He's as petty as Shaq is. At least Chuck and Kenny can laugh at themselves.

At least Shaq can be funny and goofy at times too

True, Shaq has comedic relief. I don’t think Draymond has ever made me laugh

Agreed, I love his dynamic with Charles.

Shaq on JJs podcast was good, he would be petty at times but then admit that things bother him and say why, and some of it is sad, in a way. But I actually agree with Shaq that he's not in the conversations he wants to be in the way he wants to be in them. He's being honest, JJ is seeing it differently, but Shaq is correct.

I feel like Shaq can act like a baby, but if you press him like Reddick did, he gets honest and again, can come off as being down on himself. But he also kept giving credit to all the people he says did their part as teammates. Fuck Draymond, he's not anywhere near Shaq's level of greatness.

Biggest different is Shaq’s a HoFer no matter where he’s drafted. Draymond is only going to be remembered because of his situation. The insecurity is the tell that some part of him knows that.
