In recent months, Victor Wembanyama has been the subject of numerous more or less criticized statements from Shaquille O’Neal. Accustomed in particular to comparing him to Bol Bol, the legendary pivot once again made viral remarks about the Frenchman recently.
Particularly vocal and critical about big men since his retirement from the floor, he has not deviated from his principles this season.
Not only to put pressure on Spurs regarding him , but not only that.
Shaquille O’Neal thinks big for Victor Wembanyama
Author of always very strong opinions to which he rarely returns, O’Neal has for example distinguished himself by comparing Wembanyama… to Bol Bol on multiple occasions.
This has even been the case recently and has once again earned him some criticism .
However, this is not enough to encourage the legendary kingpin to be more measured in his opinions, like the one he has just delivered in his Big Podcast :
Adam Lefkoe: Between Paolo Banchero, Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Haliburton, do you think any of them can make the grade?
Shaquille O’Neal: First of all, they are not in the same category. Paolo can go from “very good player” to “star”. Ant’ is already close to “superstar” status. Tyrese, since no one is looking at him, can really take it to the next level.
With that clarification made, Diesel delivered the other two names he believes can become superstars in the near future… and includes Wemby:
Shaquille O’Neal: You forgot a name: SGA. Like Luka (Doncic), he is a player who plays at his own pace. And what would happen if he accelerated this pace? He would go even higher. So for me it would be Tyrese Haliburton, SGA and Victor. I have to mention it.
Words that should please him and encourage him to continue his current good momentum.
In the meantime, Internet users couldn’t help but bring Bol Bol back into the discussion with humor:
Shocked he didn’t say Bol Bol

Shocked Shaq didn’t say Bol Bol
For Shaquille O’Neal, Victor Wembanyama is one of three young players capable of establishing themselves as superstars in the near future. This is all the harm that can be wished for the French prodigy, who is in any case taking the path.
