Michael Jordan will be joining NBC as a special contributor for the 2025-26 season, and Shaquille O'Neal doesn't want anyone to call him a hater, regardless of what he says. In a recent interview with Ashley Nevel, O'Neal was asked if he thought Jordan would praise today's players, and he had a clear message for them.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal said Michael Jordan can criticize any player as an NBA on NBC analyst because he's the GOAT.

First of all, if anybody says Michael Jordan is hating, you're an idiot. This man is the only man on earth with G19 classification. G19, higher than the president of the United States classification.
