Shaquille O'Neal has gone by a number of different nicknames over the years, including Superman, The Diesel, The Big Shaqtus, The Big Shamrock and The Big Aristotle, just to name a few.
On Monday, Shaq debuted another alter ego, 'Tex Johnson,' who took it upon himself to call out Stephen A. Smith and his hatred of the Dallas Cowboys.
“First of all, you’ve got to take that damn cowboy hat off and stop talking about the damn Cowboys. You understand me son?” O’Neal told Smith (H/T Yahoo Sports).
“Who is this?” Smith replied.
“Jerry Jones don’t need to do nothing, and the coach will not be fired. Cowboys nation forever,” O’Neal continued. “Now you went on your little … last night, laughing at the Cowboys. You better stop son, I’m telling you right now.”
Check out footage of the prank call in the video embedded below.
Shaq is a longtime Dallas Cowboys fan and if you've seen any clips of ESPN First Take over the years then you know Smith is an avid Cowboy hater. The ESPN host recently trolled Cowboy Nation after their recent loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional playoff game.
