NBA commissioner Adam Silver also appeared on the show on Thursday to send love to O’Neal’s family.
“We always talk about the NBA as a family and it’s times like this where we’re together and we’ve all known Shaq’s mom Lucille since he came into the league and I met his sister many times,” Silver said. “So from everyone at the league, but me personally, my condolences to Shaq (and) to his family.”
“Big Fella, you hang in there,” Johnson added.
