Shaquille O’Neal Hypes Up Street Baller With Comparison to Warriors’ Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry has transformed modern basketball. Irrespective of what the old-school players think of the usage of the three-point line, the Golden State Warriors’ leader has left every basketball enthusiast spellbound with his game. Arguably the most dominant big man in league history, Shaquille O’Neal is one of the biggest fans of Curry’s game as well.

In his recent Instagram story spree, Shaq shared a reel. In the clip, a local hooper was seen getting hyped up by everyone after sinking a heavily-contested three-pointer off the dribble. The reel was captioned, “He turned into Steph Curry FTW (for the win)”.  Have a look at the screenshot of Shaq’s story.

Well, to be fair, that shot was pretty impressive. Safe to say, Shaq would never be able to replicate it, even though he is the self-proclaimed “Black Steph Curry.”

Shaq calls himself the “Black Steph Curry”

Shaq was one of the most dominant players in NBA history. However, connecting merely 52.7% of his attempts from the foul line, “Superman” was a horrific shooter. In fact, throughout his 19-year career, the Hall-Of-Famer recorded only a single three-pointer. But this doesn’t stop him from calling himself the “Black Steph Curry.”

As absurd as it sounds, the two-time scoring champ frequently calls himself the “Black Steph Curry” as a joke.

Kenny: “Steph Curry is black”

Shaq: “Steph Curry’s light skinned, I’m black”

Shaq’s shot looks a lot better now than it was in his playing days. However, he still has a long way to go before he can compare himself to the Warriors star.
