14 Years After Brutal Taunts, Shaquille O’Neal and David Beckham Reconcile Only to Honor Daniel Ricciardo’s Lifelong Dream

David Beckham and Shaquille O’Neal have come a long way since their retirement. Stepping foot into ownership roles, business investments, and many more, both have only excelled at life after being at the top of their respective sports. Now, the two are set to join forces for something exciting! While this collaboration has taken over the internet, let’s not forget the battle Shaq and Beckham had on Twitter back in 2009! The Twitter war had a lot of taunting, yet nothing beats the “challenging” claims from the Los Angeles Lakers legend. 

Beckham and Shaq have already announced their collab that will happen in November this year. The legends are set to fulfill F1 superstar Daniel Ricciardo’s lifelong dream!

Shaq joining forces with Beckham is a sweet story for Ricciardo 

David Beckham must be on cloud nine. Pulling in Argentinian legend Lionel Messi for this soccer club and now an unexpected collaboration with Big Diesel. The F1, soccer, and NBA fans are in for a treat this November! The Las Vegas Grand Prix will be star-studded on November 18. However, the hype is not just for one, but three days of entertainment. Beckham announced on his Instagram story today that he will join the 4-time NBA champion to host the ‘CLUB SI’. 

The excitement is indeed sky-high but for Daniel Ricciardo, it must be on a level further.

The Australian F1 star has always loved the States. When asked about his wish list, Ricardo went all smiles as he answered, “A race in Vegas”. Well, it will be a dream come true moment for the F1 star. 

This is one of the most awaited races for Ricciardo and F1 fans alike. After all, this year, Shaq and Beckham will sit together to ask each other some hot questions and share banter as they set up the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

What is the history between David Beckham and Shaquille O’Neal? 

The LA legend hosted the “Shaq Vs.”, where he chooses to battle with a veteran from different sports. Big Diesel chose Serena Williams for tennis, Michael Phelps for swimming, and finally David Beckham for soccer.

Clearly, Shaq tried to trigger Beckham into a battle. However, sadly that never happened.  The football legend turned owner never took the bait.  14 years later, the two are joining hands for the Las Vegas Grand Prix now. Perhaps Shaq will bring this old tale to his attention then. What are your thoughts on it?
