This is the third time that Shaq has been scheduled to perform as “DJ Diesel” in Indianapolis. The last two times didn’t happen.
New Years Eve for 2022/2023, last year’s Indy 500/Snakepit, and now All Star Weekend.
Third time the charm?
He’ll definitely be showing up for this unless he’s seriously ill considering he’s a host of Inside the NBA lol.
And just when I thought I couldn’t care any less about the All Star Weekend
Insightful.
Finally a free event!
