NBA giant Shaquille O’Neal is known for his generous heart and kind personality. He has always been a helping hand in tough times. Yet, a recent NBA veteran’s ex-wife tells a contrasting tale. In a recent episode from DJVlad, a former Los Angeles Lakers player’s ex-wife detailed the story behind her call for help from O’Neal, highlighting the absence of friendship among NBA players.

Former NBA player Joe Smith became the focus of headlines after his ex-wife made the revelation of having an OnlyFans account. During her interview with DJVlad, she delved into several additional aspects underlying her situation.

Previously, the troubled couple had sat for a conversation at Kevin Weasley’s show, The Truth Factory. While they discussed the challenges of their married life, Chavis suddenly mentioned Smith’s former teammate, O’Neal, and unexpectedly made a daring request for O’Neal to provide Smith with a business opportunity at Papa John’s Pizza. Following the surprising plea, a visibly frustrated Smith was seen walking out of the show.

While talking about the incident, Chavis clarified she did not intend her statement as a joke. Addressing the absence of communication and friendship among NBA players, she expressed, “That’s an elite fraternity so they should be there for each other… You should be able to call your brother and be like, ‘Yo man, I’m kind of f*ked up right now.’” She added, “Cause when he wasn’t, people came to him for money. He has looked out for people, his other brothers in the league. So where are they now? Period. That’s all I’m saying.”

She elaborated on her husband’s history of helping fellow players in the league. She emphasized that her husband has always offered support to others. Chavis advocated for reciprocation, stating that it’s time for others to lend a helping hand during his challenging times. Following the revelation of her OnlyFans account, this plea for support marks another blow to their relationship.
