In true Charles Barkley fashion, he roasted the Lakers by mispronouncing the name of the recently acquired, Rui Hachimura. Shaq said he preferred the team landed another player.
"If you ain’t a top-10 player, I don’t know who you are," O’Neal said of Hachimura."That’s not disrespect. How am I supposed to know who the kid was?… I know who he is now. If I’m a general manager, and I got the big name guys on my team… I need one more big name guy, a complimentary big name guy.
"You want to impress me? That name should’ve been Bradley Beal, now we’re talking… I’ve never seen this kid play." Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura, #8, reacts after scoring against the Orlando Magic during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023, in Washington, D.C."I wish him well, and I hope they do well, but I didn’t know who he was, I’m sorry," O’Neal added."… I’m not watching the Bullets or the Wizards."
