Shaquille O’Neal Stands By LeBron James: He’s The Greatest

LeBron James has been at the receiving end of criticism following the Los Angeles Lakers’ elimination in the first round of the NBA playoffs at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, but Shaquille O’Neal came to his former teammate’s defence.

It was the first time that James has lost a first round series in his career, with many fans and critics lamenting his performances on social media.

O’Neal stressed that he was criticised too when he was a player and stood by James, whom he labelled as the finest of all time.

“Actually, they talked down on me, comes with the territory and just like LeBron our legacy is in forever mode #Lebronisthegreatest,” O’Neal wrote on Instagram.
