7 foot 1" Shaquille O'Neal Once Challenged a Bull, Only to Get Brutally Defeated Over and Over Again

Shaquille O’Neal had a long career in the NBA. Countless games, so many of which had too many countless moments to count. And of course, some of them took place against the Chicago Bulls as well. In fact, this little moment against them has become iconic in its own right.

However, we’re not here to talk about those Bulls. No, this piece is being dedicated to a certain other kind of bull. And let’s just say, this time it was Shaquille O’Neal who was dominated completely.

Shaquille O’Neal’s experience with a mechanical bull wasn’t the prettiest

Shaquille O’Neal stands at a towering 7’1”.

Why is that relevant? Well, having that type of frame means that there is also a lot of weight to be thrown around. And to put it in the nicest way possible, there was more than a little bit of it when Shaq came crashing down from the bull.

And as if once just wasn’t enough, it happened over, and over again.

Take a look at the YouTube clip below.

Shaquille O’Neal truly does spend a lot of time getting thrown around from place to place on TNT’s ‘Inside the NBA’. However, at the very least, this time it was relatively safe.

However, when the man was thrown by Kenny Smith, it was anything but that.

Shaquille O’Neal went crashing into the tree on Christmas

Christmas is a big deal for TNT.

On Inside the NBA, the channel decided to put quite a bit of decoration on set to get the festive mood going. And of course, along with all that, there was a tree as well.

The only problem was that it apparently had Shaquille O’Neal’s name written all over it.

Fortunately, everybody came away from this incident unharmed.

However, a few more times of this, and it won’t be long before something does really go wrong.
