Talking about the relationship struggles of athletes, Beecroft said it is one of the biggest challenges for any athlete. And said that it is a huge challenge to leave the relationship problems on the sidelines when the athlete steps onto the court. Then former NFL veteran Spice Adams informed the crew that Liz Beecroft is getting married. And the crew congratulated her.

Then the Lakers legend started asking some questions that made everyone crack up. He asked whether her boyfriend is hot and sexy and asked about his pickup line. So she revealed that they met on the dating app Tinder. Shaq said, “Forget Tinder and all the dating sites that don’t believe I am who I am.”
