7 Feet Shaquille O’Neal ‘Avoids’ $450,000,000 Patrick Mahomes but Looks Forward to September 9 Historic Clash

September 3, 2023, is going to be a historic night in the world of college football. HBCU powerhouse the Grambling State Tigers are going to take on the reigning 2020 NCAA champions, the LSU Tigers. This momentous occasion marks the very first time these teams have crossed paths in their school histories. With both hailing from the same state but representing different divisions, fervent college football fans are eagerly waiting in anticipation to witness the historic moment to be made. 

And this historic college football match-up has also managed to catch the attention of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. The 7 feet ex-NBA star shared a motivational story about an HBCU graduate called Nicholas Perkins, who went on to become the first black man in the country to become the owner of the burger chain called Fuddruckers. And not only this, but he also took to social media to share a story about the game between Grambling and LSU.

Shaquille O’ Neal seems to be looking forward to the historic college showdown 

Almost three years back, Grambling HC Broderick Fobbs opened up about how playing against LSU at Tiger Stadium this year in September is “definitely an opportunity to do something” that they have never done. He further went on to talk about how it is an “exciting time” in the program while praising the LSU Tigers as a “great program.” And now, the moment that fans have been waiting for over years is finally inching closer each day.

And it looks like even Shaquille O’Neal cannot keep calm about the football showdown, despite making a career playing basketball. The 7 feet giant recently took to Instagram to share a story about the anticipated game. The post talked about how the alumni association of Grambling University was able to secure discounted hotel rooms at the Courtyard Marriot and the Hampton Inn and Suites in Baton Rouge to cheer for their team on the historic night of college football.

While Shaquille O’Neal is showing his interest in the college football scene, what could be stopping him from talking about the success of 2x Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes’ latest docuseries on Netflix?

O’Neal remains tight-lipped on the success of ‘Quarterback’

The Netflix docuseries, which showcases the journey of quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Marcus Mariota, and Kirk Cousins last season, witnessed tremendous success in just four days after its release. The 8-part docuseries has gone on to claim the no.1 rank on Netflix in the United States, creating a lot of buzz and chatter on the same. But despite it being a trending topic, Shaquille O’Neal has not yet come forward to give his opinion on the show. He is quite active on social media, posting several stories on Instagram every day. But fans are yet to see the NBA legend speak up about the success of the NFL docuseries. The last time we saw O’Neal and Mahomes interact was during an interview before Capital One’s: The Match. The 7 feet giant issued a challenge to the QB after he talked about working on his jump shot. 

What could be stopping the NBA legend from talking about his NFL counterpart? Well, it is a question that only O’Neal can answer himself.
