Shaquille O'Neal was one of the NBA's most memorable power forwards, mostly because of his intimidating style.
Since his retirement, O'Neal has moved to the other side of basketball and is a regular commentator and analyst.
The basketball Hall of Famer gave his take on one of his favorite players in the game: Steph Curry.
In the latest episode of his podcast, which was also attended by commentator Kenny Smith, Shaq said that the Warriors' point guard is the best in the world, without a doubt.
"The really good ones are identified by the number of championships they have," O'Neill said.
"No one plays better than Steph Curry. He's a tough scorer, and a great shot maker. I love where he's taken his career. I love rookie-type stories."

"Steph wasn't picked high in the draft, so to be able to work that hard and be the best scorer and one of the best players in the league, he gets my approval. I love this kid," he concluded.
Curry's statistics last season were weaker than the previous one, but still helped him and his team reach another NBA ring.
He averaged 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists in the regular season, and was named NBA Finals MVP, improving his stats to 27.4 points per game in the Finals.
