WATCH: Legendary basketball player Shaquille O’Neal does the McGregor walk

He also called it “the Irish walk”.

Conor McGregor has taken the fight game by storm, and based on the past two weeks, he’s doing the same in the basketball world.

First, The Notorious scored a basket on the Madison Square Garden floor during his open workout. Then, Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies mimicked his “billi strut” after sinking a 3 pointer this week. And now all-time great Shaquille O’Neal has given it a go, referring to it as “the Irish walk”.

The McGregor walk in this instance is his own take on WWE CEO Vince McMahon’s ‘Power Walk’. McGregor has paid homage to McMahon before, referring to him as a “don” during his tirade of abuse towards the rest of the WWE.

McGregor’s so-called billionaire strut has to be taken with a little bit of salt, due to his net-worth being valued at a measly 22 million dollars, according to Forbes. McMahon however, can billionaire strut all the way to the bank, with Forbes reporting his outstanding net-worth of 1.12 billion dollars.

That being said, Conor does have more than 40 years to catch up, and the way things are heading, we wouldn’t rule it out.
