Rap beefs are the talk of the town these days, and it seems this trend has spilled over from the hip-hop world into the realm of sports commentary. While Drake and Kendrick Lamar were busy exchanging lyrical blows, two former NBA giants, Shaquille O'Neal and Shannon Sharpe, found themselves locked in a verbal sparring match of their own. And yes, it involved a diss track.
Sharpe Throws the First Punch: Jokic Jealousy?
The feud ignited when Sharpe, co-host of Fox Sports 1's Undisputed, suggested that Shaq harbored a tinge of jealousy towards modern NBA centers like Nikola Jokic.
Sharpe's theory? Shaq felt threatened, fearing these new-age big men might overshadow his own legendary legacy. This jab came on the heels of Shaq's on-air critique of Jokic, claiming the Serbian center didn't deserve his third MVP award.
Shaq Fires Back with a Diss Track

The track opens with an audio snippet of Sharpe's initial comment, making it clear who Shaq was targeting.
