However, O'Neal said that 'never happened' when he was in the league. Advertisement 'That's a myth,' the 53-year-old O'Neal said, 'I've been in a lot of lobbies — I didn't see anybody. So I remember I was coming in; they did this 'Esquire' article about how the girls would be waiting out. So, I was looking for that. Never happened. Never happened. Trust me, I was the baddest on the road. It never happened. You go and you see people.' Former NBA guard Brandon Jennings, who was a guest on the show, agreed with O'Neal.

And then, you know, us being not committed, everything is an excuse. Because once you say to somebody, 'I'm going to commit,' you've got to do your f–king job as a man. Right?' 4 Shaquille O'Neal pulled back the curtain on NBA players in relationships and explained what it's really like dating as a star player. YouTube/The Big Podcast 'Once I say, 'You're my girlfriend,' do your job as a man. Everything else is an excuse. All that — there is so much into that.

Because we live a — and not all of us — but like, we live a certain lifestyle. And a lot comes with it. And then when that's all stopping, and you trying to go out and look for that, if you don't understand their rules and understand their laws — it'll never work.'

Woman Expects Cat to Sunbathe with Dogs, Not Prepared for What Happens
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman thought her orange cat was about to join her dogs in peacefully sunbathing by the window—but the feline had other plans. Kayleigh Maven (@kayleighmaven) captured the moment on video when her Maine Coon cat Butter strolls over to his two dog siblings, Bacon and Maple, who lay calmly in the sunlight. Instead of settling into the cozy scene, Butter suddenly launched himself onto Bacon, the Husky. The two play-fought until Bacon gently batted Butter away, seemingly unfazed. Meanwhile, the second dog, Maple, a golden retriever, remained utterly indifferent to the chaos. "I thought he was going to aesthetically lay in the sun," Maven wrote in the text overlay. She added in the caption: "Orange cats collectively have two brain cells." The video struck a chord with viewers, racking up 797,700 likes and 3.6 million views on TikTok. Orange cats, particularly tabbies like Butter, are known for their quirky and often clownish personalities. Orange cats tend to be affectionate, social, and vocal, according to Rover. Their bold and goofy behavior has made them internet icons. Dogs Trust say that cats and dogs can live together peacefully, especially when introduced properly and given time to adjust. Some cats and dogs even become inseparable companions. However, the occasional scuffle—or pounce—between pets is often just part of their play routine, especially if both are young or have playful temperaments. TikTokers flooded the comments with their takes on the dramatic moment. "'Oh what a glorious murder' hahahaha," wrote Chante Stewart. "Orange cat AND a Husky??? oh you thrive in chaos," said Jess.

Pryanett/iStock / Getty Images Plus "The cat looks like a piece of the dog fell off and became sentient," added Sara Joanne. "By the dogs reaction this is not unusual behavior lmao," shared another viewer. "The way he landed on the husky like a hat," added one TikToker. "My 6-month-old Maine Coon Franklin wrapped around my Great Danes head! haha," added Becky, relating to the scene. "I have an orange Maine coon too!!!!! Similar personalities I see...." said Liv. And one user summed it up simply: "The sun charged him enough to attack." Newsweek reached out to @kayleighmaven for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.
