Shaquille O’Neal criticized the current state of the NBA, calling it ‘s***’ and specifically targeting Ben Simmons for ‘robbing people’ with his performance. O’Neal expressed frustration with the lack of greatness in the league, highlighting players like Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo as exceptions. He suggested that Simmons should be arrested for his underwhelming play despite his lucrative contract, while defending Jayson Tatum’s abilities. Simmons responded to the criticism by dismissing it as baseless opinions.
