Shaquille O'Neal Lists Top NBA Players Including Julius Erving

Shaquille O’Neal recently released a Netflix documentary titled "Power Moves," highlighting his role as president of Reebok Basketball alongside Allen Iverson as vice president, aiming to revitalize the brand by signing current NBA and WNBA stars. In the documentary and other media, Shaq shared his humility by ranking his top 10 NBA players of all time, placing Sixers legend Julius Erving among them but removing himself from his own list. Erving, a Sixers icon, was praised for his MVP awards and the 1983 championship, cementing his status as one of the greatest small forwards. Shaq's legacy as a player is also noted, especially for his transformative impact on the Orlando Magic and his dominant championship runs with the Lakers, winning four titles and three Finals MVPs. Despite media reports of emotional moments during the TNT farewell of "Inside the NBA," Shaq clarified that his reaction was due to eye allergies rather than emotion, emphasizing his disciplined and unemotional demeanor shaped by his upbringing. He will continue his involvement with "Inside the NBA" as it moves to ESPN and remains active in NBA coverage and business ventures.
