It’s a rare sight to witness NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal get trolled by someone. Only a few people in this world have the guts to do it. One of them is his trainer, Rashid Shabazz. The 55-year-old legend is a tough nut to crack according to Shaq. Most importantly, this is not the first time Shabazz is making Big Diesel a laughing stock on the internet. However this time, Shabazz managed to troll Shaq on his $27,000,000 private jet.
Seeing the series of events between the two, it’s safe to say Shaq fears only one person in this world which is Shabazz.

Shaquille O’Neal gets mocked in the sky by his trainer
A few months before this year’s NBA Finals, Big Diesel was diagnosed with a major hip problem that required surgery. 51-year-old Shaq had no choice but to take it. The aftermath of the surgery was a bit concerning for the Los Angeles Lakers legend. That is when Rashid Shabazz proved his presence. The 55-year-old is an IFBB pro champion who has trained a lot of celebrities. One of them is former NFL superstar Shannon Sharpe.
Shabazz helped Shaq lose around 55 pounds, which he flexes on his social media time and again. Now let’s come to the bullying side.

Shabazz is more than a trainer to Shaq. However, the celebrity trainer has used this close bonding to bully the 4-time champion. In the latest episode, he shared a picture of Shaq sleeping in his luxurious plane with his mouth wide open as he tried to put his finger in.
Watch this story: “What happened last time the USA faced New Zealand at the FIBA World Cup?”
Shabazz added, “You risk it all when you fall asleep on the plane”. He also had the guts to ask his followers to “drop a caption”.
