Shaq on If LeBron Killed the Dunk Contest, Load Management and New Lilly Team USA Partnership
Shaquille O’Neal speaks with Sports Illustrated's Greg Cally at the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics to talk Team USA pride as a former Olympian, the state of the NBA Dunk Contest, and launching a new athlete recovery program with Lilly. Fresh off NBA All Star Weekend, Shaq does not hold back on his thoughts about the dunk contest and whether today’s stars are doing enough to put on a show. He shares his philosophy about performing for fans, load management, and why athletes have a responsibility to give people their money’s worth. Shaq also reflects on playing alongside Kobe Bryant, names Steph Curry as his dream modern teammate, and discusses his partnership with Lilly and the launch of an athlete recovery program with Team USA.
