“Bald-Headed Father for Sale”: Shaquille O’Neal’s Live TV Antics Force Eldest Born to Take Hilarious Step

Inside the NBA might not be here to present the Finals, but Shaquille O’Neal has found a way to appear on live television. The 4x NBA champion has been a star host in the playoffs this year. With ESPN and ABC taking control of the Finals, Shaq was seated on the sideline in Game 1 enjoying the battle. However, he was back to broadcasting in game 2 for NBA TV, and his off-the-camera antics have given his daughter second-hand embarrassment. 

Shaquille O’Neal has always been authentic on live television. That gives a unique edge which TNT Sports has taken advantage of. In one such case today, the Big Diesel was vibing to some good rap music off the camera, which caught the attention of Taahirah O’Neal. However, it looks like the 27-year-old is not a fan of it like the other NBA buffs. 

She shared a video of the Los Angeles Lakers legend showing his moves to the TD Garden crowd and wrote, “I got a bald-headed father for sale…DM me if you are interested.” Although we love seeing this true self of Shaq, the perspective is different for Taahirah, as a daughter. But that’s just how dads and daughters are!

Shaq might not need the concept of work-life balance. He is just enjoying whatever he does. However, he is still doing his role as an analyst accurately, by giving people around him the perfect advice, with the right example. One such scenario was his post-game interview with Jaylen Brown today. 

Shaquille O’Neal’s piece of advice to Jaylen Brown during the Finals 

For every player on the Boston Celtics roster, the main goal is to lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy this year. However, the media has interestingly brought into light the individual accolades which the fans are excited for. After Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, the NBA world awaits to see who will lift the Finals MVP. 

With the Celtics having a 2-0 lead, fans are choosing players from the Boston unit. But Shaq does not want any of the players from the team to think about individual accolades. The top two predictions for the Finals MVP have been Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. With Dallas head coach Jason Kidd giving the ‘best player’ tag to Brown, fans are siding with the shooting guard. 

But Shaq chimed in to give a useful piece of advice, “Do not get fixated on useless titles. It ain’t time for all that right now. Do what you gotta do and get it done.” He also looked back into his time with the Lakers alongside Kobe Bryant, where he won three Finals MVPs in a row. So, on live camera, Shaq is responsible, but off the camera, it’s just the usual Shaq.
