NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has made a bold prediction about Klay Thompson's new relationship with rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Not only does the Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famer think the  Dallas Mavericks' star, 34, and "WAP" singer, 30, are doomed to fail, he's also predicting that they'll be broken up before the NBA season starts. Ouch. 

Shaq, 53, shared his prediction on the NBA's newest couple on a recent episode of "The Big Podcast with Shaq" after his co-host, Adam Lefkoe, brought up the Mav star's love life. 

"Six weeks," O'Neal said with a straight face. 

Lefkoe then asked him to clarify what he was talking about, to which Shaq doubled down and said, "The line is six weeks... Six weeks."

Mike Tyson pushes back after Shaq's bold take on the NBA star's relationship

O'Neal didn't dive into why he thinks the couple won't last. However, his guest on the show that day, Boxing legend Mike Tyson, disagreed telling the NBA star Megan might have what it takes to keep the relationship going a bit longer. 

"Listen, man, she got shot for that (expletive)," Tyson said. "That might be lasting a long time. You know, six weeks ain't nothing. She got shot for it so you got to give her some credit, right? You got to give her a little credit that she might have some staying power with that (expletive)."

Klay Thompson's relationship timeline with Megan Thee Stallion

Klay Thompson has been dating Megan Thee Stallion since for several weeks. 

The couple made their first red carpet appearance together on July 16 at the rapper's Pete & Thomas Foundation charity gala in New York City. 

The couple quietly confirmed the rumors that they were seeing each other when Thompson appeared in Megan's photo dump on Instagram on July 9. 

In the IG drop, the NBA star could be seen lounging in a pool chair in the back of one of the "Savage" rapper's photos.
