Shaquille O’Neal remains one of the most recognizable faces of the NBAdespite the fact that it already 11 to those who withdraw. The gigantic pvot (2,16 m) left his mark as one of the most dominant players in the League (he won four championship rings) in the six teams in which I played in their 19 seasons in the League: Magic, Lakers, Heat, Suns, Cavaliers and Celtics. and also left his mark as one of the most prankster players that there ever was.

Nowadays keep unleashing that humorous vein daily as an analyst in the program ‘Inside the NBA’ de TNT, one of the reference spaces of the League. Shaquille has shown to have a heart in keeping with her body (she now walks around the 147 kilos). Able to pay for the funeral of a five-year-old girl that she was kidnapped and raped, or burial of an 11 year old boy who died in a traffic accident and whose family did not have money to pay for the funeral, or invite a homeless man to dinner that was found in a McDonalds. but also capable of unleash your boundless sense of humorsometimes even going beyond them.

It happened to him throughout his career especially with newbies with whom I coincided in their teams, whom he liked to spur with all kinds of jokes. Some were simple pranks, but there were cases in which they stopped being pranks to become jokes in very bad taste because of their eschatology. It is two of them the legendary pvot crossed the line, showing el Shaq ms ridculo that he has inside to humiliate two ‘rookies’.
So he punished a rookie for sitting in his locker
Tyronn Readformer partner of O’Neal in the Lakers and current coach of the Clippers revealed in the podcast de Knuckleheads one of those moments that he lived personally: “One day, the rookie Devean George he was supposed to bring donuts or something… I don’t know, but he didn’t. So Shaq said ‘okay, I’ll get you’ So one day we were getting ready for a game and I think Devean George came out of the locker room to do something. Then Shaq walked into the bathroom in Devean’s slipper and took a shit on it.. When the rookie came back to the locker room and put on the shoe…”

Shaq walked into the bathroom in one of Devean’s slippers and shit on it. When the rookie came back to the locker room and put on the shoe…
It was something disgusting and totally unhygienic, but Shaq didn’t care. Some of his pranks are known to be especially cruel. It was not the only time that he perpetrated such a crude maneuver. On another occasion he also went overboard in that sense, as reported by Gary Paytonwho was his companion in the Heat and in the Lakerson Vlat TV: “Shaq is a prankster, so if one of the rookies sat in his locker spot, even for a moment, I’d make a note of it and to scare him into not doing it again, I took a bucket and urinated there in the bathroom for several days. Then suddenly and without warning, when they were in his place, he would pour it out on them.”
I would take a bucket and urinate there in the bathroom for several days. Then, without warning, when some rookie was on his site, she would spill it all over him.
Sharing a locker room with Shaq, a high-risk privilege
Being a rookie and sharing a locker room with Shaquille should have been a high-risk privilege. On the one hand, they had the opportunity to live with one of the most dominant players in the history of the NBA, a legend. On the other, they must be on permanent alert before the pranks and pranks of a child in the gigantic body of an adult. And let it be known, not one of those rookies who had to suffer them rechist. Anyone dares. A whole character.
