Rudy Gobert Forces Shaquille O’Neal to Deliver Sad Verdict on Stephen Curry’s Warriors During Playoffs

“So I’m going with Golden State” said Shaquille O’Neal before the commencement of the Warriors-Timberwolves series, thereby sealing his prediction. However, this was before Stephen Curry sustained his hamstring injury, since the Lakers legend believed that there weren’t a lot of bodies to cover the 3-point leader. Since Steph became absent after Game 1 onwards, however, the tide turned in favor of Anthony Edwards and Co. The same tide also forced Shaq to switch his allegiance, as praise for the Warriors was all he could deliver recently.

By half-time of Game 5 between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, the latter team was leading 62-47. It was a clear sign that this would be the last game for the Warriors in this ongoing tournament. This led to Shaq focusing more on his praise for the Wolves rather than the Bay Area squad, stating, “Expected Anthony Edwards to go up, but it doesn’t matter when you have Julius Randle and ‘Rudy Abdul Gobert’”. Yup, you heard that right.

Shaq really said “we’re changing his name, Rudy Abdul Gobert, he’s played well.” O’Neal further added, “Anthony Edwards is doing a good job sending the ball to the right places. I agree with Chuck, it’s over for the Warriors”.

Yikes! At least lay it a bit easy, sir.
