Since rising to fame with his dominant basketball talents, Shaquille O’Neal has managed to accomplish a lot on and off the court. Whether it’s his success in the business world or pursuing a career as a DJ, the Hall of Fame center has put no limits on himself. As he continues to blaze his path, Shaq recently opened up on wanting to follow suit of another all-time athlete.
Aside from his work on “TV with Inside The NBA,” Shaq dives into an array of topics on his “The Big Podcast With Shaq.” Basketball is one of the main things he focuses on, but he occasionally branches out to give his thoughts on things beyond the hardwood as well.
During his latest episode, Shaq brought on longtime comedian and actor Anthony Anderson. Amid this interview, the LA Lakers legend touched on something he wants to do in the comedy world. After seeing the success Tom Brady had, Shaq would like to be the centerpiece of his own roast.
“I need your advice, I want to do a roast,” Shaq said. “Have you seen the Tom Brady roast?”
Along with appearing in countless comedy movies, Shaq also has some experience in the world of roasts. He was one of many big names to appear on Comedy Central’s roast of Justin Bieber back in 2015.
With his larger-than-life stature and vibrant personality, Shaq would make for a great centerpiece of a roast. Not to mention the former NBA MVP could bring in a slew of big-name celebrities to partake in the event.
Now that Shaq has put this idea out into the world, only time will tell if he’ll ever have the opportunity to follow up Tom Brady with a roast of his own.
