Shaquille O’Neal has an opinion on everything. From basketball to relationship issues, Dr. Shaq has all the answers. The Big Aristotle tackles all of this and more on his podcast alongside Entertainment Tonight host Nischelle Turner and former NFL player Anthony “Spice” Adams. Adams and Turner sometimes have fun at the expense of the eccentric Shaq. The former NBA big man also has opinions that are “out there” and he expresses them freely. His relationship advice is very valuable.

They also come out from the right place and there are no sugarcoated truths in them. Shaq hence, when asked about Tristan Thompson, knew what he would say.

Co-host Nischelle first asked him this question as she was very curious whether he had seen him or not during his European tour. Shaq asked whether he might be single or not, to which Nischelle answered in the positive. Shaq found no story there.

Turner explained that Thompson was going to have a child with famous socialite and reality star, Khloe Kardashian. Hence, it might look bad if the former player is seen prancing around with other women.

Shaq said, “He’s allowed to do that.” The Big Aristotle explained to his audiences why he was allowed to do that. “Everybody’s talking about it,” says the big man, “But I haven’t heard the person say anything”. Shaq wondered why was everyone talking about it. Nischelle educated DJ Diesel about a statement put out by the younger Kardashian saying that they haven’t met since December about anything other than the children.

Shaquille O’Neal has experience with this kind of situation

Shaq has experience with these situations. He had a very rocky relationship with his wife, Shaunie. DJ Diesel blames himself for how the relationship broke down. He never has mentioned anything specific, despite many asking him to. The player wants to maintain that amount of privacy with his loved ones.
