This is insane. We mentioned that new Bucs guard Shaq Mason is Shaquille Olajuwon Mason, named after the two former NBA stars. Well, his new teammate, Bucs pass-rusher Shaq Barrett, was born a year earlier in 1992, and is Shaquil Akeem Barrett, named after the same two players. - — Greg Auman (@gregauman) March 24, 2022 - - - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a pair of Shaqs, one on both sides of the ball, both of whom will be expected to make a big impact for them this season. - It wouldn’t be surprising to know that both Shaq Barrett and Shaq Mason are named after basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, but it doesn’t stop there. - Both players also have a middle name inspired by another NBA Hall of Famer. - Barrett and Mason are both named after not just O’Neal, but also Houston Rockets legend Hakeem Olajuwon, as Greg Auman of the Athletic points out. - Hopefully, the Bucs will get the same kind of impact from both of them that O’Neal and Olajuwon had on the hardwood. - - List - - 2022 NFL mock draft: New 7-round projections for Bucs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Bucs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Bucs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
