Shaquille O’Neal, the NBA’s most loving legend, is known for his outgoing personality and sharp wit. The ‘Big Diesel’ teased his new and upcoming game show “Lucky 13,” which is set to air on ABC. As excitement builds the room, O’Neal couldn’t resist taking a playful shot at his long-time friend and fellow NBA legend, Charles Barkley. With Barkley facing potential changes on “Inside the NBA,” O’Neal humorously suggested his old rival might need to try his luck on “Lucky 13” instead. However, the Lakers legend feels that Chuck doesn’t have what it takes to get some cheese.
Shaquille O’Neal and Gina Rodriguez are set to co-host “Lucky 13,” a high-stakes trivia game show. The game show highlights a unique format, where contestants answer 13 true or false questions and then must predict how many they got right. If their guess is accurate, they could win up to $1 million.
While being asked who O’Neal’s dream contestant could be, ‘The Diesel’ reeled in Chuck and took a jab at him. Shaq couldn’t resist a dig at Barkley. “Charles will go zero for 13. Charles thinks 2 plus 2 is 22,” O’neal humorously predicted on Good Morning America.
