NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and movie star Adam Sandler are very close friends. The Lakers legend has worked in multiple Adam Sandler movies over the years. It is a match made in heaven because of Shaq’s love for movies and Sandler’s love for basketball. The Big Diesel is also one of the funniest guys in the NBA world and this extends to on-screen roles as well.
Sandler’s new movie ‘Hustle’ is about to premiere on Netflix on June 8. Sandler produced the movie along with LeBron James. People from the NBA world like Kenny Smith, Anthony Edwards, and Boban worked in the movie. In the latest episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq”, Sandler was in attendance, and Shaq, Nischelle, and Spice Adams had some fun talking about a lot of things.
During the podcast, Shaquille O’Neal revealed Sandler made him make out 50 times in a row. Safe to say the hilarious detail made everyone break out laughing.

In the podcast, Shaq said, “So, the last Adam movie I did was called ‘Hubie Halloween’ And I had to do this scene where I’m eating a sandwich with this girl and french kissing her at the same time. So Adam made me do about 50 times… And then I look back at him like, ‘Yo man, what the hell!’ And they are back there cracking up…”
Nischelle and Spice couldn’t stop laughing. And all Sandler said was that Shaq ate a lot of tomatoes. O’Neal also hilariously claimed that the girl who acted with him was beginning to get into it. And this kind of shook Nischelle.

Then Nischelle said to Adam that it feels like people like him and Chris Rock make movies with their friends. Sandler said that he would love his friends to be with him in every movie if possible. But it is not just because they are his friends, because they are great comedians and they have a good time working together.
