Shaq rips Shannon Sharpe after criticism for that awkward Nikola Jokic MVP interview, starting up some beef

Move over, Kendrick Lamar and Drake. We have some new beef to discuss.

Shaquille O’Neal’s awkward interview with Nikola Jokic went viral for all the wrong reasons — he told the now-three-time MVP and said he thought Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should have won. Jokic took it in stride, but it wasn’t the best.

Shannon Sharpe proceeded to go in on Shaq on The Nightcap podcast, talking all about how O’Neal was envious of a big man getting that many MVPs and discussing why the former center isn’t in the GOAT conversation.

That triggered O’Neal, who took to Instagram with a lengthy rebuttal, and WHEW.

Here’s the Sharpe clip:
