Former Los Angeles Lakers superstar Shaquille O’Neal has chosen words for former Lakers star LeBron James and New Orleans Pelicans’ cornerstone Zion Williamson over their refusal to participate in the NBA’s Slam Dunk contest during the All-Star weekend. Talking to the Boardroom podcast, O’Neal is pissed to see the slam dunk contest deteriorate because of the lack of star power in the competition. “I got absolutely sick and tired of being involved as a player and fan watching the NBA dunk contest,” Shaq said. LeBron has long been pushed to participate in the dunk contest, but he never relented, even when he was in his physical prime in the 2010s. Yet, he remains outside the dunk contest radar since he came to the league in 2019.
