In the video, O’Neal says he’d kiss the feet of any coach who could take a team to the NBA Finals four times in five years. You see, the three-time Finals MVP was just coming off his fourth NBA Finals appearance in five years with the Lakers under Phil Jackson, and he was feeling confident a feat like that would never happen again.

Kerr, who’s coming off his fifth straight Finals appearance as coach of the Warriors, wasn’t shy about sending O’Neal a reminder. 

O’Neal owned up to his statement and tweeted his response to Kerr:

Looks like we’re going to get a bizarre meeting between O’Neal and Kerr sometime in the near future.
