One of the most intriguing figures of NBA is Shaquille O'Neal. The 7-ft 1" tall large man exudes a special appeal and changes the atmosphere everywhere he enters.
One such thing happened in The Big Podcast, where he serves as an on-air analyst for TNT. There was a hilarious moment of laughter and jokes on the set.
Shaq enjoys being in front of the camera and is actually quite at ease doing it. He recently appeared on NBA TV alongside Jamal Crawford and Kristen Ledlow where he made Kristen call him by his new nickname on the show.
Ledlow felt awkward while Shaq kept on cracking jokes. Ledlow was hesitant to refer to Shaq as "Dark Nowitzki", whereas Shaq wanted to be called that anyway.
Ledlow found it difficult, but eventually, she had to utter it in front of the camera, as it’s difficult to deny The Big Diesel’s request.
Shaq also covered his face with a piece of paper as Kristen was feeling uncomfortable calling out the nickname. As Kristen uttered the nickname, immediately everyone burst out laughing.
As usual, when NBA Twitter viewed this clip, they were compelled to comment on it. It was none other than Rachel A. DeMita who did it initially.
Rachel commented: “don’t let them bully you Kristen,” followed by a laughing emoji. A fan commented: “Shaq is the nickname GOAT.” Kristen also shared the video clip and wrote: “never again, Shaq”, with a laughing emoji.
