Shaquille O’Neal Forbids MrBeast From Revisiting Record-Breaking Stunt Despite Fan Pressure

4 min read

Would you be able to control the possibilities of content if Shaquille O’Neal and MrBeast were to collaborate? Turns out Big Diesel himself is unable to do so. James Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast recently made an appearance on Shaq’s The Big Podcast. And the two stars started pondering upon the possibilities where they could work with each other for a video.

Taking inspiration from an instance where Cristiano Ronaldo played 1 v 1 with a fan, MrBeast suggested something similar for him and Shaq. “We just filmed with Serena Williams… I can’t say who the final of the video is… It’s pretty crazy. So, yeah, just doing like some kind of cool 1v1 with Shaq… That’d be awesome,” he said.

Big Diesel, however, wanted to give something else a try. Something that’d seem big. MrBeast suggested going 50-50 on buying Walmart with Shaquille O’Neal, but as we know it, the Los Angeles Lakers star is always looking for something challenging and more attention-grabbing. “How about me and you walk the desert for 100 days…” Shaq pitched the idea to the popular YouTuber.

Why not the desert instead of 1v1 though? Well, Shaq believes both he and MrBeast are legends of their field. “And legends don’t do small things.” Shaquille O’Neal’s co-host from The Big Podcast, Adam Lefkoe, however, had another suggestion. One where O’Neal could do what he often loves doing: disguising himself.

“I got it, Mr. Beast. We both dress up in disguises and we don’t tell anybody who we are, and we’re just best friends… And see who can recognize us. We’ll hit seven different countries…” Shaq said. Whatever the challenge is gonna be, we for sure know it’ll be epic considering it’ll include two legends.

This, however, won’t be the first instance that Shaquille O’Neal and MrBeast will be a part of something common.  The two have already been featured in a documentary show called Beyond The Spotlight. Made under the production of Leonardo DiCaprio, the show included episodes featuring celebrities from different walks of life who tried to bring a change to the environment.

Shaquille O’Neal’s son considers MrBeast his GOAT

When it comes to picking the GOAT of internet personalities, you’d expect some debate. But for Myles O’Neal, the answer was simple—MrBeast. During his appearance on a talk show on Complex with his father, Myles was asked about his top choice.

Without hesitation, he named MrBeast but then turned to Shaq, almost looking for approval. Given the controversies surrounding the YouTube star at the time, Myles wanted to make sure his pick wasn’t too bold.

To his surprise, Shaq fully backed his choice stating he too would’ve taken MrBeast. “I saw the other day he’s handing out 27 teslas. And I met his mom. She’s a wonderful person,” Shaq added.

With Shaq’s stamp of approval, Myles got even more excited. He didn’t just name MrBeast as his GOAT—he made an open invitation. “Hit me up, please,” he expressed his wish to Shaq if the Lakers legend ever meets the popular YouTuber.

It’s to be seen if Shaquille O’Neal remembers this request if Big Diesel and MrBeast actually collaborate for a challenge.
