NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal took a massive spill the other day on TNT’s Inside the NBA, tripping on some cables and landing face down (and then face up) on the floor in the studio, and losing a shoe on the way down. However, he’s willing to pay money for people to make fun of him.
Not that they wouldn’t do it for free.
Shaq is no stranger to falls of this type, as you will see for yourself in the bonus videos below. Seeing how experienced he is at this, it makes sense to have grown accustomed to people making fun of him, so why not give something in return.
Shortly after the taping, Shaq posted video of his fall on social media and announced he’d be paying money to whoever came up with the most hilarious meme. Naturally, people rushed to try their luck, and you can see some samples of their work below, under the videos.
He already has a favorite in the race, but it’s not a meme: it’s a bit with Kevin Hart, in which he pokes fun at his hilarious way of falling. That means that the competition is still open, so get to work in Photoshop and submit your photos with the hashtag #downgoesshaq or #shaqtinafall.
I almost broke my dam leg lol #downgoesshaq #shaqtinafall
