The Los Angeles Lakers’ former star Shaquille O’Neal is quite popular for several unexpected stunts and pranks he pulls, especially in this show on TNT.
With his giant-like figure and child-like laughs, Shaquille made everyone very candid very quickly, yet he was also capable of delivering dark and sensitive humor. He frequently challenges his colleagues and co-host while roasting them with some witty punch lines.
Recently, he pulled another stunt regarding his former franchise Lakers’ poor condition this season and took a hilariously bizarre bet.
What did Shaquille O’Neal do this time?
Shaq played for the Lakers for eight years and won three championships during his tenure, which created a bond and a love for the team, and as a fan, he could go any stretch for the Lakers even taking a bet with TNT crews for the Lakers’ postseason appearance this season.
Given that the Lakers are the 12th seed in the Western Conference after conceding a defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies, which broke their three-game winning streak, it seems like a far-fetched idea to reach the postseason playoffs now.
However, the 7.1-footer didn’t want to accept it anymore as he took a bet with the TNT crew to wear an iconic dress of the Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks, which he despises even more. It arose after Brooks demonstrated his cool damn care gangster attitude at a Lakers game.
.@SHAQ: “If the Lakers don’t make the playoffs, I’ll wear that on the last show.” 🤣

However, it has become quite risky now as the Lakers are not in any shape to keep struggling for survival anymore. Their superstar, Lebron James, is set to miss multiple weeks due to his ankle soreness, which increased the pressure exponentially.
However, the team just started to see some rays of hope after the comebacks of another superstar, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and new recruit Jarred Vanderbilt’s fiery form. The 50-year-old former Lakers player is no exception when it comes to seeing hope as a fan.
Now it’s just a matter of time before O’Neal has to wear a dress like that if the Lakers fail to qualify for the playoffs.
Do you think Shaquille O’Neal is going to keep his promise? If he does, we sure wouldn’t be surprised. Whatever you think, let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
