Before, during, and even after his NBA career, Shaquille O’Neal has found ways to shock people. Be it his size, his dominance on the court, his many talents, or his cool personality, the Big Diesel has a way with people, and they really enjoy hanging out with him.
Over the years, Shaq has starred in funny moments, especially on TNT’s Inside the NBA. Moreover, the 4x NBA champion has had some tenures on different shows, and once, he was in charge of interviewing other celebrities. In 2017, he took over from Jimmy Kimmel on his show, having Mila Kunis as a guest.
Even though the Hollywood actress was the guest, Shaq stole the attention when he brought up his Hall of Fame ring, which made a big impression on Kunis, who repeatedly told him he shouldn’t wear that ring just like that.
Kunis: “What’s on your hand?”
O’Neal: “This is my Hall of Fame ring.”
Kunis: “Is it real? Oh, that says ‘yes.'”
O’Neal: “Of course it’s real.”
Kunis: “Shaq, you can’t wear that. That’s not ok. That’s huge.”
O’Neal: “I earned this.”
Kunis: “Yeah, put it in like a safety deposit box.”
Kunis was genuinely concerned about Shaq and the ring. He won four of those during his NBA career, but the most special must be the one that confirms he belongs to the best players to ever play the game. Mila certainly knows that, as she confirms she’s a Lakers fan, the team where Shaq became the huge legend he is right now.
Whenever you see Shaquille O’Neal, you know you will laugh. He confirmed that with this interview, as the crowd had a blast with Shaq and the guest. Cool as he is, Shaq was always a very competitive person, and proof of that is his statements claiming he would dominate the game if he played today.
That’s how you become a Hall of Famer and how you shock people with your giant ring.
