Shaq is obsessed with the Warriors’ player

While O?Neal keeps an eye out on the latest NBA happenings, he has a particular eye for the Warriors star. Usually taking up to social media, the Big Shamrock has shown from time to time how obsessed he is with Stephen Curry.

It was only a few months ago when the Lakers legend had reshared an archived video on Steph?s 35th birthday. It showed his parents being interviewed while Baby Steph sat on his mother?s lap. Featuring other clips from his childhood, the video definitely acted as a loving tribute to the player.

Two days ago, through an Instagram post, Shaquille O?Neal chose the 4 time NBA champion as the player he would form an unbreakable team with. In the process, Diesel snubbed other legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
