Shaquille O’Neal didn’t mind at all giving Giannis Antetokounmpo the ‘Superman’ title and admitted the Greek is better than he was.

Shaquille O’Neal was an unstoppable force on the court during his career and he sees a lot of that in Giannis Antetokounmpo as well. It’s been a while since he gave up the ‘Superman’ title to him and Shaq doesn’t miss a chance to praise Giannis:

“He’s better and that’s why I gave up my Superman title to him. But you know what? He works hard, he’s a humble kid and works hard. He doesn’t just come and show up and expect people to say: ‘Oh, he’s the next one’. This kid actually works and he’s earned it. He’s deserved it and he’s earned my respect so I’m giving it to him. To answer all the questions: ‘You’re right, the kid is better than me at 24′”, O’Neal said on ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’.

Shaq also explained the difference between them: “He’s better because he has more opportunity to showcase more. I was a post player and the only thing I was allowed to showcase was my domination but he’s running the floor. I did that early, I stopped doing that because I stopped getting the ball when running the floor so I turned into a half-court dominant player”, he said.
