Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal has tapped Adam Lefkoe to host his podcast, taking their relationship to the next level. Lefkoe and Shaq have a strong connection and chemistry, which was evident from their first show together.
They share a playful dynamic, with Shaq often teasing Lefkoe about his “white guy” voice. They have also created viral videos in which Shaq lip-syncs Lefkoe’s voiceovers.
Lefkoe admires both Shaq and Charles Barkley’s intelligence and believes they are much smarter than they let on.
The two have a mutual trust and aim to have fun with their podcast, with Lefkoe focusing on making Shaq shine. Their partnership promises insightful conversations and possibly more broken sets.
In a recent episode of the Big Podcast with Shaq, the former NBA player revealed his choice for an unstoppable duo with a current player. He selected Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, praising his leadership and phenomenal season.
Adam Lefkoe: "If you were in your prime, who would you want to pair up with?"
Shaquille O'Neal : "Anthony Edwards, cause he's a dawg."
Do you think a prime Shaq and Ant duo would dominate the NBA? 👀

Shaq believes pairing up with Edwards would create a formidable duo, with Edwards providing shooting and scoring abilities while Shaq dominates in the paint. Edwards has an aggressive playstyle reminiscent of players from the ’90s era, which Shaq appreciates.
At just 22 years old, Edwards has already established himself as one of the league’s best players and possesses impressive athleticism. Shaq believes Edwards embodies the right way to play the game, with tenacity and passion.
Shaq and Lefkoe’s podcast partnership and Shaq’s choice of Anthony Edwards as his ideal teammate showcase their shared enthusiasm for the NBA and their desire to provide entertaining and insightful content for their audience.
Both relationships promise exciting and engaging conversations for fans of basketball.

Yo fuck Shaq. He did have a prime AE. His name was Kobe mf Bryant and @SHAQ ‘s fat ass came unprepared and not in shape year after year. Yall should stop asking unserious players serious questions.
