Shaquille O'Neal bids farewell to "Inside the NBA" on TNT but will continue with the crew on ESPN in the 2025-26 NBA season. As a former player with impressive accolades, including four championships, O'Neal shared his top ten NBA players list, placing LeBron James at number three and Kobe Bryant at number two, reflecting on his history with both players.

O'Neal emphasizes Bryant's five championships over LeBron's four, though LeBron holds four MVP awards compared to Bryant’s one. He lists Michael Jordan as the all-time greatest, followed by legends like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, while notably omitting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This list reignites the debate among fans about the greatest NBA player of all time.
