Shaq Is Ripping Off Stone Cold Steve Austin?

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin are two of the greatest names in the respective sport. The Los Angeles Lakers has promised to wear ‘Stone Cold’ outfit if the yellow and purple outfit makes the playoffs.

 


 

Shaquille O’ Neal made a huge promise

On Tuesday, Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks showed up to the game against the Lakers in a Stone Cold Steve Austin-inspired outfit. His look featured a black vest with no shirt and ripped jean shorts. O’Neal and his fellow “Inside the NBA” crew got a kick out of the outfit and the big man said that he would wear it if the Lakers make the playoffs.

“I’ll wear that on the last show,” the Hall of Famer said with a straight face.

The Lakers lost 121-109 on Tuesday night and are currently 12th in the Western Conference. They could be without LeBron James for several weeks as he deals with a foot injury. They missed the playoffs last year after winning the NBA championship in 2020.

Whether he plays or not, the new scoring king said during All-Star weekend that the rest of the season was “the 23 most important regular-season games of my career.”

“I want to make a push to make the playoffs,” he said. “I don’t want to see myself not being involved in the playoffs for two years straight. It’s not part of my DNA sitting up here talking about records and things of that nature. That’s all cool, but I’m more passionate about trying to make the postseason. That’s just who I am.”
