• Shaquille O'Neal has responded to Kevin Durant telling him he doesn't know basketball
• The Lakers' legend posted a Tweet listing all his basketball achievements

The Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Durant heated exchange on Twitter continued after the Brooklyn Nets star slammed the Lakers icon for not knowing the Lakers' new player.

The comment seemed to have struck a nerve, as O'Neal hit back at Durant, calling out Durant for not cutting his hair when he was going bald. The NBA legend then posted a Tweet with all his achievements.

Durant has always spoken his mind on Twitter, and his Tweets have rubbed some the wrong way. He is probably the most outspoken NBA superstar, giving his opinions on the NBA and other topics.

O'Neal eats frog on live TV

Sports Brief earlier reported on O'Neal eating frog legs after losing a bet to fellow panelist Ernie Johnson.

Before the College Football Playoff National Championship game in early January 2023, the four-time NBA champion bet Johnson that Johnson's alma mater, the Georgia Bulldogs, would not beat the Texas Christian University's Horned Frogs (TCU).

The former NBA superstar emphatically lost his bet as the Horned Frogs were comprehensively beaten 65-7.

Johnson came into Thursday's TNT coverage wearing a Bulldogs helmet and a covered silver platter. Underneath the covered plate were some frog legs, which O'Neal was ready to enjoy.
