Shaquille O’Neal is undoubtedly one of the most dominant players in NBA history. He’s unafraid to join the debates about his status among the all-time greats.
On Sunday, the former center responded to an unsourced list of the game’s top-10 players. O’Neal rounds out the rankings at No. 10, right behind former Los Angeles Lakers teammate Kobe Bryant.
While he doesn’t mention who made the rankings, that didn’t stop Shaq from expressing gripes.
“Y’all agree with this? I DON’T.. KOBE #9 and me #10??? Hell to the nawwww,” he wrote on Twitter.

It’s unclear if he’s mad about ranking below Bryant or believes they both deserve higher billing. Yet it’s hard to take much umbrage about falling behind some of basketball’s biggest legends.
Micahel Jordan edged out LeBron James for the No. 1 spot. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, and Magic Johnson rounded out the top five, followed by Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, and Tim Duncan.
Virtually unstoppable in his prime, Shaq averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks during a career that culminated with four championships. He and Bryant formed arguably the greatest duo in NBA history.
It’s fun to argue about objective rankings, but the order of some random list ultimately doesn’t matter.
