13 years after the end of his NBA career, Shaquille O’Neal continues to make headlines in the league’s microcosm, particularly through his love life.

He has also responded firmly to the recent viral rumor on the subject.

Few players who have played in the league are still making headlines a decade after their retirement.

Shaquille O’Neal is one of them. It must be said that he remains very talkative these days, especially when he has the opportunity to take on Rudy Gobert .

That said, he also sometimes makes headlines unintentionally, and without having to say a single word.

Shaquille O’Neal Gets Straight About His So-Called Tiny Girlfriend

Very active on social networks, O’Neal is used to posting many photos and videos.

However, in the last few hours, it is a photo on which he seems to simply appear that has turned the web upside down, since he is there in the company of his alleged new girlfriend .

The rumor spread quickly in any case, before the legendary pivot came to deny it… in his own way:

Shaquille O’Neal: Are these my girlfriends too? Trust me, I’ll tell you who my wife is. And by the way, my married name is Shaqirah

In order to exonerate himself, Shaq shows through this montage that it is not rare for him to take this kind of pose with adoring women who ask him for a photo.

Based on this post, it would be better not to believe in any connection between the glorious NBA pivot and the young woman who started this buzz.

However, the latter also followed up on her initial publication by sharing images proving that she did indeed end up in Diesel’s hotel room with him:

Despite a seemingly subjective pose, Shaquille O’Neal tried to dispel the rumors that linked him to his new designated girlfriend. In view of the new elements brought by the latter, we must therefore believe that this was only a story without a future.
