O’Neal was a guest on Smith’s First Take program recently […]

It’s no secret that Hall of Fame big man Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the biggest Rudy Gobert fan. Shaq has been relentless in calling out the Utah Jazz center for many years, which has caused a bit of a rift between the pair. However, it appears that Shaq has offered somewhat of an olive branch to […]

Not too long ago, Shaquille O’Neal relinquished the “Superman” nickname to Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. It was a huge gesture of respect coming from the Hall of Fame center, considering how he rejected the idea of Dwight Howard being referred to as the “Man of Steel” during his prime years. Such reverence also had […]

The age conversation is something LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers will have to live with throughout this NBA season. Short of winning the title, they probably won’t hear the end of it. In a recent First Take appearance with Stephen A. Smith, Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal thinks that the ridicule is unfounded. […]

It’s no secret that JaVale McGee and Shaquille O’Neal are not the best of friends.

A lot has been made about the NBA deciding to come out with a new Top 75 list ahead of the new season. Hall of Famers Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley have both weighed in on the issue, and Shaq couldn’t help but call out Chuck as soon as he found out why Barkley hadn’t […]

Shaquille O’Neal is definitely one of the most savage people you’ll ever come across in your life. A clear testament to this fact is how Shaq sabotaged his own meeting with Nike just to be able to sign with Reebok instead. This was early in Shaq’s legendary career. He was at a crossroads as he […]

The 2016-17 Golden State Warriors are considered one of the most dangerous NBA teams ever assembled.

However, for Richard Jefferson, the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers […]

Shaquille O’Neal was without a doubt the most dominant force in the NBA during his heyday.

Damian Lillard is one of the best basketball players on the planet, but he’s far from the GOAT.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal was one of the most dominant forces the NBA has ever seen.

Everyone is in agreement what Shohei Ohtani is doing is unprecedented.

LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are two […]

The hits keep coming for Dennis Schroder. Everyone seems to be piling on him after his unceremonious exit from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Another thing the Lakers missed about Howard is his unique sense of humor. Howard […]

There aren’t a lot of things that can scare someone like Fat Joe. But unfortunately for him, Shaquille O’Neal (and his silhouette) is his kryptonite. In a recent sit down with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson in ‘All The Smoke‘, the 50-year-old rapper shared an incident back in 2008 when he literally thought The Big […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is something of a modern-day Shaquille O’Neal given his ability to bully the hell out of opponents with ferocious forays to the bucket.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Mean Tweets segment is always good for a laugh.

Shaquille O’Neal is no stranger to the world of professional wrestling. The NBA Hall of Famer has famously tried his hand at heavyweight fights on WWE, and most recently on AEW.

Phoenix Suns superstar Chris Paul was a man on a mission in Game 6 of the WCF against the Los Angeles Clippers and, apparently, Shaquille O’Neal knew what fueled CP3’s epic performance.
