Shaquille O’Neal Calls Out Team USA, Says He Didn’t Pay Attention to Olympics… More details below 👇👇👇
Shaquille O’Neal just dropped a bombshell, calling out Team USA and admitting he didn’t even bother to watch the Olympics!
Hall of Fame former NBA center Shaquille O’Neal has taken umbrage with the occasional close games Team USA played during its run to a fifth consecutive gold medal in this month’s 2024 Paris Olympics.
Granted, the Americans did go undefeated (11-0) between their five friendly exhibition games and their six contests in competition. But the U.S. did barely eke out a semifinal game win against Team Serbia (the eventual bronze medalists), after trailing by as many as 17 points, and only led Team France (the eventual silver medalists) by three points within the final three minutes of their gold medal victory.
During a recent episode of his show “The Big Podcast With Shaquille O’Neal,” the 2000 MVP explained why he tuned out on Team USA.
I’m not even paying attention to the Olympics,” O’Neal claimed. “I have a dominant personality. I don’t care how you are, whatever. My cousin Kenny just had this argument upstairs. My cousin said, ‘The world is getting close,’ but I don’t think it is. The fact that [USA Basketball won a warm-up game against Team South Sudan by just a point, 101-100], you only beat South Sudan by one. Come on, bro. That’s never supposed to happen.”
