Retired NBA player-turned-TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal was not like everybody watching Luka hitting a game winner on Sunday. On Sunday, Luka posted a 43-point triple double and the game-winner in OT vs. the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 4.
After the series-tying game, the Inside guys reflected on Luka’s game-winner and went crazy about it. While Ernie, Chuck, and Kenny all seemed to have loved how Doncic stepped up and hit the dagger, Shaq didn’t seem too excited about it.
“I just said calm it down a notch,” Shaq replied, when Charles Barkley questioned his lack of emotion. “He’s great but I’ve seen that before,” the Big Diesel said. While the rest of the crew mentioned the special talent that Luka has, Shaq simply said, “He nice, he can play.”
“So you’re doing all the talking at a high level. Is he [Luka Doncic] the top guard?” Shaq asked. “James or him? Steph, James, or him?” Charles Barkley was left speechless and then Shaq further continued by saying, “Damian, add him in there.”
“Listen, I’ve seen that before. His name is Steph Curry. I’ve seen that before. His name is James Harden. I’ve seen it all last week. His name is Damian Lillard. Just calm it down a little bit,” uttered Shaq.
