NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal is impressed by Tom Brady’s resumption.
He was so impressed with him that he mentioned Brady’s success with the New England Patriots, where we won six Super Bowls in 20 years, and how quickly he was able to move on to another franchise and use them in his freshman year as the team’s starting quarterback.

O’Neal, who will host his own Super Bowl pre-game show called ‘The Shaq Bowl’ next weekend, thinks the Patriots got Brady ‘dirty’ at the end of their historic run, and he’s thrilled that the future Hall of Fame QB sticks to his old team by leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2002.
“The way he came in… this is his 10th Super Bowl and [to] play with a franchise and then the franchise a little bit [says], ‘Oh, you’re old, bye!’ and he said, ‘Okay, you don’t want to take care of me, after all, I did it for this town? Look at this!’

“[Then he] goes to another city, promises them a Super Bowl and delivers ??? Wooo !!! said O’Neal through TMZ Sports.
O’Neal doesn’t think Brady is the only player on the Bucs to stay high and dry. Tampa Bay Walks Back Leonard Fournette, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in August, apparently got some advice from O’Neal after he signed a contract with the Buccaneers.

“They got him a little dirty in Jacksonville,” said O’Neal. ‘I had a conversation with him. I told him to keep his head up. So when he went to Tampa, I said, ‘Hey man, this is your chance to let everyone know they were wrong. ”
“He’s playing great,” added O’Neal.
