Shaquille O’Neal, ‘Rips’ Jason Away From Travis Kelce Moments After Cavs Souvenir Debut
Follow Us
When Shaquille O’Neal wants it, he gets it. After Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce were celebrated during the Cavaliers Bobblehead Night on Tuesday’s game, Shaq made sure he got a souvenir of his own to keep. TNT Tuesday showed off the first glimpse of the Kelces bobblehead, which Shaq was given to admire up close. Like the “Big Kid” his mother makes him out to be, O’Neal had an oops moment on live TV.
The Kelce brothers, who grew up in Cleveland Heights, were the special guests at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse where the Cavs won 105-104 over the Celtics. All the fans that attended the game received a bobblehead of the reigning Super Bowl champion and his retiring brother. Jason and Travis were also wearing the same jerseys as their bobbleheads.
O’Neal was admiring the details in the bobbleheads, like “It even has the gold chain,” and accidentally ripped Bobblehead Jason Kelce away from his brother, leaving only his sneaker behind on the stand. Naturally, it made his co-hosts really mad and Shaq embarrassed. Maybe it’s a metaphor for Travis being left behind in the NFL now that Jason has retired.

This is an exclusive collectible the TNT crew got their hands on. Adam Lefkoe drove that home with his whining, “Jeez man, we can’t even have nice stuff around here. You just ripped Jason Kelce off.”

While Travis gave his seal of approval for looking cool spinning a basketball, Jason said he looks way better in person. Jason, who’s calling it a day on a 13-year NFL career, was also presented a custom framed no.62 jersey along with a standing ovation in the arena. The Cleveland Cavaliers gave them a lot more custom gifts to commemorate the night. The brothers better protect their presents from Shaq’s clumsy hands.

From backboards to bobbleheads, nothing is safe when Big Diesel is around. Fans were hilariously dismayed at the big man for exposing the brittle construction of their limited edition collectible. Adam Lefkoe even warned him to “be very careful.”

O’Neal loved the design too and was all praise for the “Travis hair” and the fade. Jamal Crawford joked, “Shaq said, ‘These ain’t no damn Reeboks.'” The crossover icon won the best joke with that remark.

It’s no slight to the Kelces. Shaquille O’Neal is a big fan of both and Taylor Swift. It’s just a regular day of him not knowing his own strength.
