The ever-entertaining TNT crew witnessed Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat amid the crowd at the Kaseya Center. While the Heat dominated Jayson Tatum & Co throughout the game, NBA legend, Shaquille O’Neal, caught the attention of the distracted fans with his antics. Shaq’s hilarious kiss to a Heat legend, three months after a kiss from Ben Affleck, left the NBA world in utter disbelief.

The Playoffs underdogs, the Miami Heat, were in complete control over the Boston side and went 3-0 up in the series. After losing two consecutive home games, fans expected Tatum and Co. to step up in Game 3, but the 4x NBA All-Star had a disappointing outing. He registered a poor shooting record and displayed an underwhelming performance as the team suffered a 102-128 blowout loss.

Miami took control of the game right from the word go, and the one-sided game left the fans distracted. However, the Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaq’s courtside antics throughout the game kept the fans invested. Notably, The Big Diesel’s heartwarming kiss to the Heat legend and the 7x NBA All-Star Alonzo Mourning caught the fan’s attention. The Heat’s official social media handle shared the video on Twitter and wrote, “Nothing but love.” 

In response to the video, fans swarmed the comments section, reacting to the moment. One user said, “Freaky a** this the second time.”

The moment resembled a hilarious three-month-old incident where the Academy Award-winning director, Ben Affleck, kissed the big man’s bald head during All-Star week. Notably, the Gone Girl star joined actor Chris Tucker to promote their film, Air.

Apart from the hilarious moment, fans were also reminded of the Heat’s 2006 championship glory. Miami’s roster consisted of big names like Shaq, Dwyane Wade, Mourning, and Udonis Haslem, whereas, the current roster consists of multiple undrafted players and overlooked stars.

The moment reminded fans about Shaq’s history with Miami and the camaraderie he shared with his teammates. They flooded the comments section with their love for the big man. Following are some reactions from the NBA world. 

Honoring Shaq’s contribution to the side, the franchise retired his jersey number 32 back in 2016.

Will the Celtics make history by becoming the first-ever NBA team to recover from a 0-3 playoff deficit? Only time will tell how things unfold. Meanwhile, the 4x NBA champion has been rumored to be interested in buying an NBA franchise in Florida as well.
