324 LB Shaquille O’Neal Gets the Most Absurd Challenge of His Life From a 130 LB Streamer

Shots fired! Less than a week after Shaquille O’Neal teased the idea of a streaming career, his challenger has responded. A man with many feathers in his hat, Shaq considered playing video games and live-streaming it. This happened when he appeared on Full Squad Gaming’s podcast, where the hosts informed him of how much one can make doing it.

O’Neal threatened that same streamer’s career by entering the arena. Now that streamer has issued a challenge to beat Big Diesel in his own game. Now wouldn’t that be the match of the year!

Shaquille O’Neal threatened xQc’s job

Félix Lengyel aka Twitch streamer xQc became the buzz of the year with his latest contract. He signed a non-exclusive deal with Kick that is valued at $100 million. That even blows LeBron James‘ $97.1 million Lakers contract out of the water. Shaquille O’Neal was recently informed of this fact.

The hosts of Full Squad Gaming’s podcast revealed the mind-boggling fact to Shaq on their show. Surprised that xQc is making more money playing video games than NBA pros, O’Neal was intrigued.

“He’s in trouble because I’m about to come after him,” O’Neal declared. Considering he’s found success in music, entertainment, restaurants, and so much more, Lengyel should feel threatened if Big Diesel came for his job.

xQc will take on Shaq on the basketball court

O’Neal sounded pretty serious when he said, “I might have to look into that,” after the hosts asked which game he would stream. Shaq then proceeded to congratulate xQc on his achievement and said he was “happy for him.”

Funnily, xQc took the bait. He reacted to Shaq’s challenge in his recent stream before responding with a challenge of his own.

Confident about his ability to absorb any hobby, Lengyel sent a virtual challenge to the NBA legend for a game of basketball. “If you gave me a week at playing basketball, I would roll them in a match of like three-pointers or whatever.”

Lengyel went on to display his severe lack of basketball knowledge. He went back and forth debating the difficulty level of three-pointers and thought it was “just throwing a ball.”

At 6’2″, xQc is one of the tallest streamers currently. But that’s still a whole foot shorter than Shaq’s 7’1″ stature. The best guards in the NBA couldn’t double-team the force that he was. But it would be hilarious to see xQc try to beat him in a one-on-one game of basketball.

Social media users responded as predicted. They’d love to see this match even if they’re sure O’Neal would destroy xQc. But most are hoping that Shaq would indulge xQc in a 1vs1 streaming game. Would you watch that? Let us know in the comments below.
