Live Bar February 24, during the All-Star Game, NBA star O'Neal talked about Lakers star James during the live commentary.
O'Neill said: "I'm happy for James, the first time I saw him was in his high school years, he did an impressive job and I know he's going to be a great player when he gets into the league. I'm a little jealous of LeBron, let me tell you why. We're all part of Barbershop Talks, one of the greatest analysts/commentators (Ernie Johnson), one of the greatest shooters (Kenny Smith), one of the greatest big forwards (Barkley), one of the most dominant big men (O'Neill himself), but I'd love to get myself into the discussion about GOAT.
I wasn't included in the discussion about GOAT, but he (James) got in, Kobe Bryant got in, and so did Jordan. I keep asking people around me, what do you say about LeBron when James surpasses Abdul-Jabbar in career totals? Is he the best player of all time? I want to be in that position too, so I can say I'm the number one scorer in history, very happy for James, happy for his family, it's a very good day. ”
