"This is a song y'all gonna be singing at the end of this year," O'Neal said to the crowd as Queen's "We Are The Champions" blasted over the speakers at the festival.

O'Neal never mentioned the Warriors, and technically the "end of this year" is December, which wouldn't even be midway through Golden State's season, unless Shaq was referring to the Giants or the 49ers?
