Did Shaq Really Threaten To Murder Kobe As Reported By Bleacher Report? Hear It From His Lips On His New Podcast Premiering Today

LOS ANGELES, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The biggest super-star in NBA history is poised to make history in the audio medium, as four-time NBA champion and NBA television analyst Shaquille O'Neal invades the podcast world with his 10 million social followers and countless fans worldwide. PodcastOne, the leader in advertiser-supported podcasts with more than 200 programs providing advertisers with over 400 million monthly impressions, premieres The BIG Podcast with Shaq, hosted by O'Neal and Sports Radio personality John Kincade, PodcastOne Chairman and CEO Norm Pattiz announced today. Much larger than sports, the podcast is a fun, topical and slightly irreverent weekly talk, news and entertainment show filled with all-star guests, controversy and Shaq's crazy life. With new episodes available Mondays at PodcastOne.com, the PodcastOne app and iTunes, today's debut episode features three-time NBA champion and former teammate Rick Fox, as well as Deflategate discussion and Shaq's response to recent reports that he threatened to murder Kobe.

"I'm looking forward to talking about everything that's on my mind," said O'Neal. "And I have a great partner in John Kincade, I call him the Larry Bird of podcasting. He knows the game and every big man needs an outside shooter to lean on."

Pattiz said, "I've known Shaq from courtside since he became a Laker. This guy will tell you everything. No thought goes unspoken, and you'll get to know the man and what he thinks in a way that's never been possible before. He's smart, open, interesting and generous. In fact, I wear the Lakers championship ring he gave me every single day as a tribute to his generosity. Having his podcast as part of PodcastOne's network lineup is a thrill for me on a variety of levels."

Kincade said, "The opportunity to work with Shaq was too big to pass up, no pun intended. He's a superstar, and we have a lot more to talk about than just sports. He's one of the most interesting and dynamic personalities in the media."
