Shaquille O'Neal Takes Aim at Rudy Gobert: 'I'll Wear This Dress if He Makes the Hall of Fame!'

It’s widely known that Shaquille O’Neal harbors negative feelings toward Rudy Gobert, the Minnesota Timberwolves center and a four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, tying him with legends Ben Wallace and Dikembe Mutombo for the top spot in the league's history. O'Neal, a four-time NBA champion famed for his physical play style, has long critiqued Gobert’s less aggressive approach, labeling him as “soft.” In a recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” O'Neal didn't hold back, expressing disdain for Gobert's lucrative earnings despite what he perceives as mediocre stats. He audaciously claimed he would don a dress if Gobert were to enter the Hall of Fame, reflecting his strong disapproval. Despite the differences in their playing styles, Gobert's defensive skills have solidified his position as a leading rim protector. With a strong chance for Hall of Fame induction, the ongoing debate about their contrasting careers continues to resonate in the basketball community.
