O'Neal also weighed in on the GOAT conversation, selecting Michael Jordan over LeBron James.
"I say Michael Jordan," he named the best player of all time to Dirk Schlickmann of Sport Bild. "But you have to look at the different eras. When I was a kid, Dr. J [Julius Erving] and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were the benchmark. When I was in college, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were the best. When I got to the NBA, Michael Jordan dominated. Then came Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. But for me, the greatest of all time is Michael Jordan."
