NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal left Travis Kelce in shock after making joking about meeting popstar girlfriend Taylor Swift during a recent podcast episode.

Having won three Super bowls, been named in the All-Pro in four seasons and earned a spot in 10 Pro Bowl matches, Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce is one of the biggest names in the NFL.

Add to this the fact that the 35-year-old is currently dating Pop sensation Swift, and it's safe to say that Kelce is probably one of the biggest names across all of American sport.

Because of this, Kelce has been able to attract several top guests on to the podcast that he hosts alongside brother Jason, including another titan of American sport, Los Angeles Lakers legend O'Neal.

The 53-year-old, who helped lead the Laker to to three Championships in the early 2000s before claiming a fourth with Miami Heat in 2006, became popular for his say-it-all and hilarious personality.

And it's safe to say that Shaq's humour was in top form when he made a risky joke about meeting Swift during an appearance on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast with the Kelce brothers.

Speaking about O'Neal's successful post-retirement venture as a DJ, Travis Kelce said: "You've got to get me on the DJ booth and teach me your ways dog!"

Showing confidence in Kelce's potential, the NBA legend replied: "I got you. You know what's crazy, if you were opening up for your girlfriend [Swift], you'd be a f***ing star! 10 minutes, 20 minutes - hyping up the crowd."

Kelce added: "You know I'm a hype man! I can get it rocking in there, have the Swifties bouncing off the walls before Taylor gets out there."

Before O'Neal decided to speak about his meeting with Swift, saying: "Speaking of Swifties, your brother did something nobody else in the world could do - he walked me right over and I got to shake her hand.

"She was with Ice Spice, I was more on Ice Spice than I was on your woman but I appreciate you very much. I was like 'Hey Taylor, Oh my God Ice Spice! Hey boo boo, how are you doing?'"

O'Neal's comments were immediately met with laughter from both brothers, before Travis thanks the former basketballer for the nice words about his long-term girlfriend.
