"Once you go Shaq you can't go back" - Shaquille O'Neal partying with Ivana Knoll in Mykonos has NBA fans buzzing

Shaquille O'Neal took his DJing talents to Mykonos and had a grand time with Ivana Knoll, Croatian football's superfan. Knoll posted several photos of herself partying with the Hall of Famer.

Fans quickly took to social media to express their opinion, with some of them posting cheeky comments:

“Once you go Shaq you can’t go back,” one fan said.

A fan reacts to Shaq partying with Ivana Knoll.

The LA Lakers legend was asked to highlight the “Islands of the Winds” event. O'Neal reportedly sent the crowd into a frenzy when he took off his shirt and shouted “Sparta!”

One of those in the crowd partying at Shaquille O'Neal's gig was Ivana Knoll. The model shot to fame during the 2022 World Cup when her often daring outfits shocked fans in Qatar.

Knoll parlayed that publicity into becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the world. She created the “Knoll Doll” swimwear and is now a celebrity in her own right.

Knoll has also been part of the NBA scene lately. She has been to LA Clippers and Miami Heat games.

Shaq will be in Mykonos for several more days after his DJ gig. Knoll has reportedly been in the city for a while but it’s not clear how long she will remain there. She is currently based in Miami where she highlighted the New Year with Jamie Foxx and has been spotted with Drake.

Shaquille O'Neal has become one of the most popular DJs in the world

Who would have thought that once Shaquille O'Neal hung up his basketball jersey, he would turn to music? A few months after retiring, Shaq dug in and worked hard on his DJing skills.

The LA Lakers icon took on the name “DJ Diesel” and never looked back. O’Neal’s performance at Excision’s Lost Lands festival in Ohio made him a force to be reckoned with.

In 2019, Shaquille O'Neal was one of the performers at the famous Tomorrowland in Belgium. It’s an event that plays host to a wide variety of music artists. Shaq stood toe-to-toe with the best of them.

Last year, the three-time NBA Finals MVP was in Croatia to dazzle fans with his DJing. The Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic added star power as he joined Shaq in the party.
