Shaq appeared on the TMZSports YouTube channel and let the candy out of the bag this week. The Big Fella “accidentally” revealed he’s dropping a new gummy with the biggest candy player in the world! Shaq A Licious XL Gummies. He spoke about Bronny James and his chances and doubts regarding the NBA draft. He also mulled over the best way to deal with pressure for a superstar son like Shareef O’Neal.

A few days ago, Bronny was spotted at Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter’s 18th birthday party. Me’arah celebrated her birthday and re-shared the photo with Bronny and wrote “Brother” to highlight the bond between the two families.

The Los Angeles Lakers legend said that Bronny was like a nephew since he has known him since he was a kid. He wished him well and highlighted how LeBron James “is one of the greatest players” so he will advise Bronny better than most. “You know, we, James and I, we don’t really listen to what people think we can and can’t do.” Talking about the time when King James started in the NBA, people told him he should have played college basketball. “…He turned out to be either the GOAT or you know next to the GOAT however you want to you know have that conversation.”

Shaq hoped LeBron and Bronny end up on the same team after the draft. “But you know Bronny James is my nephew and I wish him well and I hope he does well in the tryouts. I hope he gets drafted pretty high and I hope he gets to play with his father that actually would be awesome too.”

Shaq previously revealed in a YouTube video about his new collaboration. Before the brand promotion he was quick to give serious advice to the next generation of basketball players.

Shaq on pressure Shareef O’Neal and others need to remember

The host asked O’Neal about the pressure on kids who want to play basketball when their dad is an all-time great. Shaq was very blunt and truthful with his answer. He said, “I always tell my children that pressure is when you don’t know where your next meal is coming from.”

He asked them to focus on themselves and just be better, since focusing on themselves will help them bring out their authentic and original personality. Before finishing his lesson, Shaq was smart enough to plug his gummies. He said, holding the packet of gummies, “… people like to bite your head off and they just want to say this and say that. And guess what, you can bite my head off anytime America.“
