“I’m Jealous LeBron James Will Pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!”: Shaquille O’Neal Voices His Desire to Be No.1 on the All Time Scoring List
Shaquille O’Neal may have played with LeBron James, but he still considers his rival Michael Jordan the greatest player of all time.
Shaquille O’Neal played a lonely season with the Cleveland Cavaliers before moving on to his last team, the Boston Celtics.
That year showed what kind of player LeBron James was becoming, and Shaq was very impressed.
But it wasn’t enough to make him say, “Greatest of all time.” On “Impaulsive” with Logan Paul, she said just that. As great as LeBron was and continues to be, Michael Jordan will continue to be the greatest of all time, according to him. He was greeted with raucous cheers from the crowd for that statement.
But Shaq only saves his praise for the best, just ask Dwight Howard. Any kind of compliment from the great man proves you’ve made it. Getting Shaq’s stamp of approval may be enough for some, but not for would-be GOAT Bron.

Shaquille O’Neal wanted to be the guy to let Kareem through.
The big man in pajamas admits that he always wanted to be the guy who would outshine Wilt Chamberlain and Jabbar. Shaq played like the most dominant big man in history, and he wanted the records to prove it. However, he fell short of Wilt’s record by 1,500 points, refuting his claim to the throne.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record is something that everyone who buys the latest copy of NBA 2K wants to break. Seeing someone do that in real life is, of course, a fantasy come true. All basketball fans will experience that moment vicariously through James, although one person will be green with envy.
Shaq has played in a rainbow of uniforms, so he could wear Celtics green the day Bron breaks the record for most points. He would match the shirt well, just for that day. Jokes aside, he knows how special James has been from day one and is very proud of his accomplishments.

LeBron James is on track to pass up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most points, will he move up the ranks like the GOAT?
All the talk about being the GOAT will have an interesting twist this year. LeBron James is on pace to have more points than anyone and more assists than Magic Johnson, all in the same season. Will breaking these two records take you to the pinnacle?
According to the player-turned-GM, no.
But according to fans of the man from Akron, it’s just icing on the cake. He may not finish his career with more rings than even Draymond Green, but No. 23 will be retired from the entire league one day. For whom, that remains to be seen.
