In the blockbuster episode of ‘imPaulsive Clips’, O’Neal sat together with boys to put forth some interesting discussion about his career. Keeping in mind, the charisma of 4-time NBA champion, Paul organized this episode in a different way. Instead of sitting on the couch in a room like in previous shows, the boys interviewed Shaq in front of a large crowd.

In the end, Paul appreciated the legend for giving his valuable time and energy. While Paul was delivering an appreciating message, Shaq interrupted, and pointing towards ‘Prime’ he asked, ‘That’s water’.

Owner of the beverage, ‘The Maverick’ defined ‘Prime’ as a hydration beverage that contains coconut water. To which Shaq replied, “Right, because we’re in competition now.”

Confident, Paul denied Shaq’s claim by saying, “I don’t think we are. I went back and forth with the team on this. Well, I really don’t think we are complementary. Tell me it’s 88 Alkaline right?”

Being hilarious Shaq added, “It’s Alkaline 88 because if I see that in the store. I’m gonna just buy it and just throw it away so my s**t could sit there.”

Why did Shaquille O’Neal think he is in competition with Paul?

Notably, ‘Prime Hydration’ is a sports drink that was launched by Paul along with rival turned friend KSI, earlier this year. Since then he is promoting his venture. As a result, it is doing well against other beverages in the market.

On the other hand, the basketball legend turned business mogul is already in this business. He is an equity partner and on a board of advisors in the largest alkaline water company that manufactures Alkaline88. It is superior hydration that provides pure water with perfect pH.

This is the reason, Shaq believes that Paul is now his competition in the business line.
