After LeBron James’ GOAT Case Takes a Hit, Shaquille O’Neal Posts Reminder to His 30.7 Million Followers About Being The Most Dominant Ever!
The Los Angeles Lakers were handed a Western Conference Finals exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. Following the loss, LeBron James and his case for the GOAT are being questioned. After all, he failed at the penultimate leg. But, while the NBA world reviews his legacy, Shaquille O’Neal has taken the opportunity to remind everyone, including his 30.7 million followers that he is TMDE.
TMDE or The Most Dominant Ever is an acronym that has become synonymous with Shaq. The Hall of Fame center was an unstoppable force that gave many NBA defenses nightmares. But, a TMDE debate isn’t as entertaining as a GOAT debate.
So, every once in a while, Big Diesel likes to remind people of his glory days. This time his reminder came in the form of a short Tik Tok video that he shared via his Instagram. All while the world scrutinizes King James’ case as the greatest of all time.
Shaquille O’Neal reminds everyone he is TMDE in the wake of questions being asked about LeBron James’s GOAT case
LeBron James’s 20th season in the NBA was supposed to mark his ascension to the status of GOAT. After breaking the scoring record at the age of 38, all he needed to cement his legacy was a fifth championship. However, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets put that to rest after they swept the Lakers 4-0.
Now, with his entire career up until this point being questioned, Shaquille O’Neal has decided to insert himself into the debate. After all, he is popularly considered the most dominant player in NBA history. And, he is now reminding everyone of this in the wake of King James’ failure.
The Big Aristotle took to Instagram, sharing a video from Tik Tok showcasing some of his best highlights. Not the first time he has used his social media platform to remind people of his status as TMDE. Here is his Instagram post below.

It certainly isn’t the first time Shaq has tried to throw his name into the GOAT debate, and nor will it be the last. But, it’s important to remember that both he and The King bring different things to the table.
Both Shaq and LeBron have dominated the game in their own unique ways
Shaquille O’Neal has been adamant about his role as the most dominant player of all time. He was a strong powerful center who had the strength to make grown men look like kindergarteners. Truly one of the greatest players of all time. However, that does not take anything away from LeBron James. The King is a GOAT in his own right, an all-around superstar capable of doing everything possible on the court. A true genius of the game.
