Season 1 of DangerTalk with Russell Wilson & Jeff Dye is here! Our first guest is Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq is an NBA Hall of Famer, 4-time NBA champion, 3-time NBA Final MVP, a 15-time NBA All Star, and that’s only a few of his career accolades. Off the court, Shaq has become just as big of a business mogul, having a number of different, successful investments.

In this episode, Russell talks about his preparation for the 2020 NFL season. We find out who’s on Shaq’s Mount Rushmore of teammates, who he hated playing against, and which current NBA players he likes watching. 

Russell and Shaq talk about how they both overcame adversity at a young age. Shaq credits a majority of his adolescent growth to his father, who helped him become both a “dreamer” and a leader. 

Shaq discusses the late, great Kobe Bryant and their relationship on and off the court; “he was a guy that wanted to be great at 17”. 

Lastly, Shaq makes his picks for the NFL opening night game between the Chiefs and Texans, and who he likes to win the Super Bowl.
