Among the many projects of O’Neal, his podcast show ‘The Big podcast’ has gained quite an audience in recent times. On the podcast, O’Neal appears alongside co-hosts Spice Adams and Nichelle Turner. In their recent episode, which featured 2x Super Bowl champion Von Miller, O’Neal and Miller reflected on their time at one of O’Neal’s carnivals called ‘Shaq’s Fun House.’
Von Miller, while protecting Shaquille O’Neal’s secrets, subtly praises Rob Gronkowski
Von Miller, who won his second Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams last season, made an appearance on O’Neal’s podcast. In one of the segments, after shedding light on the fact that O’Neal and Miller have known each other for a long time, Turner asked Miller if the two shared one of those ‘wild’ nights. O’Neal was quick to answer and replied that Miller made an appearance at his annual carnival.
However, the Los Angeles Lakers legend hilariously attempted not to disclose any further details, by singing at the top of his voice just when Miller started to speak. After the humorous exchange subsided, Miller praised 4x SB champion and Tom Brady’s legendary teammate, Rob Gronkowski.
Miller said, “All I will say is Rob Gronkowski is stronger than what he looks like, he is really strong, that’s all I have to say about him.” O’Neal seconded Miller’s praise of Gronkowski. However, the context behind Miller’s declaration is unclear. But it probably refers to an incident that might have occurred at O’Neal’s party.

Like ‘Shaq’s fun house’, Gronkowski also has his version dubbed ‘Gronk’s beach.’ The two collaborated on a virtual charity event called ‘Shaq’s Funhouse vs. Gronk’s beach.’ In the event, O’Neal and Gronkowski indulged in various challenges. In one of the challenges, the two engaged in an all-out physical battle in which Gronkowski took home the crown after knocking the 7’1” ft center out of the ring.
