David Beckham's wallet was found on floor by Shaq and he took money out of it

Shaquille O'Neal and David Beckham.

NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal shared an amusing anecdote about the time he stumbled upon David Beckham's wallet in Los Angeles. Known as one of basketball's all-time greats, O'Neal boasts four NBA championships, three with the Los Angeles Lakers and one with the Miami Heat. Beckham, a football legend in his own right, made waves when he transferred to LA Galaxy from Real Madrid in 2007 and has since become co-owner of Inter Miami, playing a pivotal role in signing stars like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, and Luis Suarez. In a memorable appearance on 'The Late Late Show with James Corden', O'Neal recounted the incident in Beverly Hills, while sharing the couch with Beckham's spouse, Victoria.

He humorously narrated his initial intention to pocket the cash from the found wallet until he realised it belonged to Beckham. "I was walking one day in Beverly Hills and I found a wallet," O'Neal revealed.

"Usually when I find wallets I just take all the money out and I just throw them, but this was a nice wallet." Upon discovering Beckham's identity from the ID, O'Neal decided against handing it over to a desk clerk and instead sought out Beckham to return it personally.

"First I played a joke, I was like 'I have your wallet, it's going to cost you a million dollars to get it back', but he knew it was me. [Beckham said] 'Shaq, stop playing'. I was like 'Dave, I found your wallet'. "The funny thing is he [Beckham] said 'There was some money in this wallet, you know what happened?' And I was like 'nope'." Basketball legend O'Neal retired from the NBA in 2012 after an illustrious career that saw him play for the Lakers, Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, and the Boston Celtics. He won the league MVP in 2000 and was named an All-Star 15 times.
