NBA legend Shaquille O?Neal is an analyst on arguably one of the biggest basketball shows on TV. And he is close friends with all his co-hosts. Especially with Houston Rockets legend Kenny Smith, whose son was once “kidnapped” by Shaq once. And Smith clowns Shaq for a weird reason of claiming kids that aren’t actually his.

Back in the day, before Shaq and Smith were friends, both their children studied in the same school. And one day he took Smith’s son without his permission. He took him out to the mall, got nuggets with him, and even got him a haircut. And when Smith came to pick up his son, they said he went with Shaq.

Smith didn’t know Shaq at the time, and when he contacted him, Shaq said he had his son. And he was upset that Shaq took his son without his permission. He also wanted to call the cops but eventually decided against it. And Shaquille O’Neal did apologize to Kenny years later.

He said, ?He?s the only person I know that claims kids that aren?t his. He calls me like, ?Hey man could you get my son?. I?m like you know what, that?s not your son Shaq, ?Yes it is, he?s my son?. ?Hey could you get my daughter to get there?? No, that?s not your daughter Shaq, ‘Yes it is.’??

Everyone had a laugh about it and one of the co-hosts, Spice Adams said that Shaq is one of the only people to do that. And he joked that he would do that just to give kids haircuts as well.

There is no clear proof about Shaq having 12 baby mammas but everyone had fun joking about it. But one thing is for sure, Shaq loves his kids. And he has six of them from two relationships, and he takes care of them dearly. He also loves kids in general as he is seen buying them gifts all the time while out in public.
