Mark Zuckerberg?s new Meta platform is already gaining momentum. Various celebrities and known NBA personalities joined ?Threads? in its first week. Amongst them is 4-time NBA champion Shaquille O?Neal. As a prolific entertainer, it only made sense that Shaq would take to the new platform. But his comments on there have been particularly interesting. He wrote about his “fellas” and left his fans feeling emotional.

The former player recently took to the new social media site to remember someone who may be leaving his side for a new opportunity.

Since his retirement, Shaq has been a member of TNT?s ?Inside the NBA? show. Alongside him as co-hosts are former 76ers player Charles Barkley, former Houston Rockets player Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith, and iconic sportscaster Ernie Johnson Jr.

A few hours ago, Shaq posted a video on Threads with the caption ?dam i miss the fellas.?

The video showed a segment the crew did after Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. It featured a discussion between the four members where Barkley took up an aggressive Boston accent and said, ?I would love to sit on top of the Monster.?
