 7’4 with a wingspan of approximately eight feet, Wembanyama’s skill with the basketball is unusual for someone of his stature. While the San Antonio Spurs big man continues to rack up the numbers, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal made it clear that he would still choose another similar player over the rookie: Bol Bol of the Phoenix Suns.
This led to disbelief and lighthearted laughter from O’Neal’s co-hosts. Still, Shaq would stand by his stance, adding that the Suns have a better record than the Spurs.
“Bol Bol’s better because the team’s got a better record,” O’Neal said. (via Bleacher Report and TNT
