NBA legend declares his love for Lionel Messi

The name of Lionel Messi resonates well beyond the borders of football. If the sevenfold Ballon d’Or has somewhat “tainted” his legend at PSG in recent months, his napkin ring in the inner circle of the greatest sportsmen in history remains indisputable. This Thursday, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal paid tribute to the Argentinian.

Asked about the Argentinian TV channel TyCSports‘Shaq’ fell in love with the PSG player during a message in Spanish: “I’m happy for Messi (compared to the coronation of Argentina at the World Cup editor’s note). I love you bro, you’re the greatest of all time and I’m so glad you can end your book like this. Michael Jordan ended his free time this way. I really wish I could get to know you.”
