Shaq Admits He Used To Be A Steph Curry Hater

Shaq is no doubt one of the most outspoken commentators the NBA has ever seen. When it comes to criticizing the league’s young players the man doesn’t hold back. As such, it should come as no surprise that Shaq has an opinion about one of the NBA’s star players – Golden State Warriors PG Steph Curry. Shaq recently appeared on the “All The Smoke” podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson and admitted he wasn’t always a fan of Curry’s game. It took him a while to realize how great Curry actually is.

Shaq’s reasoning for hating on Curry early on is definitely an interesting one.

“I used to hate on him early on in his career,” Shaq said.

“(I’d say), ‘He ain’t gonna make that,’ but he kept proving me wrong and that’s why he’s my best player.

“I like being proved wrong, so my message to these young cats: When I say something, prove me wrong.”
