Call them the Seattle Shaq-ken.

Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal modeled a Seattle Kraken jersey on Thursday to celebrate the opening of his new fast-food restaurant housed in Climate Pledge Arena.

O'Neal's Big Chicken restaurant is opening its first in-arena location at the home of the Kraken and the WNBA's Seattle Storm.

The restaurant will be equipped with the latest technology and even feature a sandwich exclusive to Seattle.
Listed at 7-foot-1, 325 pounds through his NBA playing career [he retired in 2011 and has become a popular basketball analyst for Turner Sports], O'Neal is likely wearing the biggest Kraken jersey currently in existence.
