Shaquille O'Neal was traveling through Europe through the last week, visiting, as he recalls, 7 cities in 7 days.

One of the visits was to the town of Krk in Croatia where he met the Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic and soon-to-be Chicago Bulls member Goran Dragic.

"When I arrived at Luka's town, some people picked me up, they drove me to a mansion that Luka had set out for me," Shaq told during his The Big Podcast. "I had the pizza there, I had the hookah there, I had the fruit. They escorted me to the show."

"Luka said 'Shaq, nothing's gonna happen to you while you're in my town Mr. O'Nealovich'. That's what they called me," the NBA legend continued. "Shout out to Luka and Goran Dragic as their people really set it out for me."

Last week, Shaq made an appearance at a nightclub in Ibiza before performing at two events in Krk and Dubrovnik in Croatia. Shaq then performed at the Dreambeach festival on Saturday in Almeria, Spain before flying out to Tomorrowland in Belgium for the first time since 2019.

"I got there and Luka said 'We know you stay at a hotel but we want you to stay at some place that we have for you'. It was right there on the water, a four-bedroom villa," Shaq told.

O'Neal performed under the name of DJ Diesel throughout the events in Europe.
