Brook Lopez makes $24 Million a year and his stat line this year is *checks notes* 12/5/1. 3. Deandre Ayton is putting up the same stat line that Shaq mentioned and he's getting $30 million a year.

For those of you that didn't grow up with Shaq, he's always been like this. He thinks a center making more money than him or getting any sort of attention is somehow a critism against him.

Honestly, Shaq would get torched in todays game. He would get 6 offensive fouls before half-time and if he didn't he definitely wouldn't be able to guard the best players in todays league on the perimeter like Gobert or Wemby.

Rudy is 14points 13 rebounds & 2 blocks. That’s a max contract in every era of basketball.

[@urbaindelva7869]

Rudy's impact cannot be measured in numbers.

[@Linesweeper]

Rudy is one of the weirdest players in my mind. He got overpaid and it made people think he was overrated, but I've only heard people describe him accurately or as dogshit, I've never heard anyone overrate him. I honestly think his years in Utah is one of the most impressive defensive stints as he basically solo held a decent defense for years.

I just wish you’d sit with Shaq and have this conversation. See how’d go. People pick at Shaq like he doesn’t know the game or something. The man is one of the greatest to ever do it. He knows basketball. His thoughts on today’s game is because guys like gobert aren’t built like him and he doesn’t score. Him getting so much money for just being a deterrent probably seems bizarre to a guy who was such a generational talent like Shaq. If the rules were changed to a more aggressive physical game I’d be interested to see Gobert’s impact on the court. If he’d be in the paint banging around.

I think he is overrated on defense too tbh like just a lil bc he could be more impactful on defense I prefer ad or Giannis

[@niqowyd]

He’s been the anchor of a top rated defense for the past 7 seasons. Always top of the league in opponent paint fg% and guess who people take the least paint shots against??

[@destinedforgreatness3030]

@@niqowyd I’m not saying he ain’t good but his defense ain’t so amazing to where it’s like Ben Wallace to where it is resulting in a championship or deep playoff runs

[@niqowyd]

@@destinedforgreatness3030 I just replied to another dub who brought up Ben Wallace lmao completely different team and era. Do people just forget Ben had another good ass rim protector next to him in Sheed? Rudy got KAT next to him😂

[@unphantom173]

the hate around him is still so unnecessary he can't control being given a 100 million contract what they give is what you take and his given a great contract he be dumb to reject it and mfer hating him cuz of it no other center is hating on rudy other than shaq this guy still beefing with dwight when nobody cares about it anymore

[@niqowyd]

@@destinedforgreatness3030 numbers say he has better defensive impact but if you wanna dumb it down and bring up a ring from 20 years ago sure. Ben didn’t have to play Jokic in the 1st round lmao

[@timothyojukwu9718]

In last year's playoffs jokic averaged 26/12/9 on 58% TS against gobert. Against Bam it was 30/14/7 on 67% TS😅
