Shaquille O’Neal on Joe Burrow’s Dashing Cigar Photo: “He’s a White Guy With a Swag. When the Cameras Turn On, Kinda Like Myself”

LSU alumni Shaquille O’Neal now has a thing for Joe Burrow. It feels that the NBA legend is smitten with the 25-year-old Cincinnati quarterback after his exceptional campaign. And honestly, who wouldn’t be? The young man has shown some out-of-the-world performance, by helping the Bengals dramatically reach the Super Bowl.

The young Bengals sensation has already made a brand out of himself. He has arguably become the most likable player in the NFL this season. But his mesmerizing swag outside the field is a gossip in the NFL town. His signature cigar celebration, along with those cool chains, has caught the attention of not only football players but of NBA legends too. 

Shaquille O’Neal impressed by the swag of Joe Burrow

In the latest episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, the Lakers legend revealed why he is so impressed with Joe Burrow. “Let me explain Joe Burrow to you guys,” Shaq said. “WGWS, Okay? He’s a White Guy With Swag.” The 49-year-old LSU alumni openly bolstered his fellow LSU graduate quarterback despite being a big fan of the Dallas Cowboys. 

“When the cameras turn on so like myself, professionalism takes over,” Shaq talked about the swagger demeanor of Joe Burrow. “So when you look at a guy like that, and he’s professional Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom.”

“Then when you see him, something like, oh my god! What’s that! No, he’s always been like that. You should’ve realized that after the LSU game. When everybody’s celebrating, he’s sitting with his legs be on top of legs, and smoking a cigar.” 

Shaq on which team he would support in the Super Bowl LVI

From his cigar celebration to his real golden chain, Burrow has openly shown what kind of attitude he holds. Besides being a professional on the field, his composed demeanor has earned him as much recognition.

While talking about the Super Bowl, Shaq did not incline towards a particular team. He revealed that as much as he has started to like Joe Burrow, he has an equally good relationship with Odell Beckham Jr. Hence for him to root for any particular franchise would be a tough choice. But the way he described Joe Burrow, does it give some ideas which side he would lean?
