Shaq is without a doubt one of, if not the biggest critic of Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert. Recently, the Hall of Fame big man spewed out more slander towards the three-time Defensive Player of the Year winner, which drew a hilarious reaction from Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant.
For starters, here's what Shaq initially said about Gobert. This time around, the Los Angeles Lakers icon set his sights on how Gobert's massive contract, which makes him one of the highest-paid big men in the history of the game:
“You think I'm happy Rudy Gobert's making 250 [million]? … God damn right we get mad, we get petty,” O'Neal said.
Apparently, KD thought this was funny. The Nets star clapped back at Shaq, reminding him of how he's literally much wealthier than the Jazz big man:
“Shaquille is hilarious. You’re a billionaire bro lol,” Durant wrote in his tweet.

Durant has a point here. Then again, I'm pretty sure that if Shaq were to respond to the Nets star here, he would likely say that this is his point exactly. O'Neal made his fortune in the NBA (although he accumulated more money post-retirement) as one of the most dominant big men this game has ever seen. In short, he deserves it. On the other hand, it does not seem like Shaq thinks the same of Gobert and his $250 million deal.
