The NBA legend kicked off the interview by explaining his passion for true crime stories in his newly launched series, \u201cGame Day Murders.\u201d <\/p>

When the interviewer posed a question and referred to O\u2019Neal as a celebrity, he quickly spoke up and shunned the title.<\/p>

\u201cExcuse my French, but celebrities are assholes, and I don\u2019t wanna be in that category,\u201d he told Page Six.<\/p>

O\u2019Neal addressed the topic firmly but graciously. <\/p>

\u201cBut thank you for thinking I\u2019m a celebrity but I\u2019m just a regular person who listens to his mommy and daddy and follows his dreams and stay out of trouble,\u201d he told Page Six. <\/p>
