Shaquille O’Neal<\/strong> is weighing in on the Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/strong> vs. Pacers game ball debate — and he’s making it clear, he’s siding with the Greek Freak in the tiff.<\/p>\n

The beef, of course, began late Wednesday night<\/strong> — after Indiana players felt following their 140-126 loss to the Bucks … the rookie who scored his first-ever points during the contest, Oscar Tshiebwe<\/strong>, deserved the game ball more than Antetokounmpo, who dropped a franchise-record 64 points.<\/p>\n

Obviously feeling differently than Indiana’s players, Antetokounmpo went to the Pacers’ locker room area to retrieve it — but, chaos then proceeded to break out.<\/p>\n

Giannis Antetokounmpo Throws Fit After Pacers Take Game Ball Following 64-Pt Night <\/h4>\n

When Shaq joined Charles<\/strong> and Babcock<\/strong> on Thursday’s “TMZ Live” and spoke about the commotion … he said Giannis had every right to be upset with the situation — believing the two-time MVP should have been the one who ultimately walked away from the arena with the memento.<\/p>\n

“By the letter of the law,” Shaq said, “if you’re playing at home, you should get the ball if something spectacular happens.”<\/p>\n

Giannis did end up with a game ball — though he told media members afterward he wasn’t sure if it was the<\/em> basketball he used to record his historic night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mark Cuban<\/strong>, meanwhile, told TMZ Sports<\/strong> earlier Thursday that if the game had happened in his home arena, he believed whichever team had the rookie deserved it most.<\/p>\n

“That’s a big deal that only happens once,” the Mavericks owner said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By the way, if you’re wondering why Shaq had a Santa hat on while joining the guys … it’s cause he’s begun helping a bunch of kids throughout the country this month enjoy their Christmas holiday with his annual Shaq-A-Claus charity events<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
