“Bron Was Upset”: Shaquille O’Neal Jumps for Joy After LeBron’s Misery Triggers His Million-Dollar Spending Spree

One man’s misery is another man’s fortune. Though we’ve only heard this saying until now, LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal‘s recent adventure was a hilarious reminder of its truth! After the 4x NBA champ got his hands on a nearly $100,000 toy on the back of James’ disapproval, the icon couldn’t help but share his story on social media.

As most fans know, Shaq is an avid lover of customized cars. He recently added a second Tesla Cybertruck to his collection, increasing his (upwards of 30) car garage even more! What’s more? His latest addition is customized to be the first ever carbon fiber, wide-body Cybertruck. The automobile dealership that hand-delivered the ride to Shaq to his doorstep also shared a mini-vlog on Instagram.“I hate to say it. I got the cleanest Cybertruck in the country, thanks to effort motors,” the retired NBA star said.

Curiously, Shaq also thanked King James. The backstory is unlike anything you’ll ever hear! Turns out Effortless Motors had shared a similar post in June claiming how the Lakers star had bought a Bugatti supercar from them. The lie was soon debunked by James as he promptly cleared the air on his IG Story, writing, “Stop the 🧢!! LIARS!! I don’t know y’all and I don’t even have that car. CLOUT CHASERS.”

The marketing gimmick actually worked as Shaquille O’Neal took notice of the dealership. It took him about a day to contact the dealers and get his hands on the car. A few months in, and the futuristic-looking vehicle is all his! However, Shaq didn’t forget to mention the not-very-happy ending for LeBron.

“Bron was upset that one of the secretaries post that they sold him a car. A couple young cats trying to get marketing business… But I said, you know what? If Bron could fit in the car and he don’t want it, let me holler,” he said. It seems Tesla’s have a special place in Shaq’s heart! Remember when he was challenged to fit his 7″1′ stature into one for $3 million in May?

Though he lost to Funny Marco and his $3 million, Big Diesel’s heart was set on the model as he even requested Elon Musk to make bigger cars for people his size.

Now that his wish got fulfilled either way, O’Neal also sent out a warning to his competitors!

Shaquille O’Neal’s Cybertruck obsession is just getting started?

Not many would’ve thought before its launch that the Tesla Cybertruck would become a favorite of pro athletes. But the futuristic truck caught the eye of several NBA stars, each putting their own spin on the bold design. Take Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, for example. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard went for a sleek, all-black Cybertruck.

Meanwhile, Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young opted for a light metallic blue, for a splash of personality. But LaMelo Ball, of the Charlotte Hornets, really took it up a notch by wrapping his Cybertruck in a custom camouflage design. As for Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards? He decided to rock the classic stock look, keeping things simple but no less eye-catching.

The car seems to about about making a statement now. But none may match his, Shaq claims. “You other cats in the Cybertruck, park your sh-t,” he said. With his first-of-a-kind model and collection, we do not want to argue.
