Whether it was during his NBA career or his days since retirement, one man has been consistently entertaining throughout his tenure under the media’s eye. Now, after going through a startling change, Shaquille O’Neal remains the same person at his core. Long the butt of jokes about weight, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has gone through an incredible transformation. However, his personality and attitude remain the same amicable one he’s always had. That was on show during the 4x NBA champion’s recent interview as he made a $10,000 challenge.

Shaq was the guest on ‘The Really Good Podcast‘ recently, where he gave some hilarious answers to the host Bobbi Althoff.

“Sexy” Shaquille O’Neal

To call the entire video awkward, weird, or even downright ridiculous is by no means a stretch. However, it was clear throughout the process that O’Neal and the 26-year-old YouTuber share an easygoing chemistry.

One of the more hilarious moments came midway through the episode. Asked about the 7-footer’s gymming habits, the big man was at his comical best. “I don’t need the gym. I’m already sexy. Do you know my theme song?”

Completely stumped by the question, Althoff had a confused look on her face. “If you guess my theme song right now, I’ll give ten thousand to your favorite charity,” O’Neal claimed. In an absolute LOL moment, the 51-year-old started singing, “I’m too sexy for my shirt,”?complete with sound effects and chest pumps.

As Bobbi had a bewildered expression on her face, you couldn’t help but laugh. On the other hand, the former Miami Heat star’s commitment is admirable. After an incredible journey back to leading a healthy lifestyle, it would be safe to assume that O’Neal would have some pride in his transformation. Instead, he remains his usual hilarious and charming self even after a hard-fought battle with his weight.

The 55-pound struggle

Prior to this riot of an interview, Shaq went in-depth about his struggle with weight loss. At a point in time after retiring, the big man exceeded the 400-pound mark. As a result, even a task as simple as going up the stairs became a chore for him.
