Shaquille O’Neal, a former NBA player, is well-known for being one of the most engaging personalities in the league. He frequently participates in multiple podcasts to share his opinions on a variety of subjects. In addition to hosting “Inside the NBA” on TNT, Shaq, who recently mocked Rudy Gobert, also has his own podcast where he discusses various NBA activities. In a recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” the host, also known as Big Diesel, gave a brutally honest opinion when asked if the New York Knicks are true contenders for the title next season.

No. You know what it is? New York is a place that’s built on hype, that controls the hype. They can hype everybody else up. They haven’t won [expletive] but ‘Oohh, New York.’ So, young fella [Brunson] can play. I was wrong about him. He’s impressive. But they’re nowhere close to winning a championship. They’re gonna win some games, but I’m more impressed with how many championships you won at the end of your career.” Shaq said.

Shaq praised the Knicks’ star player, Jalen Brunson, and noted that New York is a place that controls its own buzz. However, he also mentioned that even though the Knicks might win a few games, winning a championship is far from their grasp.

Travis Kelce’s VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium, which is a place he can never use since he is actually playing in games, just got a significant update.

The 34-year-old NFL star’s VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium was recently updated with a nod to Taylor Swift.

TikTok user Regan, who goes by the handle @regans.version, was touring Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium when she made a point to inspect Travis Kelce’s VIP suite, where his friends and family sit to cheer him on at games.

In a TikTok video, Regan shared a picture of the suite and stated how excited she was when she spotted an Eras Tour poster on the wall. “This is where Taylor gets to sit! Also, the fact that there is an Eras Tour poster in this room is so funny to me,” she wrote in a caption.
