Shaquille O’Neal Drops Huge Praise on NFL Legend Tom Brady: “He Can Be Down Two-Three Touchdowns, But Don’t Let Tom Have That Ball In His Hand”

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal in his recent episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq shared some huge praises for the NFL icon Tom Brady. He says Brady literally drops the jaws of many athletes by continuing to dominate the world of football in his mid-40s. Surpassing the limits of human capabilities has become a new norm for the quarterback.

Shaq knows the kind of a player Brady is. The 48-year-old NBA legend is one of those fans of the Tampa Bay’s quarterback, who has seen beast unleashed in a game with stakes as high as one can imagine. Shaq does not shy away from sharing unstoppable Brady moments in the podcast.

The Big Podcast host Nischelle Turner brought up the topic of the upcoming Divisional Round fixtures. She expressed excitement for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills matchup. It is going to be no less than a rematch for the 2021 AFC Championship game when the Chiefs downed the Bills by 24-38. However, Shaq had more interest in the Rams fixture.

Shaq asked Turner about who will the Rams go up against next week. “The Rams playing the Bucs,” Turner replied. To which Spice Adams said that “the Rams won the last meeting.” However, it is going to be a showdown between them next week, considering Brady’s playoff record.

Shaq then highlighted how much he admires Brady. “Tom knows what it takes, another one for that, Tom never panics,” Shaquille said. “That’s what I love about Tom and his team. He can be down two-three touchdowns, but don’t let Tom have that ball in his hand. During the closing moments.”

The NBA legend then went on to describe how he was enthralled by Brady’s resilience when he witnessed him unleash his beast in one of the Super Bowls. The Super Bowl that Shaq referred to was the Super Bowl LI played between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.

During that game, the Patriots were trailing the Falcons by 28-3 at the start of the second half. Yet, Brady helped his side come back from that deficit and claim the Super Bowl. It was at that moment when Shaq knew that there is no stopping Tom Brady. “You can never count the X-factor,” Shaq said of Brady’s influence on games.
