Shaquille O’Neal is a straight-up comedian. Yes more than an NBA legend, we reckon he will be remembered for all his goofy antics. Nobody would have imagined the Lakers legend who was a tour de force in the paint to be a seasoned entertainer.

A 7-footer becoming one of the most entertaining people in media is not what we envisioned. And yet, here we are. Shaq is a regular on TNT.
Here he bides his time predicting outcomes and giving analyses that are laced with insults, mostly around his co-stars. But he pulls off something fun every now and then. Just recently he got a hair cut and it left a certain media personality fuming.
Stephen A Smith’s rant is hilarious and bitter at the same time!
Stephen A Smith clearly did not like Shaquille O’Neal or his new hairstyle. Or umm, hairline? Should we say? And he made it explicitly clear in this video.

Stephen A was not having it. To make things worse the TNT crew gave O’Neal a new nickname, “Stephen A. Shaq”.
Oh to kick a man when he is down is not good. But when Shaquille O’Neal is involved you have to expect something like this. And the antics on TNT are just non-stop.

Shaquille O’Neal is a master of goofy comedy
The whole premise of NBA on TNT often does not feel like a sports show. They have managed to sandwich a show about sports analysis in between bits of comedy.
Just take a look at some of the things Shaq did on the show.

He is a master of goofy comedy. There is no one that can do better. At least, not an NBA legend. All of this was just from one day. So keep a lookout for NBA on TNT for gags that will keep you going for the night.
