Shaquille O'Neal has promised to dress like Stone Cold Steve Austin if the Lakers make it to the playoffs.

It appears that Shaquille O'Neal has little confidence in his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, making the playoffs this season. According to USA Today, Shaq jokingly promised to dress like former professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin if the Lakers make it to the playoffs. When the Inside the NBA crew spotted Dillon Brooks, who plays for the Grizzlies, entering the stadium with an outfit inspired by Austin, Shaq replied, “If the Lakers don't make the playoffs, I'll wear that on the last show.”

It looks like Shaq won't be needing to buy the leather vest if the Lakers keep going at their current rate. After his promise, the Lakers lost to the Grizzlies and are currently sitting in the 12th spot in the Western Conference. The team has had some bad luck lately, with the trade of Russell Westbrook and the injuries to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Since winning the championship in 2020, the Lakers have not returned to the title game and they missed the playoffs last season too.
