When Kobe Bryant called Shaq lazy, he was only talking about the game of basketball. However, to seasoned YouTuber Funny Marco, Shaq’s ‘game’ off the court is as bad as his biggest flaw on the court. Marco popped over to The Big Podcast with the determination to provoke Shaquille O’Neal. But the big man was prepared with bucket loads of sarcasm and humor. Yet the 30-year-old YouTuber made the most shocking observation about Shaq’s relationship history.
“His approach on women is just lazy,” Marco said. This was the point where Shaq silently nodded with a cryptic smile and didn’t agree or disagree. But Funny Marco continued ribbing him to Adam Lefkoe. “He has no approach on women. He just goes in like a free throw.” The free-throw Shaq has a 52.7% career percentage. Marco makes a very interesting case out of Shaq’s free throw history and questionable romantic escapades. “He just knows he’s going to go wrong, right?” This made Marco conclude, “You have no game.”
O’Neal insisted he had a very strong rebuttal once he found his camera. The rebuttal was, “When you have name, you don’t need game.” Bars, as his guest put it. But Marco calling Shaq lazy isn’t all that surprising after O’Neal’s former teammate did too, albeit with a different context.

Bryant firmly held on to the belief, “I would’ve won 12 rings if Shaq wasn’t lazy.” He strictly referred to Shaq not putting in the work to improve his weak points. It’s well known that the Big Aristotle could dunk but fell short at the free-throw line. He’s missed 5,317 free throws and out of 22 3-point attempts, made only one. If that’s his approach to free throws that got him the name, we can’t imagine his game.

Shaquille O’Neal’s love game is as dramatic as his basketball game
There is no evidence to prove whether Shaq has game or not. Though he did take a shot at Funny Marco’s fellow YouTuber, Bobbi Althoff, on the podcast itself just before Marco said he has no game. He called Althoff and pretended Marco coerced him to ask her out.

“Hi Bobbi. I’m sitting here with Funny Marco and he told me to ask you on a date. So, can I take you to the movies?” Keep in mind Shaq recorded his most hilarious interview with Althoff in September 2023. He tried to ask her out on a skydiving date too, but that didn’t pan out.

He scored this time in the most ’90s sitcom style. Maybe it proves that the Shaq name gives him game. So, Funny Marco may be on to something with that parallel.
