Shaquille O’Neal: Rudy Gobert is the worst player of all time

Shaquille O’Neal was a guest on *Complex* where he named Rudy Gobert as the worst player of all time, following a direct question.

It’s well known that O’Neal doesn’t have much respect for Rudy Gobert, and this was confirmed once again when the Hall of Famer called the Timberwolves player the worst player in NBA history.

When asked, “Who is the worst player of all time?” O’Neal bluntly responded: “Rudy Gobert.”

The four-time NBA champion then elaborated on his statement: “If you sign a $250 million contract, show me you’re a $250 million player (Gobert’s contract is actually worth $205 million).”

“There’s a reason I walk funny and can’t turn my neck, and that’s because I played for my $120 million,” he added.

“There are guys like him (Gobert) who break the system, make all that money, and can’t play. So I don’t respect those guys. Every time I make these comments, people think I hate him, but these are just facts.”

Shaq concluded by saying: “There are teachers, firefighters, and doctors who do real jobs and get paid almost nothing.”
