The 4x NBA champion showed up to get the party started for the Ravens. TJ Smith posted a clip of Shaq entering the arena with the caption, “The Diesel aka @SHAQ is here at the @JimmysSeafood. @TheTailGOAT!!! He knows the team to be with today, Ravens!” It is important to know that it is not Shaq that people saw at the Ravens show. DJ Diesel has shown up because the Big Man is going to perform a set for the fans and the team today. Mike Cornblatt, the event manager said, “We have Shaquille O’Neal headlining and DJ-ing at our event. We’re used to doing big events for the Ravens, but I don’t think anything is gonna be bigger than this one.”

Shaquille O’Neal is a Cowboys fan

While Shaq is surely there to set the stage up for the Ravens and their fans, the NBA veteran has been very vocal about his love for the Dallas Cowboys. Unfortunately, the Cowboys had one of their worst seasons in recent history, but even that didn’t stop Shaq from expressing his admiration for the team during his recent conversation with Stephen A. Smith.

In fact, Shaq took it to another level by betting his Texas farm on the fate of the team. He said, “I live on a 50-acre farm right down here in Texas, if they don’t win the Super Bowl, you can have my farm. Here is the paper to Tex Johnson’s farm. If we don’t win that Super Bowl, you can have it. You can have the deed and the trust, it’s all yours.”
