The bookies believe Shaq will make good on his bet to kiss the feet of Steve Kerr.

But before we delve into that social media silliness, also below are comparative NBA victory totals for every team from before and after free agency/trades. Oddsmakers made some massive adjustments to the numbers given the summer swings.

Back to the fun…after David West made Kerr aware of an old video of Shaq promising that he would kiss the feet of any coach whose team reached the Finals four out of five years, SportsBetting set odds on the big man holding up his end of the bargain. 

Even though Kerr intimated he would let Shaq out of the bet, the odds suggest the four-time NBA champion will in fact plant a juicy one on Kerr’s sneakers. 

Will Shaq kiss Steve Kerr’s feet by the end of the 2019-20 NBA season?
Yes  2/3  (-150)
No  11/10  (-110)

“This story perfectly fits the fun-loving mold of the NBA on TNT broadcast, and I would hope the producers will capitalize on this opportunity one of the times they’re covering a Warriors game next season,” said Adam Burns, head linesman at SportsBetting.ag.

The site posted NBA win totals back in mid-June, and you can compare those with the current over/unders here:
