Shaquille O’Neal and his eccentric habits

During a conversation with SiriusXM at the NBA Summer League, Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith couldn’t resist sharing some amusing anecdotes about his NBA colleagues, including the ever-entertaining Shaquille O’Neal.

According to Kenny, Shaq has a unique fascination with FaceTime. The 4x NBA champion apparently video calls at the most unexpected moments. What sets these calls apart is not only the timing but also the locations from which Shaq initiates them. Kenny said, “Shaq always Facetimes you. But he could be anywhere while he is Facetiming.”

“He is that. An interesting character,” the 2x NBA champion added. While Kenny Smith shared amusing insights about Shaq, he didn’t hold back when it came to Charles Barkley. Kenny revealed that Charles is not one to mince words, often greeting callers with a string of expletives before getting straight to the point.
