Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion haven’t been dating for long, but Shaquille O’Neal already placed his bet on how it’ll go down.
On The Big Podcast with Shaq (timestamp 59:02), Shaq gave a bold prediction:
“Six weeks. The line is six weeks.”— Shaquille O’Neal
Shaq wasn’t joking. Asked if he thought the couple would stick together, he repeated himself: “Six weeks!” His skepticism echoed through the studio, even as guest Mike Tyson countered with a more optimistic take: “Six weeks ain’t nothing.”
Klay and Megan have already made headlines—after debuting their relationship on Instagram, they shared a kiss at the Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York and have been spotted working out together.
Megan told People their first meeting was “like a movie,” and praised Klay as “the nicest person I’ve ever met.”
Whatever Shaq says, she seems all-in.
There’s no shortage of attention: fans are already buzzing about whether Megan will show up courtside for Klay’s Dallas Mavericks games later this year. The NBA season tips off in October.
Still, Shaq’s prophecy has fans reacting—some are laughing, some are rolling their eyes. Social media quickly lit up with memes and countdown threads jokingly marking the upcoming breakup date.
Whether Shaq is right or just trolling, one thing’s clear: the spotlight is on Klay Thompson’s off-court game now more than ever. And with the Mavericks gearing up for a big season, all eyes will be not just on his performance, but on the dating clock too.
Shaq Places Six‑Week “Expiry Date” on Klay’s Summer Romance
Even legends love drama, and Shaquille O’Neal just sparked a storyline that’s trending.
On The Big Podcast with Shaq, the Hall of Famer told co-hosts Mike Tyson and Adam Lefkoe, “Six weeks. The line is six weeks,” when asked how long Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion’s relationship will last.
Shaq stuck by his prediction even when pushed, and the moment lit up social media. Fans joked about setting countdown timers, while others defended Klay and Megan, saying true connections don’t run on a timer.
Back in the studio, Tyson offered a sunnier take: “Six weeks ain’t nothing.”
That duel in beliefs added spice to the episode—and gave listeners a show within a show.
Maybe it’s just a podcast joke, but Shaq’s skepticism caught attention fast. If the couple lasts past fall, the “six-week line” will stand as a viral meme turned gift—or a miss by Shaq himself.
In the meantime, the real winner might be the story—young love, celebrity drama, and a legend stirring the pot.
