“Shaq's always sleeping”: Dwyane Wade and Candace Parker hilariously throw grapes at Shaquille O'Neal after the Lakers legend dozed off

A sleeping Shaq wakes up to Dwyane Wade and Candace Parker trying to shoot grapes into his mouth as they complain about him sleeping too much. 

Shaq has 100% embraced his role as ‘that uncle at a get-together’ and it has resulted in some of the most hilarious videos TNT has put out so far.

This new lineup with Shaq, Dwyane Wade, Candace Parker, and Adam Klefkoe has been seeing a lot of screen time as of late as its looking like the crew might be here to stay, past the era of the Chuck, Ernie, Kenny, and Shaq lineup.

Shaq sleeping has amused the internet for years now, as he’s been a meme for the exact same for nearly half a decade. There has been a significant rise in ‘Shaq prank videos’ nowadays, with this not being the first time he’s been woken up from a slumber due to shenanigans from his friends or family.

In the downtime that the TNT crew gets between games, it would make sense that Shaq rest his eyes before getting back on air. D-Wade and Parker seemed to have had enough of the 4x champ taking a snooze when technically at work. 

In an effort to wake him up, the two took turns trying to shoot grapes into Shaq’s mouth as he slept. This of course led to him waking up confused as to what was going on, and resulted in yet another meme-worthy screenshot.

Shaq’s sons pranked him earlier this year by startling him while he slept, which resulted in him wrestling them to the ground. Wade isn’t a newbie when it comes to having Shaq sleep around him either, as he took to social media to clown him for snoring quite loudly. 

Shaq being a goofball and getting the mickey taken out of him will always be hilarious.
