“I Got a Emmy for That Too!”: When 2x Winner Shaquille O’Neal Was Caught Lying About His Directorial Debut on Nickelodeon

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most dynamic personalities linked to the NBA. The 7ft 1″ big man has done it all. From dominating the basketball court on both ends of the floor to winning championships. From acting in movies to having his platinum records to now being an on-air analyst.

O’Neal is also an excellent businessman. Shaq found ways to convert his $292 Million from the NBA into a net worth of over $400 Million. He invests in businesses, endorses brands, and does a lot of things as well.

Shaq currently works as an on-air analyst on Inside the NBA. He also hosts his own show, ‘The Big Podcast’ with Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams. At the end of 2021, the crew decided to play a game of Google Me with Shaq.

Shaquille O’Neal lied about winning an Emmy as a director

While playing Google Me, both Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams could not believe that Shaquille O’Neal had studied at the New York Film Academy. There he had completed one credit in Cinematography and Direction.

Speaking about the same, O’Neal told the two that he had also directed an episode of Cousin Skeeter. He took it a step ahead when he said, “I got an Emmy for that too!”

Shaq directed the 7th episode of the first season titled Mo’ Better Skeeter. However, no Emmys are attached to the same, so Big Diesel was caught again in his web of lies.

He does have two Emmys in his cabinet, but none came from his individual ventures. They came from his time on Inside the NBA along with Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson.
