The internet has finally agreed on something…Shaq owes Jokic a public apology.

[@TreyJaySoSway]

Shaq’s ego is way to fragile to ever apologize

[@Arrogan28]

100% Remember when Kanye West grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift, and blurted out that Taylor didn't deserve it because 'Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.' Implying that somehow it was impossible for Taylor's video to be as good. Shaq giving the award to Jokic and saying to him in that moment that he thought he didnt' deseve it, was almost the exact same insanely disrespectful and honestly clearly racists thing to say. I usually don't go for the racist side of things, it is injected far too often into situations that don't call for it, but in the case of Ye dis of Taylor's work in favor of a black artist, and similarly Shaq made up all these reasons why Jokic was not as good, meanwhile every state he brought up, he was wrong in, and Jokic was either tied with Gilgeous-Alexander, or actually had the better stats. Proving, like Ye, that Shaq hadn't even bothered to look up Jokic's actual numbers, and you only do that when you are dismissing him for some other reason besides how good a player he is. And frankly it really points to Shaq letting his personal issues, ego, past hurts, and yes racism, get in the way of him doing his job as a supposed NBA analyst. He came across as a giant egotistical baby... Sad, I used to really respect Shaq, the work he does with kids, etc. I just lost so mmuch respect for him recently... I seriously used to think he was one of the best Basketball Celebrities, and admired his charity work, etc... but man, I can't respect a guy who picks the moment Jokic is getting the reward he clearly deserves to attack him, it's just hugely disappointing and if he doesnt' honestly apologize. I will have no more time for him... I really enjoy Barkley's commentaory on the game, but I'll watch their show, if it means suffering and watching this version of Shaq, the hurt baby version...

[@filipe.sm31]

I think his opinion is valid (even though I disagree), but it was so inappropriate to say it to Jokic's face right after announcing he won the MVP award. He owes an apology

[@Jerm0116]

For what, he didn’t lie.

[@filipe.sm31]

@Jerm0116 just because you're telling the truth doesn't mean you aren't being disrespectful. For example, if at your wedding your mom says in front of everyone that she wishes you married your ex, that's a true statement, but very disrespectful to you and your wife

[@dannynhl9441]

@@DefenderOfLogic You know other players have more rings than Jordan right? I watched Jordan play live for years. Amazing player but other great players prior to him and in other sports that did wonderful things. If Penny and Shaq didn't beat them in 1995 then Bulls go to the finals and Hakeem gives Jordan his L on his finals record. Jordan stans need to start thanking Penny and Shaq for keeping Jordan's final record safe.

[@tomassadil324]

​@@DefenderOfLogicJordan also had the best defender and best second man in the league, and his team compared to Jokic' was stacked. If Jokic would have anyone as dominant as Rodman or anyone as consistent as Pippen, he'd have hand full of rings already.

While SGA scored more points, Joker was leading in the most of the other stats including advance stats. Joker also played 20+ games without Murray and still tied for the best record in the west. Also, SGA shoots way mote FT than Joker and Joker was a top 10 scorer himself this season.

I honestly think it’s because of ego, Jokic as a center is doing things that he could never do hence why he hates and always supports players who play like him. And all of the center he supports are less good than him so his legacy is still intact. He’s scared jokic will replace him as the best center.
