Veronika Rajek knows how to ace the social media game. In super quick time, the Slovakian model has been able to exponentially grow her following on Instagram. While her enchanting posts have surely played a part in it, one just can’t deny the impact of the Brady-dating rumors in skyrocketing her popularity.

However, since Tom retired a few weeks ago, Rajek’s social media growth graph has become a tad bit stagnant. So probably in order to keep herself a hot entity in the US market, Veronika is now focusing her attention on NBA as well which has to be called a very smart move. A few days ago, she was seen having a gala time when NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and just a few hours ago, she again mentioned Shaq in one of her Instagram stories while watching a live basketball game.

Rajek, in super sizzling denim shorts and shiny plunge-neck top, absolutely stole the show during the recent Knicks vs Heat game. She posted a series of visuals of herself having an absolute blast in the American Airlines Arena. The Slovakian beauty, who was seen sitting courtside during the game, couldn’t resist herself from stretching her long legs in one of the videos which reminded her of the famous Larry David-Shaquille O’Neal moment.

She even captioned the video, “Larry David moment,” to let her fans know exactly what she was trying to do in the video. For the unversed, back in 2001, while filming a skit for Larry David’s show “Curb You Enthusiasm,” inside the arena, Shaq was tripped on purpose by the renowned comedian.

The episode which had the popular skit then showcased that due to Larry’s mistake, Shaq had badly injures his leg which sidelines him for two long months. Thankfully, the plot of the show had nothing to do with reality. However, Shaq’s acting skills were widely appreciated after the episode aired as he made everything look absolutely genuine. The way he winced in pain upon falling, fans almost got a mini heart.

Shaquille O’Neal had no problems with the ‘tripping’ skit

In an interaction with Cheatsheet.com, Shaq had talked in detail about his experience while filming the said episode of ‘Curb You Enthusiasm.’ O’Neal had stated that he was itching to show his prowess as a stuntman and had asked Larry to just put his foot out as he’ll be taking care of the rest.

“I always wanted to be a stuntman when I was little so I know how to fall. But when I got there I was nervous. Because these people are the real deal on TV. I don’t wanna be the one that comes in and messes it up,” the NBA star had said. He had also gone on to admit that he was left baffled when no-one gave him any sort of script during the filming of the episode.

Eventually, Shaq was asked to just be himself during the show and the world knows how incredible the final product turned out to be.
