It gets real in the E-streets.
Earlier today, Shaquille O’Neal took to his Instagram account and posted a photo of himself in a Lakers uni, alongside Laker greats Magic, Kareem, Kobe and Elgin Baylor, stating that he feels the 5 of them in their primes would demolish a Bulls team consisting of MJ, Pippen, Derrick Rose, Rodman and Horace Grant. He even went as far as to say they would “beat em by fifty.” Every true sports fan is always down for a good debate and apparently Hall Of Famer Scottie Pippen is no exception, and he voiced his opinion.
Pippen was quick to remind O’Neal that the Bulls dynasty hoisted 6 championship trophies, double what Shaq and Kobe won together in the early 2000s. Things went left though, as Shaq hit below the belt. Not only did he call Pippen a sidekick, but also said that Steve Kerr and Ron Harper deserve more credit than him for their contributions. Shaq even through in a Puffy/Mase reference for good measure. Check out the back and forth below.

I’d go with Shaq’s 5 on this one. But not by 50. – Rocko Rathon (@Rocko_CNK)
