Rookie Shaq wasn’t willing to pay Terry Catledge for his # 33 jersey number. “Then he was traded during the middle of the season.”

    Can you imagine people trying to haze a rookie Shaq? Reminds me of the Kenyon Martin rookie story. Some people you just don’t mess with.

    Also I don’t think I ever expected Kirk Cousins and Shaq to interact really ever but in this weird sports podcast world, anything is possible

    edit: [Kenyon Martin talks a little bit about it here](https://youtube.com/shorts/PAyAdBg4KEY?si=x2DxTuTAPtcAcnLw), youtube short but all I could find

  2. I just looked him up and damn he was straight up released, then he went to play a couple of seasons in Europe before retiring in 1995

    Was not expecting Kirk Cousins to be the generic white podcast bro here but he did well

    Bro how many times is Shaq going to change this story. Sometimes he says it was terry than other times he says it was Scott skiles that wouldn’t give him the number

  5. DumasThePharaoh

    Shaq gloats over (a probably fake) story about how he ended some vets career over a super normal request (buying jersey numbers ain’t new)

  6. Shirumbe787

    Orlando Shaq + Penny Hardaway deserved a ring fr

  7. Shaq is one of my favorite players ever but man that dude is petty

  8. grandmasterfunk

    Was Terry Catledge traded that season? It doesn’t list it on Basketball reference

    Man Kirk Cousins and Shaq, what a fucking combo.

  10. Shaq is the most confusing guy. Sometimes he’s nice. Other times he’s just a jerk. Man needs to regulate his ego.

    That question at 0:05 was so fking dumb and so is his reaction.

    How is this man still relevant? Is his dad famous or powerful or something?

    The world of professional sports is absolutely brutal.

    That dude effectively had to pick up and move to France over a number.

  13. Fuck all that, Kirk. You’re in Atlanta now, how’s the strip clubs?

  14. Neat_Park_4881

    Am i fucking tripping or is kirk interviewing him?

  15. People are giving shit to Shaq here, but I promise you if a guy at the end of the Spurs bench had the number Wemby wanted and he tried to charge him for it, people would applaud Wemby for not paying and say it’s karma when the cooked vet got cut.

    This dude thrives off bitterness & resent

  17. We have some humorless motherfuckers in this sub

  18. Exact_Account

    I’m so tired of hearing this dude talk shit

  19. Sm0k3inth3tr33s

    Imagine being on a pod with Lefkoe and Kirk and still managing to be the most cringe dude there

  20. EnthusedPhlebotomist

    Pretty shitty when you’re worth so much but ok. 

  21. FirstTimeLongThyme

    Catledge never played in the NBA after the Magic so who was he traded to exactly? Smells like a bunch of bullshit.
