O Neal: McGrady can win three consecutive championships if he replaces Kobe and my partner. If I join forces with Curry, he can win six championships

On July 19, O'Neal responded to the previous remarks of Arenas and McGrady on a podcast program. He agreed with McGrady, believing that McGrady could win three consecutive championships by replacing Kobe with him. O'Neal also added that if he can join forces with Curry, he can win six championships. The host asked O'Neal: "There was a statement before that when Kobe won three championships, he was always compared to McGrady, who had zero championships. Arenas said, 'People don't respect the second leader very much, they only respect the first leader, the second leader is like a passenger'. This is an allusion to you, Kobe is a passenger. Do you think this statement is fair and accurate? From your point of view, you played with Kobe at that time. Ball.”

O'Neal replied: "Many times, a sentence can be interpreted as positive or negative. What he said is actually right, but Kobe is not an ordinary 'passenger', which is his special thing. Now I can say that it doesn't matter who is the boss of the team, but don't make mistakes about who is the leader in your life. Having said that, what he said is right, and people respect Kobe."

" It's boring to argue, Kobe is crucial to my three championships, I can't do it alone. In some series, he has a greater role than me. I did what I should do, but if he didn't do what he should do, can we win three championships? It's hard to say. I dare to say proudly that I can win one championship alone, but three? It's impossible. After I left, it's difficult for him to win again. Later, they introduced two seven-foot-long men (Gasol and Bynum) to achieve my goal. The role of time assisted him in winning two more championships. "

" So what Arenas is right, but it may be interpreted as negative. Many fans say 'You win three championships because of Shaq', and some people say 'You win three because of Kobe'. I often see people posting posts saying 'You say Shaq leads Kobe, and then puts Kobe's data and says he averages higher than me'. We are mutually accomplishing each other, like a combination of punches." '

" for a long time Come on, I have never seen any boxer who can use one hand to KO his opponent. I have seen all kinds of play, I have seen them lay the foundation first, and then suddenly exert force; I have also seen them lay the foundation many times before bursting out. That's how we are - I will lead this game, he will lead that game, and there are some games we both work together. When the critical moment, I will stand up and he will stand up."

"Trecy Mike Grady is right, I always think so. Think about it, if you want to switch positions... Then I ask you, do you think if I partner with McGrady, I can win three championships in a row? "

" I officially declare that McGrady is a tough guy. But you have to understand that when McGrady is alone on the court, he actually doesn't have much room to operate. The guys in our team have enough space to play because there are three people staring at me. Yes, three people defend me. McGrady is always double-teamed, and even three people are Four people surrounded and suppressed. As for Kobe, Kenny Smith, always said that Kobe has never been double-teamed by two or three people. He can freely shuttle on the court and perform as he pleases. So I think what McGrady said is right. He is indeed a ruthless person; I believe what Arenas said, but it may be misinterpreted as a negative meaning. But McGrady is definitely a ruthless person, and there is no doubt about this."

" McGrady's score The ability is top-notch, you can score as much as you want. Remember that game against the Spurs? It was that classic moment, which scored four three-pointers in a few seconds. McGrady was indeed a ruthless man, but he really didn't have much room to play at that time. I agree with what McGrady said, someone might criticize him, but I always felt that if I partnered with McGrady, I could win three championships in a row; if I partnered with Vince (Carter), I could win two; if I partnered with Stephen (Curry), I thought I could win six.
