Shaq said \"it was a lot of fun\" filming on set with fellow NBA analysts Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

\"We had a lot of outtakes. But it's also great to tell your friends 'I told you so,'\" Shaq said. \"A lot of people look at the commercial and think they're too cheesy, but nope, they're quality insurance.\"

Thinking about other famous basketball trios, the four-time NBA champion said if he could build his own Big Three with any other players of all time, it would be \"Me, Michael Jordan and Jason 'White Chocolate' Williams.\"

One real-life matchup on Shaq's calendar is his All Elite Wrestling in-ring debut. He's wrestling Cody Rhodes on March 3 in a mixed tag-team bout, \"so I'm gonna have to beat him up,\" he said.

When asked about his training, he said \"I can't tell ya, I'll just have to show ya.\"

Although the 2020-21 NBA \"season is still young\" Shaq said that \"Utah, the Lakers and Brooklyn are all playing well.\"

Shaq will be in on the All-Star Weekend action and back with \"Inside the NBA\" on TNT for the second part of the regular season, but he said \"there are about four or five teams in contention to become champions.\"

\"I'm biased,\" he said after seeing the Lakers take home the title last season, \"but I want to see the best players shine and the best team win.\"
