Team USA has received a warning ahead of the Olympics along with a massive demand. A former NBA superstar has been active on social media to share his wild takes and criticism about famous athletes. However, this time, he took it to another level by firing a public warning toward LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and the rest of the potential Team USA. Moreover, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal seems to be invested in all the drama. 

What’s surprising is Shaq’s acknowledgment of the former Los Angeles Lakers star’s bizarre warning amid their famous ‘Superman’ beef. Has Shaq called it a truce with the 37-year-old?
