Shaquille O'Neal got his wish by running into Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl ... but he seemed a bit more infatuated with the pop superstar's plus-one on Sunday -- revealing he has a big ol' crush on Ice Spice!!

The four-time NBA champ told TMZ Sports last week he wanted a seat right next to Travis Kelce's girlfriend for the Big Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers ... and while that didn't happen, he still got to rub elbows with her on at least two different occasions throughout the night -- even gifting her a Judith Leiber bag, which comes with a $4,500 price tag.

Shaq made sure to show his appreciation for his run-in with Swift -- who ended up sitting with the "Think U The S*** (Fart)" rapper, Kelce fam and Blake Lively instead -- going to Instagram to share the interactions with his followers ... as well as his a special shoutout to 24-year-old IS.

"and @icespice is so dam fine thanks @taylorswift," Shaq said on social media ... which undoubtedly sounds like shooting his shot.

His comment section was flooded with similar takeaways ... with one user joking, "Shaq shot his shot… but it was a free throw 😞"

Another added ... "The last thing I’d expect on my page is Shaq saying ice spice is fine."

Unclear what Ice thought of the gesture ... but gotta respect Shaq's courage to throw it all out there, even if it goes over like a "fart" in a windstorm.

Shaquille O'Neal cumplió su deseo de encontrarse con Taylor Swift en el Super Bowl, pero parecía un poco más encaprichado con la acompañante de la superestrella del pop el domingo, ¡revelando que tuvo un gran flechazo con Ice Spice!

El cuatro veces campeón de la NBA le dijo a TMZ Sports la semana pasada que quería un asiento justo al lado de la novia de Travis Kelce para el gran partido entre los Kansas City Chiefs y los San Francisco 49ers, y aunque eso no sucedió de todos modos pudo codearse con ella al menos en dos ocasiones diferentes durante la noche. Incluso le regaló un bolso Judith Leiber, que viene con una etiqueta de $4,500.

Shaq se aseguró de demostrarle su agradecimiento a Swift, quien terminó sentándose con la rapera de "Think U The S*** (Fart)", la familia de Kelce y su amiga Blake Lively, yendo a Instagram para compartir la interacción que tuvo con la estrella del pop con sus seguidores, así como un saludo especial a la cantante de 24 años, Ice Spice.

"y @icespice está tan condenadamente bien gracias @taylorswift," dijo Shaq en las redes sociales, lo que sin duda suena como que está lanzando sus fichas.

Su sección de comentarios se inundó con interpretaciones similares, con un usuario bromeando: "Shaq disparó su tiro ... pero fue un tiro libre 😞"

Otro añadió: "La última cosa que esperaría en mi página es Shaq diciendo que Ice Spice está buena".

No está claro lo que Ice pensó de todo esto, pero hay que respetar el coraje de Shaq para decir todo esto, incluso si se va como un "pedo" en una tormenta de viento.

Micah Parsons threw some huge praise Patrick Mahomes' way after the QB locked up his third Super Bowl title on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports he believes the Chiefs star should now "undoubtedly" be considered one of the greatest to ever play.

The Dallas Cowboys pass rusher fired off the compliments as he was leaving Allegiant Stadium following Kansas City's thrilling win over the 49ers.

He told us that while Mahomes should have been considered a legend even prior to Sunday's Big Game ... now that he's won his third ring, he's on a "whole 'nother level" now.

Of course, it's tough to argue otherwise ... Mahomes' resume through just six years as a starter is unmatched. In addition to his three titles, the signal caller's also a two-time MVP, a six-time Pro Bowler and a two-time All-Pro.

Clearly, Parsons -- who's played against Mahomes just one time in his career -- thinks it's all enough to put him in Tom Brady territory.

Suge Knight has questioned the legitimacy of losing his Death Row Records ownership since Snoop Dogg acquired it -- but the label's co-owner says that's far from factual ... as they push the mighty DR into the next millennium!!!

Michael “Harry-O” Harris tells us Snoop's purchase of the label is as legit as it gets, and while he admits he's leery of having discussions about Suge ... he still feels the incarcerated ex-mogul is steaming with hot air!!!

Harry-O has been involved with Death Row for some time now, but a beef between Suge and him quickly boiled over ... leaving both men at the helm during times while the other sat in prison.

Harris was pardoned on Donald Trump's last day as President and immediately got to work with Snoop, re-releasing the label's catalog onto streaming services, and dismissing Suge's commentary. As he put it, the loudest in the room isn't always the correct one.
