Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce still has a large decision looming on whether he is going to retire or play again next year.

Shaquille O’Neal is now warning Kelce about making ‘dumbass mistakes’ amid expectations the NFL icon is set to retire.

O’Neal got real with Kelce about retirement and what he felt the multi-time All-Pro needed to do in order to achieve happiness away from the game of football.

Shaq’s podcast, The Big Podcast, shared a clip of the exchange between Kelce and O’Neal as the big man urged Kelce to embrace his family life.

Shaquille O’Neal never minces a word when talking about his life.

“My advice for you is if you are going to retire? Accept it. Enjoy your family, brother. I made a lot of dumbass mistakes to where I lost my family and I didn’t have anybody. That’s not the case for you, so, enjoy your beautiful wife. Enjoy your beautiful kids. And never dwell on what we had. What we had is what we got. You got the ring, people know who you are. Enjoy. Because again, I was an idiot. And I’ve talked about it a long time. I lost my whole family. I’m in a 100,000-square-foot house by myself.”

The Basketball Hall of Famer has admitted in the past to not being the “best partner” to his ex-wife, Shaunie, with whom he has four children.

Shaq initially filed for divorce from Shaunie Nelson in 2007, but the divorce was called off less than a year later. However, in 2009, Shaunie then filed for separation and their divorce was finalized in 2011.

Shaunie has since gotten remarried to a pastor.

Kelce’s future in the sport is currently shrouded in uncertainty, with his teammates expecting the 36-year-old to walk away from the game. That was the report after the Eagles got eliminated from the Wild Card round, but Kelce has stated he has not made an official decision.
