Shaq is keeping it real on the Ime Udoka situation.
Last week, the Boston Celtics suspended Udoka for the entire season after he was reportedly caught in a relationship with a staffer.

TMZ uncovered that Udoka was reportedly having an affair with the team’s travel planner, who also planned his fiancee Nia Long’s recent move to Boston.

While discussing the Udoka on his podcast, Shaq admitted that he wouldn’t comment on the situation because he was a “serial cheater” himself.
“I am going to step down from this conversation. I was a serial cheater,”. “It would be crazy and blasphemous for me to get up here and say, ‘Boom, boom, bam.’ I can’t do that. I know these guys personally. I know they’re going through a lot because I went through a lot.”

Fans applauded Shaq for his honesty.
This is the most honest quote Shaq has ever given. The stories I've heard of his "road wives" are legendary. https://t.co/LEPdiGmdn5
