Shaquille O’Neal hasn’t wavered away from his claim that the 2019-20 season shouldn’t go on and that the championship this season would mean very little to him personally. He also put Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs in his argument to prove his point.
The Spurs won the Finals in 1999, but the season did not start until February due to the collective bargaining between the NBPA and the board of governors. It resulted in a 50-game season.
Shaq doesn’t think the Spurs title means much because of the asterisk.
“I wasn’t into [the postseason]. And I would tell Mr. Duncan this to his face. You have four rings, yeah it says you have five, but the asterisks doesn’t count. Anything I do, I never want an asterisks about it.”
Shaq said that it, “wasn’t a real season.”
“I’ll tell him to his face, I’ll tell all of San Antonio to its face, you only got four. It’s an asterisks.”
San Antonio went 17-3 in their final 20 games of the regular season, and only lost twice in the postseason as they steamrolled through the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers, and New York Knicks.
