Shaq on Joining Tinder, $1 Million Bet, Kazaam’s 25th Anniversary & Myths About Him

Shaq talks about missing people, enjoying tackling people, betting $1 million dollars on an MMA fight, signing up for Tinder and nobody believing that it was him, his 50th birthday coming up and Jimmy potentially planning it, the 25th anniversary of Kazaam, making a documentary about his life, buying Reebok and signing with them to create a signature shoe, putting on “The Event” in support of The Boys & Girls Clubs, living across the street from Wayne Newton, and Jimmy gets to the bottom of urban myths about him in a new game called “SHAQ or BULLSHAQ?”
