Shaquille O'Neal believes there's only one acceptable outcome for the revamped Philadelphia 76ers next season: an NBA championship.

Speaking on "SportsCenter" about a roster featuring LeBron James, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, and Tyrese Maxey, O'Neal made it clear he considers Philadelphia one of the league's most dangerous teams. He dismissed age, team chemistry, or future plans as valid excuses.

"It's championship or bust," O'Neal declared. "You've got the great LeBron. You've got the great Embiid," the legendary center added.

Shaquille specifically challenged Embiid, urging the former MVP to re-establish himself among the NBA's elite big men, especially after Nikola Jokic has overshadowed him in recent years.

"Three or four years ago, Charles and I always said he was the best big man," O'Neal stated. "The Joker has surpassed him, to be honest, and has made a name for himself. My question to Joel is: does he want that title back? And if he does, please, show me," Shaq added.
