NBA icon Shaquille O’Neal is impressed by Tom Brady’s career track record.
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 he was quickly able to go to another franchise and take them to the big game in his first year as the team’s quarterback.

O’Neal, who will be hosting his own Super Bowl pre-game show called “The Shaq Bowl” next weekend, thinks the Patriots “messed up” Brady at the end of his historic run, and he loves the future Hall of Fame. Fame QB is clinging to its former team by taking 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 kinda [says], ‘Oh, you’re old, bye!’ and he said ‘Okay, you don’t want to take care of me, after all, did I take care of this city? See this!’

“[Then he] goes to another city, promises Super Bowl and delivery ??? Wow !!! “O’Neal said via TMZ Sports.
O’Neal doesn’t think Brady is the only Bucs player to run out of money. Tampa Bay running back Leonard Fournette, who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars in August, apparently received some advice from O’Neal after signing with the Buccaneers.

“They did it a little dirty in Jacksonville,” said O’Neal. “I had a conversation with him. I told him to keep his head up. Then, when he was going to Tampa, I said, ‘Hey, man, this is your chance to let everyone know they’re wrong about you. ‘”
“He is playing fabulous,” added O’Neal.
