During a visit to Brazil, where he performed as a DJ at the Lollapalooza festival, Shaquille O'Neal expressed his admiration for Neymar and offered advice to the Santos forward on how to handle public pressure. Drawing from his own experience over 19 years of his career, the former NBA star explained how he transformed negative comments into fuel for success: "I use that as motivation. Everyone can criticize me, but no one can criticize me more than I do myself." "Sometimes, you need to look at the criticism and see if there is any truth in it. Throughout my career, some were true and others were ridiculous. So, I always use them as motivation to move forward," explained the former center, a three-time NBA Finals MVP, at an event hosted by a sports betting company. "I hope Neymar does the same. People are talking about him, but I hope he sees that and uses the criticism as motivation to achieve his goals. When you have a life like that, you will always face criticism," he stated, referring to the player's absence from Brazil's national team call-ups.
