“I don’t celebrate seventh place, I celebrate him”: Shaq heaps praise on Stephen Curry by taking a dig at Lakers

Shaq on Stephen Curry

No hoop fan needs an introduction upon Shaq’s favouritism for Los Angeles Lakers and his love for the purple and gold. However, the recent struggles of the Lebron James led side have hampered the expectations of many. Moreover, with the name being changed from Staples Center to Crypto.com Arena, Shaquille O’Neal feels needs a new team and player to pay all attention to, and it is none other than Stephen Curry and his charismatic Golden State Warriors. 

On the most recent episode of his own podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, the Hall of Famer shared his true feeling upon the LeBron led Lakers and even discussed, how badly they have been performing, failing to string together a series of wins. On the other hand, when asked upon which player he currently focus upon, Shaq took little time to heap praise upon the 3-point king, Stephen Curry.

“I’m not even going anymore,” Shaq said about the Staples Center name change. “No, I’m not. Who want to watch them people play?” 

“I don’t celebrate seventh place at all. I celebrate Stephen Curry. That’s who I celebrate. I can go to Golden State and watch him play,” Shaq said. 

Having said that, to credit the credential of Stephen Curry, Shaq does have a valid point. After not being able to make it into the playoffs last season, the Dubs have made their way raging back in the 2021-22 season, with all the player who can just fit perfectly alongside one another to fill the voids quarter after quarter.

On the other hand, the Lakers might have had a star-studded squad listed on paper, but with Russel Westbrook leading the charge in turnovers, the purple and gold army have failed to close out several games. As a result of which they have just won only 14 games yet.
