Ex-Lakers star defends Shaq O’Neal after he is suspected of putting poop in a teammate’s shoes 

The NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal is known for being a joker and a hilarious man. On the programme “NBA on TNT,” fans may see him pull practical jokes on other NBA icons. A few of Shaq’s former teammates have discussed some of his pranks in the locker room during his playing days. Shaq trying to put poop in a teammate’s shoes was one such instance. However, it appears that the report may not be accurate.

Tyronn Lue, an ex-Los Angeles Lakers player, allegedly claimed Shaq defecated in Devean George’s sneakers. George has now revealed that the rumor is untrue, though.

Shaq putting poop in his teammate’s shoes: A myth or a fact?

On the “Knuckleheads” podcast, Tyronn Lue appeared on the show and discussed a range of fascinating topics. He mentioned Shaq O’Neal putting poop on his teammate’s shoes throughout the show.

Additionally, he claimed George slid his foot inside the sneaker without realising what was within it.  This incident dates back to the early 2000s, Lue added. George has already refuted the assertion, though. “Hell no, that’s a lie, that’s cap and I know T-Lue started that…..That never happened….I think he did that to someone in Orlando. I don’t remember the dude’s name, but he did that in Orlando. But he never took a s*** in my shoes.”

The three-time champion said that if O’Neal had done such action, he would have engaged in a combat with him. He said that he adores the former MVP and recalled how well they got along when playing for the Lakers. Regardless of whether or not anything occurred in the Lakers locker room, there is obviously no hatred between the two.
