The brothers are Ohio natives and longtime Cavs fans.
In honour of the pro football siblings, fans in attendance at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse were given special bobbleheads depicting the duo in Cavs jerseys.
During the NBA on TNT pregame show, Shaq got hold of the exclusive figures to take a closer look.
When it came to O'Neal reviewing the bobblehead, co-host Adam Lefkoe warned him to be careful.

However, as the 7ft 1in NBA legend inspected the figurines, which feature Travis wearing his trademark No.87 jersey and Jason wearing his former Eagles No.62, he accidentally broke one of them.
“Oh yeah, that’s nice,†O’Neal said as he was handed one. "He’s even got the little gold chain.â€
“What do you think of Travis’ hair?†Lefkoe asked. “That’s the Kelce (hairstyle).â€
O’Neal, who had been holding the bobblehead for around 13 seconds, then broke Jason Kelce off its base.

Shaq then looked around in shock before unsuccessfully attempting to reattach Jason to the stand.
The candid moment is preciously why the show's a fan-favourite and fans on social media loved it.
"Either @shaq doesn't know her own strength or that was a really brittle construction," said one fan on X, formerly Twitter.
"Cant keep nice things around coz shaqs just have strong hands," joked another.
"Shaq’s the reason they can’t have nice things!!!" joked a third.
"Everything just too small for Shaq," a fourth added.
Jason and Travis wore the same jerseys depicted in their mini versions and seemed to enjoy the festivities.
They sat court-side and received a standing ovation as they were presented with a ton of cool Cavs-related gear including a golden basketball and a luchador mask.
Jason, who recently announced his retirement from the NFL after thirteen years with the Eagles, was also given a custom framed No.62 jersey by his beloved NBA franchise.
Footage of the Kelces cheering on their hometown went viral, as did them chugging beers with the Cleveland mascot.
Their presence inspired the home team to victory as the Cavs staged a remarkable 22-point comeback to clinch a 105-104 win over Boston.
The Cavs' hero was Dean Wade who drilled the go-ahead bucket with 19 seconds left.
