Shaquille O’Neal names his Top 5 rappers as basketball players.
The basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal recently did a live stream with Fat Joe where he was asked about his Top 5 Rappers dead or alive. Shaq refused to reveal his Top 5 rappers because some people might take it personally but he named 5 rappers as basketball players with different positions on the court.
“I don’t wanna do that because I’m friends with all you guys and these days when stuff comes out people take it a little personal. I don’t want it to be personal,” says Shaquille. “I love all y’all so I don’t wanna rank it. But since you asked this question… At the point guard, you’ve got Lil Weezy. At the shooting guard, I’ve got Em. At the small forward I got Jay-Z. At the four I got Pac. And I got Big at the five.”
“Lil Wayne is the point guard for the team. Controls the ball and ensures that it reaches the correct player at the right moment to run the team’s offence. Steph Curry, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson.”
“Eminem is a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers. Scores for their team and defends by stealing the ball. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade are three of the best basketball players in the world. Jay-Z is a small forward who plays in the NBA. Players that are capable of both scoring and defending points. James Worthy, Julius Erving, Larry Bird. 2Pac is a group of four rappers. In a zone defence or a man-to-man defence, the power forward plays offensively with their backs to the basket and defends defensively beneath the hoop in a zone defence or against the opposing power forward. Tim Duncan, Karl Malone Anthony Davis. The five Notorious B.I.G.s The centre, often known as the big man, is generally the team’s biggest player and is praised for his or her ability to defend the team’s goal while scoring at a high rate.
