O Neal: No one dares to talk to me after losing in G1 in 2001. Players can still take photos with a smile

June 6th, today's NBA Finals Pacers played against Thunder G1, and Pacers (1) defeated the Thunder 111-110.

After the game, former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal talked about his status after losing in G1 in the 2001 Finals:

"When I lost and went home, the children knew that they could not talk to me, the ex-wife knew that they could not disturb me, the chef only put the food at the door, and everyone was very conscious of staying away from me. Because I had to win."

"Looking at legends like Isaiah, Jordan and even Kenny, I knew that I had to win. I made 4 of 19 free throws in that loss, it was all my fault, and this self-blame swallowed me. So, in the second game, I had to perform better with the rage of revenge. But I couldn't understand the current players, and they could even take photos with a smile after the game."
