Nikola Jokic responds to Shaquille O'Neal arguing that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 'should have been MVP'

Shaq is a straight-shooter and you can always count on the Hall of Famer to tell it as it is. This is exactly why the four-time NBA champion made his opinion about Gilgeous-Alexander being more deserving of the MVP title over Jokic abundantly clear:

You have to say, the man has a point.

Nikola Jokic Claps Back at Shaq

Not only is Shaq an honest fellow, but he also has no fear when it comes to telling people the ugly truth. This is exactly what went down on Wednesday night as O’Neal told Jokic to his face that he believes the MVP title should have gone in a different direction.

Jokic quickly clapped back at Shaq by saying that “it’s fine” because “it’s his opinion.”

Jokic immediately said that he was joking, which prompted a light-hearted moment between himself and O’Neal. To be fair to Shaq, he also made it clear that he meant no disrespect to the Nuggets superstar, and that he just tells it as he sees it.

Respect.
