NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is enjoying his single life to the fullest. The 51-year-old is known for his quirky nature and for having interesting banter with the people he works with. Shaq is the one to lighten up the room with just his presence, but the big man sometimes gets carried away and reinvents new angles while re-telling stories. That was the case again when O’Neal reminisced about an incident involving a “cute” woman.

Shaq is also very popular among women and considering his personality and fame, it is not a shocker. In fact, he is known to be a flirt and never misses a chance in his sight. Recently, Shaq was on a podcast where he was nonchalantly flirting with the host while recalling a 10-year-old encounter he had with her at a mall.

Shaquille O’Neal digs up a decade-old story while flirting with Amber Tai on camera

The Los Angeles Lakers legend is as publicly friendly a personality as one can think of. Last month, Shaq was on the It’s Non-Negotiable Podcast where he talked about an encounter he had with who is one of the hosts of the podcast, Amber Tai. Shaq said that he saw Tai at a store 10 years ago when she was having some trouble picking something up from the top shelf.

The Big Man said, “She’s cute, she’s got a great body. She’s seen me come in and she saw something that was way at the top.” Shaq then described what Tai did to get his attention while asking for help. He said, “She knew she couldn’t reach so she turned around and put the little booty out.”

Embarrassed by Shaq’s description of the incident, Tai told her version of the story. She said that she used to work at a restaurant where one of her tasks included cleaning the bathrooms. She was getting all the supplies to clean the bathroom when Shaq walked in. Tai recalled Shaq telling her, “You too fine to clean the bathrooms”. He took the toilet papers from her hands and placed them on the top shelf. She added, “I was cleaning the bathroom” and not making any moves on Shaq as he suggested in his telling of the story.

O’Neal had no reply to Tai’s comments, suggesting the big man was indeed lying. Whatever the case, the story left the rest of the crew in splits.

Shaq put his wisdom on display on the Podcast

The four-time NBA champion is nicknamed The Big Aristotle for a reason. Having been through different situations in his life, Shaq has soaked in a lot of knowledge which he loves to share with everyone. Shaq acknowledged that in his younger years, he was not big on compromising his stance for anything. Now that he is a different man, he is more open to listening, and he tries to be fair.

He said that earlier he used to be strict on the no makeup rule for the women he would date. Now, in his more mature phase of life, he allows the other person to be what they want.
