Shaquille O’Neal‘s fans need a special intelligence agency! Deciphering O’Neal’s cryptic messages has become a real challenge. Netizens had barely caught their breath after their last mission before being tasked with another job. Amidst the uncertainty around his future at TNT and his no-shows at recent Inside the NBA shoots, the Los Angeles Lakers legend has dropped another enigmatic message on his social media, leaving fans and netizens wondering about the reason behind it.

The Big Aristotle took to X and wrote, “Understandable. Have a great day,” along with a peace sign. It seems the 52-year-old has made peace with a certain decision. But he refused to give away anything more than that. While one confused netizen wrote, “Understand what?” another wrote, “Who upsetting you shaqie cookie?”

Now, this is a tough one. The 4x NBA champion and his c0-hosts at TNT are going through a lot. Almost every recent interview and show has had one question in common: Will TNT be able to retain the NBA rights? The $2.5 billion value offered by NBC seems to have satisfied the league, as many reports revealed the deal is almost done.

Amidst this, another factor that has largely affected the fans is O’Neal’s constant absence on Inside the NBA. Shaq recently went AWOL in his podcast too. The episode started with an apology from him and showed past memorable moments from the show. This has further disappointed the fans, with some candidly expressing their feelings on social media. Is that the reason behind O’Neal’s message? However, his last cryptic message wasn’t very hard to figure out.

Shaquille O’Neal supportive message for ex-wife

It was rather a no-brainer considering the viral discussion on O’Neal’s ex-wife Shaunie Henderson’s book. Henderson’s first book, Undefeated, Changing the Rules and Winning on My Own Terms, focused on her life and career. However, a particular part in it, where Henderson stated that she isn’t sure whether she loved O’Neal or not after she discovered his infidelities, caught people’s attention. While some went on to criticize his ex-wife for this, the Los Angeles Lakers legend showed her support.

Taking to Instagram handle, O’Neal wrote, “I understand…I wouldn’t have been in love with me either. Wishing you all the best…All love, Shaq.” The post was captioned, “Trust me i get it.”

The 7’1 NBA icon is truly a big softie when it comes to his family or people he cares about. However, this time, things are a bit different. The comments section shows that netizens are really up to their neck on this issue. We can only hope and wait for the NBA legend to clarify this soon.
