Shaquille O’Neal, a legendary NBA player and Hall of Famer, hosts a weekly podcast with co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams. O’Neal is widely recognized for his playful and prankish behavior with his fellow hosts on-screen. In a recent episode of the podcast, O’Neal did not seem to spare his female co-host Turner for an alleged ‘thirst trap’ – so to speak. The conversation involved the popular actor Michael B. Jordan and his female fan base.

Shaq suggested that Turner had been “thirsting” over Jordan, but Turner responded by revealing that Jordan is her nephew. As a highly popular figure, Michael B. Jordan’s name often makes headlines and elicits interest from the media and fans alike. 

Playful banter on Shaq podcast takes a turn

In the latest episode of the Shaq podcast, Shaquille O’Neal and his co-host Spice Adams playfully teased their fellow host, Nichelle Turner, for allegedly “thirsting” over actor Michael B. Jordan. However, Turner quickly shut down the suggestion, stating that Jordan is actually her nephew. During her explanation, O’Neal interrupted her, playfully calling out the change in her voice when discussing Jordan. 

The exchange was all in good fun, until O’Neal took it a step further, asking Turner if she had seen Jordan’s underwear. Shaq asked, “did you see his underwear?” To this question, Turner responded, “I mean he had 18 abs in that thing, I mean there was like abs everywhere.” O’Neal then jokingly asked if she counted his abs, to which Turner replied that she stopped at 14.
