Shaquille O’Neal, just like the rest of us, is trying to enjoy the All-Star Weekend amid a very intense 2022-23 NBA season. Shaq knows the competition has gotten to a new level, and this break will allow teams to recharge and face the remainder of the campaign.  

Meanwhile, the 4x NBA champion is in Salt Lake City, enjoying the city and attending the activities the NBA set for this weekend. However, he’s not free from people trolling him, even though he trolled Charles Barkley in recent hours. Shaq can be the subject of jokes too, and during the 2023 Celebrity Game, Ben Affleck trolled O’Neal. 

The Hollywood superstar joined Mark Jones and Monica McNutt on ESPN’s broadcast after Richard Jefferson left the booth to go officiate the game. While Giannis Antetokounmpo called out Jefferson, Ben Affleck also had an interesting gesture for Shaq.


Shaquille O’Neal Was Upset With Ben Affleck During Celebrity Game 

When halftime started, Affleck finished his participation in the broadcast and decided to leave in a big fashion. Shaquille O’Neal sat next to him, and Affleck saw an opportunity and took it. He hugged Shaq before leaning over and kissing him on the top of his head. 

This was a hilarious sequence, but things get funnier when Shaq realizes what just happened, and his face showed he was really pissed off with Affleck, who just left and left the former player-turned-analyst fuming.

Affleck really nailed it with this joke, and the worst part is that Shaq didn’t have an answer for it. Perhaps he’d threaten to hurt Affleck as he did with Ashton Kutcher in the past, which would be another edition of the long-term beef between Superman and Batman.

Shaq has been very active recently, even blaming Kyrie Irving for the failed Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3. Now, he’s trying to relax as the All-Star weekend is here, but O’Neal isn’t trying to entertain people bothering him.
