Having Once Desired 71YO to Be Choked, Shaquille O?Neal Serves Bitter Reminder as $17 Million Rich Veteran Finds New Partner in Crime

Shaquille O?Neal seems to be one of the nicest athletes that the world of basketball has come across. After all, he is the friendly giant. When it comes to giving out criticism against people who he dislikes, however, Shaq does not hold back. And of course, when that person happens to be one of the most divisive sports commentators, well, you can imagine. Over the last month or two, Shaq’s co-host Charles Barkley has been heavily linked with this TV personality.

It was only a month ago when the four-time champion egged on a former athlete to take a violent stance against the controversial $17 million host. Recently, Shaq indirectly went against the host once again.

Skip Bayless has finally found a new running mate! After 7 years together, Shannon Sharpe left the show in June of this year, leaving Bayless alone on the podium. The LeBron-hating Skip got so desperate that he even asked his nemesis to join forces. Thankfully, Chuck decided to stay with TNT. Nonetheless, Skip’s search is finally over. And recently, an old video of Skip and his new co-host is making the rounds.

It features a 2013 debate conducted by ESPN ?First Take? between NFL star Richard Sherman and television personality Skip Bayless. Addressing the host himself, Sherman, the football player said that whenever Skip talks about him on his show, he should address him as a ?Pro Stanford graduate?.

?There are some accomplishments you can aspire to, but you can never accomplish. You can never accomplish anything,? said Richard Sherman during the interview.

In response to Sherman?s comments, Bayless said that he believes that he has accomplished more in his field than the player, given the fact that the latter is just starting out. Sherman lashed back by replying that he is at the ?top? of his field. ?In my 24 years of life, I?m better at life than you,? said the XLVIII Super Bowl Champion.

The clip caught the attention of Shaquille O?Neal. He took to his own Instagram account to share the reel with his 31.9 Million followers.

The duo of Sherman and Bayless have held a rivalry for quite some time now. Therefore, it was certainly a shock when the former player decided to keep the feud aside and made plans to join Bayless as co-host of ?Undisputed?. Given this news, it seemed justified for Shaq to point out the situation that existed a decade ago.

Shaq wanted an NFL Veteran to “choke that little motherf***er”

Shaq highlighting the decade-long feud is not the first time that he has taken a stance against Skip Bayless.

A month ago, the 71-year-old made headlines for the remarks he made after the NFL decided to suspend the Buffalo Bills vs Bengal Cincinnati game. His comment received criticism from various athletes, including former Boston Celtics star Isaiah Thomas.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend took to ?The Big Podcast? to address the controversy. Big Diesel said that he had some words of wisdom for Bayless? former co-host, Denver Broncos legend Shannon Sharpe.

?Nischelle, I got a new supplement to sell to Shannon Sharpe only. It?s called CTLMF. You take it, it will cause you to ?Choke that little motherf***er?,? said Shaq during a segment of the podcast.

Furthermore, Shaq said that all Sharpe has to do, when it comes to Bayless, is to ?take him in the back and choke the f**k out of his a**.?
