Could Shaq Be the Next Roast Victim?

Shaquille O’Neal, a former NBA basketball star and sports analyst, is the favorite to participate in the next Netflix roast.

The much-loved sports star has proven he has a good sense of humor, as he has appeared on various roasts in the past, such as the Justin Bieber Roast.

His viral speech proved he understands how roasts work, and he is likely to take every joke at his expense on the chin.

Also, he is known for his back-and-forth banter with his co-host and sports legend Charles Barkley.

However, as he has a private, introverted nature, he might not be eager to feature in a roast all about him.

Might Charles Barkley Appear Next?

If Shaq isn’t the star of a roast, you can expect him to appear in a roast of Charles Barkley, who is the second favorite to participate.

The former NBA power forward has proven he isn’t afraid of jokes at his expense, as he and Shaq appeared on Inside the NBA All-Star Roast in 2020.

The duo, along with other NBA basketball players, were roasted by various comedians, such as Tiffany Haddish, Jeff Ross, and Jay Pharoah.

For instance, Jeff Ross made audiences laugh aloud with the joke, “Charles Barkley doesn’t sugarcoat anything except his breakfast, lunch, and dinner.”

As he has a great sense of humor and loves being the center of attention, Barkley is an ideal choice for the next Netflix roast.

Would LeBron James Participate in a Netflix Roast?

As LeBron James is edging towards retirement, a Netflix roast might be a fun way to end his career on the court.

The NBA star has played professionally for more than 20 years, meaning he is likely friends with many current and former basketball players who might be happy to make a joke or two at his expense.

As he is still playing the game, LeBron has the fame and popularity to attract a large audience, and it will provide plenty of joke opportunities for the roasters.

Would Travis Kelce Get Roasted?

Travis Kelce, an NFL tight end, is known for his outgoing personality and might be more than happy to become the next roast victim.

Roasters will have plenty of topics to joke about, too, including his performance on the football field, his relationship with Taylor Swift, his bold dress sense, or the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.

There is no doubt his increased fame could result in him attracting a large and more diverse audience, which Netflix might be happy to capitalize on for the next roast in the series.

Other possible athletes who might be roasted on Netflix include Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Steph Curry, Patrick Mahomes, and Michael Strahan, to name a few.

If you believe Steph Curry will be the next athlete to be given a Netflix roast, you could win $1300 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
