Snoop Dogg Was Once Called “Shaquille O’Neal’s Skelton” on Live TV- Here’s How the Two Stars Reacted

Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many gifts. Blessed with a huge frame and physicality, Shaq used it to his advantage, mixed it with relentless hard work, and turned himself into one of the greatest players ever.

But besides his stellar achievements, his jolly nature is what makes him a fan favorite. Shaq never backs down from a joke; be it about the basketball world or something else on his podcasts or his appearances on TV, he puts his sense of humor on full display.

However, in a rare instance, Shaq was left stunned by a joke involving him. On the roast of Justin Bieber, comedian Natasha Leggero referred to popular rapper Snoop Dogg as ‘Shaquille O’Neal’s skeleton’. Much to the surprise of the audience, Shaq decided not to hit back and rather enjoyed the joke.

In his playing days, he won almost everything there was to win in the NBA. The Big Aristotle has 4 NBA titles, 3 final MVP awards, an MVP award, and 2 Scoring awards to his name.

If that is not enough, Shaq made a name for himself on Inside the NBA show. The show features former stars like Shaquille O’Neal, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith, to name a few.

The show contains popular segments that involve Shaq and his antics. Safe to say, the fans love his humor as the videos uploaded gather massive engagement.

While Shaq’s humor is well known, he was beaten during a roast once. During the roast of Justin Bieber, popular comedian Natasha Leggero said, “Snoop, you look like Shaq’s skeleton.” Instead of hitting back at her, the two legends decided to have a good laugh over the joke.

Interestingly enough, Shaquille O’Neal had his fair share of roasting during the comedy extravaganza. Hitting two birds with one stone, Shaq ripped apart the other roasters and the Los Angeles Lakers in one punchline.

He said, “I haven’t seen a more disappointing lineup since the last Lakers game!” Not only the Lakers, but the Los Angeles Clippers faced Shaq’s wrath too.

Hitting out at the Clippers guard Chris Paul, Shaq said, “Hey Chris, the way you guys playing, you ain’t going to be getting a ring. I got four of them if you need to borrow one.”
