Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O'Neal has urged San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama to adopt a more aggressive playing style, according to reports on Thursday.
The comments come after Wembanyama's Spurs faced the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on October 28, 2026. The 7-foot-4 French phenom, selected first overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, has drawn widespread attention for his unique skill set and defensive impact during his debut season.
O'Neal, a four-time NBA champion and Hall of Famer, suggested the 20-year-old center needs to develop a "meaner" on-court demeanor to maximize his potential in the league.
