Shaquille O’Neal is known for his humorous jokes and comebacks with players and celebrities alike. So this one time, he took on wrestler turned actor The Rock.

In 2014, during a promotional appearance for his show, ‘Wake Up Call’, the Rock visited Inside the NBA. A video from his visit has gone viral on social media where Shaq asks Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson when the show will premiere. Johnson was going to answer the question further when Shaq shouted, “It Doesn’t Matter When the Show Premieres”. 

In the same clip, broadcaster Ernie Johnson went through a list of names, asking Shaq if he could beat them. The list ended with the Rock. When Johnson mentioned the former wrestler, Shaq responded: “Yeah, he too pretty”.

The Rocks makes his grand entry

This is when the Rock made his entrance into the conversation, popping up behind them on the big screen of Studio J. He went on to say, “This is what happens. I have known Shaq for a long time.”

The Scorpion King fame then added, “You bring my name up all of a sudden, Shaq says he could beat me. Now I know Shaq is one of the most dominant players of all time… four world championships, Gold medal, on top of that he made, ‘Kazoo’… I mean “Kazaam” It doesn’t matter what it is. The bottom line is Shaq can’t beat me.”

The Big Shamrock further asked the Rock if he thinks Shaq can beat Charles Barkley. First, the Rock responded “no,” and then he asked if the 4x Champion was confident that he could handle Barkley.
