Shaquille O’Neal defends Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bucks once again

Shaquille O’Neal has defended the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Few months ago Shaq relinquished the “Superman” nickname to Giannis, which was a huge gesture of respect coming from the Hall of Fame center, considering how he rejected the idea of Dwight Howard being referred to as the “Man of Steel” during his prime years. And O’Neal came to the Bucks’ defense on ESPN’s First Take recently.

“Let me tell you something, don’t disrespect the champions because all these teams got big-name players. Give the champions their due respect.   "He (Giannis Antetokounmpo) did it the right way; he did it the respectful way, I’m going to give that man all the respect till they beat him. The new Superman is going to be a problem in the east. Period. I said it.”
