“I’m Black Stephen Curry”: Shaquille O’Neal Hilariously Tries to Recreate Warriors Guard’s Full-Court Trick Shot, NBA Twitter reacts

Shaquille O’Neal is terrible at shooting a basketball, but the man does not give up. Yes, he’s had a few moments where he shot the ball like Prime Stephen Curry, but a 3-point shooter, he is not. He’s hit a few lucky shots recently, the most famous being the shot he hit while DJing, but that’s it.

After a viral video of Stephen Curry’s trick shots floated online a couple of days ago, Shaq was riled up; he wanted to hit some as well. His motley crew, in particular Charles Barkley, wanted to see him try. And try he did!

Shaq was pumped up and stepped outside the set to begin his stride and the shot, which was to be taken through a door. Way to take it up a notch, over and above what Steph did. It almost looked like he was going for the famous tunnel shot instead.

 

What ensued is a series of hilarious events – the studio took the efforts of Shaquille O’Neal and made it into a long Shaqtin-A-Fool reel

Shot 1: very close, but missed the backboard. Shot 2 was much wider and foreshadowed what was to come. The shots from then on became progressively complex and increasingly funny.

Eliciting reactions from not just the other presenters but all the producers and the camera crew as well, Shaq had everyone in stitches. The best part about the whole sequence was the dramatic turn by Earnie, only to see a “Broken” big screen behind him. Shaq turned on friendly fire, and no one was spared.

NBA Twitter could not contain themselves when they heard Shaq calling himself the “Black” Stephen Curry

Big Diesel has many names – Shaquille O’Neal, being one of them. But according to him, his real name is “Black Steph Curry”, and the fans cannot get enough of it.

This parituclar fan thinks that this is the best reaction to the missed shots, and rightfully so. Just look at how naturally he fell!

The Old men behaving like kids gives everyone entertainment – wholesome and joyful. Just what is needed during Christmas time, except the Audio guy and the person who has to replace the screen – they got it bad. Don’t worry though, Shaq’s known for his benevolence!
