Shaquille O’Neal had a night to forget while on set during the pregame show of Inside the NBA on TNT. During the show, the crew had the Kelce brother’s bubbleheads and the moment it got in the hands of O’Neal, he accidentally broke it.
The bubbleheads were miniatures of Kansas Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce wearing custom-made Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys. The bubbleheads were issued to fans who attended the Cavs game last night against the Boston Celtics at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Shaq had earlier been warned by his co-host, Adam Lefkoe to be careful with the fragile souvenir but he didn’t get the memo as 13 seconds later he broke it. The former then had a shocking look on his face as he attempted to fix it.
The bubbleheads miniature were given out by the Cavs as a way of honoring the Kelce brothers, who are Ohio natives. And also, to commemorate Jason, who confirmed his retirement on Monday after 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent his entire career and helped them win their first NFL Super Bowl in 2018. To celebrate his successful career, he was given a customized framed number 62 Cavs jersey by his native team.
Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce were special guests during Celtics vs Cavs game
NFL players and brothers, Jason and Travis Kelce, were special guests of the Cleveland Cavaliers during their Tuesday night game against the Boston Celtics. The brothers are strong Cavaliers fans and were present courtside for their bubblehead night giveaway, where every fan present in the arena received their one-of-a-kind figurine of the famous brothers.

The brothers also received more Cavaliers merch as they got a customized basketball and a luchador mask, identical to the one Jason wore while celebrating with his brother Travis after Kansas City’s most recent Super Bowl LVIII win.
The brothers attended Cleveland Heights High School and have both been inducted into the school’s Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame. The Cavs did win on the Kelce Bothers’ night as they overcame the Celtics 105-104 in a closely fought game after a strong 4th quarter outing.
