Ex-Lakers champ Devean George needs to clear the dookie-smelling air … telling TMZ Sports Shaquille O’Neal NEVER took a dump in his shoe — regardless of a rumor saying in any other case.
Tyronn Lue initially began the gossip again in June on Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles‘ “Knuckleheads” podcast … saying that the incident occurred within the early 2000s, when he, George and O’Neal have been all L.A. teammates.
According to Lue, Shaq was so pissed that George did not deliver donuts to a gathering … he grabbed one of many small ahead’s sneakers, took a crap in it, after which put it again like nothing ever occurred.
George then allegedly stuffed his foot within the shoe — getting O’Neal’s bowel actions throughout his foot.
But, after we acquired the Devean out at LAX final week — he referred to as BS on all the allegations … saying nothing of the type ever occurred.
“Hell no, that is a lie, that is cap,” George mentioned, “and I do know T-Lue began that.”
“That by no means occurred,” he continued. “I believe he did that to somebody in Orlando. I do not bear in mind the dude’s title, however he did that in Orlando. But he by no means took a s*** in my footwear.”
George mentioned if it did go down, he and Shaq would have fought.
Instead, George mentioned the 2 have been superb associates — and ended up successful three NBA titles collectively.
