00:05
I don't like to rain on people's parade, but I'm not happy with this one.
00:10
Congratulations to Joker, you're the best big man in the league, but
00:13
based on everybody's criteria, my criteria, stats, that stuff.
00:18
You guys criteria, number one seed, which team has a better record?
00:22
I felt Shea Alexander deserved it.
00:25
>> I think a part of Shaq, he might not ever admit this, but
00:28
Shaq see these guys winning these MVPs, they're a little envious.
00:31
Because, and I don't care, look, I understand that Shaq got four titles and
00:35
he has three finals MVPs, but Shaq know deep down,
00:41
we should be having a discussion for go Shaq.
00:44
Shaq name has never brought up in the discussion.
00:47
I know for a fact, if Shaq would have had, let's just say,
00:51
if he had my work ethic, he'd have 40,000 points.
00:55
>> Mojo, that was the setup for the beef that I don't think anybody saw coming,
00:59
involving two of the greatest athletes that we've seen in American history and
01:03
two of the most prominent voices in media, sports media at least, right now.
01:09
Shaq and Shannon Sharp, of course, Mojo.
01:12
That first was Shaquille O'Neal, right before they presented the MVP award
01:18
to Nicola Jokic the other day on Inside the NBA.
01:22
Well, Shannon Sharp then responded to what Shaq had to say.
01:27
Now, this did not get past Shaq.
01:32
Shaq heard about this and actually went to social media and
01:35
clapped back at Shannon Sharp.
01:37
Now, it was a really long message.
01:39
Go to the TMZ Sports website if you wanna see it in its entirety.
01:42
But here's a part of what Shaquille O'Neal had to say, and
01:45
it's pretty tough stuff.
01:47
I know you're trying to stay relevant by gossiping on your podcast.
01:51
We don't believe you.
01:52
You need more people, and in case you forgot, four rings, three finals,
01:56
MVPs, top 50, and top 75, Google me.
02:00
And to be quite frank, all this new success you got, you're still under me.
02:05
You don't know my work ethic, but according, I work less than you, but
02:09
I'm worth more than you.
02:11
Make it make sense.
02:12
Love you too.
02:14
If you need help making money, it's better ways than gossiping.
02:18
I'm too old for this bleep.
02:21
Love always, the most dominant big man ever, who never took it serious.
02:27
So their mojo, that's again part of what Shaq had to say back to Shannon
02:32
based off what Shannon said on his podcast.
02:34
Now, Shannon has since responded on social media.
02:39
We're not even gonna talk about that mojo because Shaq really dropped a big bomb
02:43
here because Shannon actually woke up the rapper in Shaquille O'Neal.
02:48
Shaquille O'Neal has released a diss track taking aim at Shannon Sharp,
02:53
I guess, inspired by Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
02:58
Here's some of that song.
02:59
>> Oh no, Shannon Sharp, man, you way beneath me.
03:03
Your whole demeanor is faker than new rapper Beefy.
03:06
You're soft before you get fly, you rather tweet me.
03:09
I was in three different cars when you was in three feet.
03:12
All I see is dollar signs, they come in in 3D.
03:15
Make it hot, ain't no way around my degree.
03:18
You are not in my spot, you are like a peewee.
03:21
Shula got him calling me Rocky the way I re-read.
03:24
I get to the green bag, I don't mean a lawnmower.
03:27
Jet flying, four-wheel driving, Best Buy and Don Pora.
03:30
>> I didn't see this coming, Mojo, I'll be honest.
03:32
>> Hey man, Shaq was just looking for a reason to revamp his rap career,
03:37
now he just got him back on track.
03:40
>> Yeah.
03:40
>> Hey man, this was interesting, Babcock, we talked about this yesterday, right?
03:44
I mean, hey, Shaquille O'Neal has paid a lot of money to give his opinion.
03:50
And his opinion is worth a lot, not only because of what he did on a court,
03:54
because of how articulate and intelligent he is.
03:57
A lot of other people have paid for their opinions as well, and
04:00
not everyone is always going to see eye to eye Shannon Sharp giving his opinion
04:06
on the matter, maybe he made it personal, and maybe he meant every single word he
04:11
said, I believe that he did, and you know when you do that,
04:15
the situation is just gonna get exacerbated.
04:18
Shaq came back with his opinion and so on and so forth, and
04:23
who knows how this is gonna go, but I don't know, Babcock, I don't know.
04:27
I'm just not seeing this as a personal attack.
04:31
I mean, I don't see any of these guys getting too upset about this thing.
04:34
I mean, they're on air, they're gonna give their clap back, they can handle it.
04:38
They got tough skin, right?
04:40
I mean, we see these guys mix it up all the time with some of the biggest
04:43
trash talkers in the game, and it's fine.
04:46
So we're reaping the benefits here with a little rap track and
04:50
having a little fun here.
04:51
But I mean, yeah, I don't know, it gets a little personal when you start talking
04:56
about each other's legacies, but I can't say neither of them opened the door for
05:01
it, you know?
05:01
>> Yeah, and look, but at the end of the day, they're both a hall of famers,
05:05
the greatest, some of the greatest athletes in their respective sports.
05:09
>> Sure, Shaq was better than Shannon was as a football player, but
05:12
Shannon, one of the best.
05:14
I'm curious to see here if Shannon releases his own diss track.
05:18
I don't think Shannon has rapped before, I hope he starts now.
05:21
>> Yeah. >> Get in the studio, Shannon.
