It looks that Shaquille O’Neal is intrigued by the slow change in how people behave in today’s world. The other day, he bemoaned the apparent shift in the social power relations and how he could never beat anybody anymore. While recounting one actual experience, the large man publicly voiced his guilt for this.
In front of Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman in the most recent edition of “POUND 4 POUND,” the 52-year-old shared his viewpoint. He made light of the UFC fighters for seemingly exposing the weaker members of society to all the equipment needed to take on the larger guys.
Shaquille O’Neal reveals how he used to beat up folks
The Great Aristotle explained how this caused him to have to exercise extreme caution when speaking in public and to consider his actions carefully before acting.
“I love y’all of course but I don’t like y’all. Back in my days, I used to smash all little motherf***ers. Just smash them. Say anything, I’m punching your face. Now, because of what y’all do, got to be careful,” he mentioned.
After that, he acknowledged having seen one such incident at a pub. One physically larger man attempted to degrade a smaller man at that time, but he paid a heavy price for it. Shaq claims that without hesitation, the latter “beat the s**t out of this big dude” in public. As a result, the four-time champion learned the invaluable lesson to always intentionally stay in his lane.
Shaq was definitely making jokes during the discussion to emphasize the accomplishments made by the UFC.
However, this shift has helped to create what appears to be social equilibrium. It has compelled the larger men—like O’Neal—to give up using their stature as leverage over lesser people. This idea is extremely significant, especially in light of the repercussions O’Neal has experienced for breaking it.
