Patrick Mahomes‘ Kansas City Chiefs secured a comfortable victory to win the Super Bowl LVII on February 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts’ Eagles were pretty comfortable until the end of the third quarter. However, an exceptional comeback from the Chiefs and a massive effort from Mahomes despite being injured took Kansas to their third Super Bowl championship in NFL history. After a victory for Mahomes, his father pulled off an unpleasant move to celebrate his son’s victory that has become a matter of discussion among the fans. Days after Patrick Mahomes’ father’s sleazy moment while roasting the Eagles, Shaquille O’Neal recently rubbed salt into Jalen Hurts’ fresh wounds. 

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal recently discussed the Super Bowl game with co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Candace Parker. During the conversation, the co-host Turner pointed out that Patrick Mahomes Sr. never fails to disappoint with his sarcastic antics. While walking off the stadium after his son’s win with a cigar in his mouth, former MLB star Pat Mahomes took a dig at the Eagles by saying, “It’s Philly blunts this week.” The moment from Mahomes Sr. triggered a hilarious response from Shaq, but it was not so funny for Jalen Hurts.

In the recent iteration of The Big Podcast, Shaquille O’Neal donned a tight silver wig on his head after Nischelle Turner mentioned the incident involving Pat Mahomes, leaving the co-hosts in splits. While responding to Turner and Parker’s jokes about his wig, Shad said, “I got a big head. So what? Smoking on Philly blunts.”

Further, Shaq asked two-time WNBA champ Candace Parker if she had ever lost a championship game in the finals while deeming the Super Bowl between Philly and Kansas as ‘amazing’. Parker revealed that she had previously lost a championship series in Game 5. Moreover, Shaquille O’Neal made a huge claim while talking about Jalen Hurts’ Eagles’ chances in the next Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, Shaquille O’Neal stated, “Like, I’d rather lose, well you know we never want to lose. But, I’d rather lose in the early playoff round than get to the finals.” The 15-time All-Star revealed that he had the hardest time after losing the NBA championship. Moreover, Shaq revealed that he had to face frustrations during the next few years after failing to win the championship after coming so close.

 Further, Shaquille O’Neal said, “The next year, you don’t make it, you don’t make it. So, even though Philly went 12 and one, what 15, 1 2, and one this year.` Don’t mean they’re gonna go 12-1 next year. It really is hard.”
