Shaquille O'Neal recently discussed the dynamic between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant and had pointed words toward Westbrook.

“In the history of the game, every one-two punch — the one or the two — has to sacrifice and step back. Russell Westbrook don’t step back enough for me,” O’Neal told Nola.com. “At some point, for the betterment of the team, you’ve got to step back. Until Westbrook learns to step back, it may be hard for them. Kevin Durant is the man, but Westbrook is like, ‘I’m getting mine every time. You can’t do it.’”

The Thunder and coach Scott Brooks have said the entire team must sacrafice to accomplish their championship goals.
