In Lithuania, O’Neal attended a EuroLeague game between Zalgiris Kaunas and Olympiacos. During the visit, he remarked that European basketball is ‘a little bit better than the NBA game,’ citing the high level of intensity and competitiveness maintained throughout the season compared to the NBA.

His tour continued in Poland, where he participated in a 3x3 basketball tournament in Warsaw and was received by Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. The itinerary included a charitable event in Łódź titled ‘SHAQ Presents All Stars League 3,’ featuring a dunk contest and musical performances, with half of the broadcast proceeds intended for charity.
