Shaquille O'Neal enters Jordan, LeBron and Wembanyama debate: His ceiling could render that complete

Publish date: 2024-06-24

Everyone is aware that Victor Wembanyama has got the potential to become one of the all-time greats in the NBA now that he is with the San Antonio Spurs, even if it may take a little bit of time.

This is something that Rachel Nichols discussed on the latest episode of 'Undisputed'. She suggested that Wembanyama actually has a much higher ceiling than the players who are regarded as the greatest that there ever was.

"We've been sitting here for what, a decade, debating MJ versus LeBron. The ceiling of Victor Wembanyama is that he could render that completely mute," she said.

"This ceiling of this player is so high that after the game, we talked about all the records that he either set or tied. And you've got names like David Robinson and his first five games. Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James. Victor Wembanyama's ceiling, I'm not predicting he's gonna definitely get there, but his ceiling is higher than every single one of those three gentlemen."

Shaquille O'Neal seems to agree

Shaquille O'Neal has weighed in on this debate by sharing an image on his Instagram story of Nichols' comments.

He did not actually add any of his own thoughts, so many are taking it to mean that he is in agreement with Nichols on her assessment of Wembanyama's talent.

O'Neal recently made headlines because he was comparing Wemba to Phoenix Suns player Bol Bol.

On TNT he said: ""Bol Bol is the first 7-foot-4 guy that we've seen come out with the handles, shoot the three's, yes. Ya'll acting like ya'll ain't never seen a guy like that before. Bol Bol is the first guy."
