NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal keeps his ears peeled constantly regarding the latest happenings in the world of sports. Through his role as an NBA analyst and as a major social media user, the 4x champion not only keeps himself but also his followers updated. Barely a month after giving advice to a former NFL star against Skip Bayless, Shaq once again made his opinion clear about the ‘Undisputed’ host.
A few hours ago, renowned American rapper Snoop Dogg took to his official Instagram account to share a post featuring the season premiere of the new ‘Undisputed’, which aired yesterday.

Renowned analyst Skip Bayless was joined by his new cohosts: Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson, and Michael Irvin. While things kicked off with Bayless taking the lead, it didn’t take long for the situation to flip. Johnson was seen dominating the entire conversation, with Sherman and Irvin pitching in from time to time. Bayless, on the other hand, was sitting silently with his head slightly tilted towards the floor.
A captioning accompanying the post highlighted the host’s condition by stating: “Skip’s New Partners won’t let him speak.” The whole situation itself was too amusing for Shaquille O’Neal. He took to Instagram to share the post on his story with his 32.1 Million followers.

Ever since NFL legend Shannon Sharpe left ‘Undisputed’ as co-host, Bayless has been on the lookout for new talent. With three former football stars taking on the responsibility, it felt as if the 71-year-old had hit the jackpot. What viewers saw in the above clip, however, says things otherwise.

It all began back in January when Bayless questioned the NFL’s decision to suspend the Buffalo Bills vs Cincinnati Bengals game after Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field. Sending out a tweet, the host supposedly indicated that postponing a game in the middle of a season would affect the ‘outcome’. Several people associated with the NBA and the NFL criticized him for the same.
Six months later, the same topic was brought up during an episode of ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq’. Instead of directly sending his criticism to Bayless, Shaq chose to address his opinion via Shannon Sharpe.
“Nischelle, I got a new supplement to sell to Shannon Sharpe only. It’s called CTLMF. You take it, it will cause you to ‘Choke That Little Motherf***er,’” said Shaq when talking to his co-host Nischelle Turner. Shaq further added that all Sharpe has to do, when it comes to Bayless, is to “take him in the back and choke the f**k out of his a**.”

Siding with his TNT co-host and former rival Charles Barkley, Shaq has continued to express his disapproval of the ‘Undisputed’ host. What we say today wasn’t the first and it certainly won’t be the last.
