NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has played for six franchises during his legendary NBA career that spanned 20 years. It has been noted that interestingly, despite his superstar status, he is not the most famous contact on his co-host’s phone. On the latest episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq, co-host Nichelle Turner enquired about everyone’s most famous contacts on their phone.
Shaquille O’Neal was surprised
To Shaq’s surprise, Turner has someone more famous than him on her phone. It is none other than eminent TV personality Oprah Winfrey. She said: “You know what Shaquille? I have someone who supplants you. Oprah, yeah.“
Although Winfrey has never made an appearance on Shaq’s famous podcast, there is no doubt that she has the star power that might outshine him by being the most renowned contact on Nichelle’s phone. Former Los Angeles Lakers icon is among the various celebrities to have had a conversation with Winfrey.
It was back in 2017 that Shaq joined Oprah Winfrey on her famous podcast. O’Neal is a big admirer of the billionaire talk show host which is a big reason why he joined Winfrey’s podcast. However, there is another reason. Shaq’s mother, Lucille O’Neal’s favorite lady is Oprah Winfrey and she would be very happy to see her son in Oprah’s show.
Shaq had said:
“Oprah Winfrey is my mother’s favorite lady. When my mother watches this, she’s going to have the biggest smile ever. That’s what it’s all about. Any son that doesn’t try to make his mother smile, you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself.“
