Shaquille O’Neal and the TNT crew are back doing their thing Thursday night for a couple of good NBA games and we got to learn something about the big man – he didn’t know Pascal Siakam’s first name.
I’m not joking.
Siakam and the Raptors were leading the Milwaukee Bucks at halftime when Ernie Johnson asked Shaq, “You got your eyes on Pascal?” A confident Shaq responded by saying, “No, I’ve got my eyes on Siakam.”
That led to laughs on the set as it was very clear that Shaq wasn’t joking around about Siakam, who has had a good career so far with the Raptors and Shaq should know his first name.
Check this out:
