Shaquille O'Neal and Will Smith

Former NBA and Los Angeles Lakers hotshot Shaquille O’Neal was the most recent whiz figure to think about the disaster that occurred between Hollywood legends Will Smith and Chris Rock.

Talking on The Big Podcast, Shaq extolled Chris Rock for being the bigger man and not fighting back against Will Smith slapping him. O’Neal said:

“There’s two sides of what Chris should have done. He was the bigger man, very corporate, didn’t do nothing, back came with a joke right away, that’s why I thought it was fake cause he is like, ‘wow, Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me’. Kudos to him for having the Martin Luther King mentality, take it on the cheek and continue to be peaceful.”

Shaq additionally talked about how he would have dealt with things assuming he was in the spot of Chris Rock. Shaquille O’Neal proceeded:

“Now, what I would have did, I would have told the people ‘lock the door’. There’s nobody leaving until I get the hold of him. If Denzel and Tyler Perry get in the way, they gonna get these hands. Ain’t no way you smack me, turn around and go sit down. I got to see you immediately, if I don’t see you immediately cause the corporate side kick in cause I don’t wanna lose all the endorsement that I got, I’mma see your ass at the back.”

To say that the NBA world was in shock after the second between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars would be a huge misrepresentation as the hotshots of the association overwhelmed Twitter to spread the word about their sentiments about the fight between two Hollywood legends on live TV.

Like Shaquille O’Neal, hotshots in the NBA like Draymond Green, Steph Curry, Damian Lillard and Kevin Love all took to the online entertainment stage to air their considerations on the disaster and it normally got a great deal of consideration from people all around the globe.

The two callings have generally been interlaced for a long while now as Hollywood whizzes like Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee are quite often participating in a portion of the big games the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks play in, particularly the Lakers during the long stretches of Shaq and Kobe Bryant.

In any case, this is a second that will endure over the extremely long haul as genius Will Smith, at last, wins his first Oscar but the argument of the night will continuously be him going up in front of an audience and slapping comic Chris Rock.
