“I Don’t Have Size 24 Feet”: 7’1″ NBA Giant Shaquille O’Neal Gets Hilariously Roasted for His Curious Question at 2023 Mr. Olympia

The 2023 Mr. Olympia finals are underway. On the last day of the most prestigious annual bodybuilding competition, competitors from various divisions like the Men’s Physique, the Men’s Open, the Classic Physique, and more are battling it out for the top spot. However, the man keeping things interesting in between each round of intense competition is none other than Bob Cicherillo.

Cicherillo was a successful bodybuilder in his prime. However, he is arguably more famous as the veteran announcer who has earned the nickname The Voice of Bodybuilding. After the first round of exciting head-to-head posing by the open bodybuilders, Cicherillo turned to one of the most high-profile guests at the Olympia this year, Shaquille O’Neal. However, the 7’1 NBA legend, who has attended the event for the last four years, got hilariously roasted for his curious question during their conversation.

Bob Cicherillo had a hilarious response for the Mr. Olympia fan

The former bodybuilder drew everyone’s attention to the NBA giant and asked for his opinion on open bodybuilders. The Voice of Bodybuilding asked who Shaquille O’Neal thought would win the Mr. Olympia title this year. The former Los Angeles Lakers player didn’t reveal his favorites but announced that judges would have a tough time picking a winner. However, before putting down the mic, Shaq had a question for Bob Cicherillo.

“Can I ask you a question?” asked O’Neal. “Shoot, brother,” replied Cicherillo. The sneakerhead NBA championship winner couldn’t help but admire the shoes Cicherillo wore. “Would you look at them shoes… Like, what are those?” asked Shaq. The camera zoomed in on Cicherillo’s shoes to reveal that the announcer was wearing some pointed leather shoes. They also seemed to be decorated with golden elements.

“You know what those are?” the 57-year-old asked Shaq. The 7’1 NBA legend took his best guess and said, “They look like golden gators.” However, Cicherillo had a hilarious response. “Those are Olympia-caliber shoes, my friend. I’ll let you borrow them, but I don’t have size 24 feet,” said the announcer. His response drew laughter from everyone in attendance.
