Shaquille O'Neal on Giannis Antetokounmpo: 'He's the new Superman'

The Greek Freak has a new nickname.

Shaquille O'Neal bestowed his own moniker "Superman" on Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on Friday, a high honor from the Hall-of-Fame center.

"I've never given my name up before, but I'm giving it to [Antetokounmpo]," O'Neal said on The Stephen A. Smith Show on ESPN Radio on Thursday. "He's the new Superman. You heard it here first. I didn't hit no 3-pointer either, but he's dominating and that's what I like. He's dominating in the paint. You taking it to the hole. You throwing it down. You ain't shooting no flip shots.
