Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t seem to believe Klay Thompson’s relationship with Megan Thee Stallion will last that long. In fact, he reckons Klay will not go into the 2025/26 NBA season with the rapper as his partner.

The former Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat center riffed on the surprise couple during a recent episode of his podcast, ‘The Big Podcast with Shaq,’ with co-host Adam Lefkoe bringing them up.

Shaq didn’t say too much, but he made it clear that Klay and Megan would not go past “six weeks.”

That’s all he said after the topic came up and, pressed for clarity, he repeated himself.

“Six weeks!”

Mike Tyson, a guest on the show, gave the new celebrity couple a better chance.

Shaquille O’Neal Is Pushing It

Klay and Megan appear to have something serious going on and are definitely one of the hottest couplings across sports and entertainment at the moment.

The hip-hop star recently posted a playful workout video showing them in the gym, joking that the Dallas Mavericks sharpshooter was plotting her downfall during Russian twists and teasing him for holding her butt while she was working on the pull-up bar.

“I don’t think I needed that much assistance, but I think that was his favorite part of the workout,” she quipped.


A few days prior, they showed up on the red carpet at Megan’s Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City.

Megan referred to Klay as “the nicest person I’ve ever met,” while he praised her charitable work.

Of course, time will tell whether Shaquille O’Neal is right. While the relationship might not go the distance, a six-week period doesn’t seem realistic.

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got away with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
