Shaquille O’Neal Advice Jason Kelce as The Eagles Star Make Plans for Retirement
Shaquille O’Neal offers Jason Kelce honest advice as the Eagles center considers retiring from the NFL:
I made a lot of dumb mistakes, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal gave some brutally honest advice to Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce as the seven-time Pro Bowler considers ending his career. The 36-year-old Kelce is known to be considering retirement and has yet to publicly announce if he will hang up his cleats or return to the field for another season. O’Neal spent nearly 20 years in the NBA – most notably with the Los Angeles Lakers – and won four titles before retiring in 2011.
My advice to you is if you are going to retire, accept it, (and) enjoy your family brother, O’Neal said.’I made a lot of dumb mistakes to where I lost my family and I didn’t have anybody. That’s not the case for you. So enjoy your beautiful wife. Enjoy your beautiful kids, and never dwell on what we had. What we had is what we got.
Kelce, who won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles, has three daughters – Wyatt Elizabeth, Elliotte Ray and Bennett Llewellyn – with his wife, Kylie.Shaq, meanwhile, has six kids but he and ex-wife Shaunie Henderson divorced in 2011 with the NBA legend later admitting he was ‘a serial cheater’.
You got the ring. People know who you are. Enjoy. Because again, I was an idiot and I’ve talked about it a long time, O’Neal added. I lost my whole family. I’m in a 100,000 square foot house by myself. Kelce recently stated that he would like to stay around football in some capacity even if he did choose to retire.
