Miami Heat champion and NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal, found himself in the middle of a Twitter war recently. The question, who’s better, him or Tim Duncan?

Former Miami Heat champion and all-time great, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, is no stranger to publicity and the public eye.

A larger than life character in any arena, the giant NBA megastar was also pretty active in the film industry, music industry, has since ventured into becoming a spokesperson for many reputable brands like IcyHot or The General car insurance, and into the lane of media to become an NBA talking head. 

With all that going on, it’s no surprise to ever see his name trending online or on social media. This time, however, the situation was a little bit different.

Years removed from his actual playing days, one popular NBA Twitter page brought up an interesting conversation recently that thrust the former Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers champion back to the top of the conversation. Here is the tweet.

Well, it may seem like a tough question at first and because it can be, but the answer is a clear one. Let’s dig into it a bit to see what we can come up with.
