Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson go way back. While they never played on the same team, they did play against each other multiple times. However, now the legends have come together as President and Vice President at Reebok. The two have had a long run with the shoe giant and now bring their ideas to their sneaker designs. Joe La Puma of Complex caught the two to take them sneaker shopping where they also got some young fans their favorites. However, at the end of the day, Shaq remembered he didn’t bring his wallet along. Suspicious much?
Apparently, the two NBA legends went to Indianapolis for some shoe shopping. Shaq and AI also gifted sneakers to four youngsters. But the 4x NBA champion found himself in a stinky situation. After a good time helping the kids find their picks, Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson went to the reception to get their checks. When the guy said the total came up to $11,663, Shaq patted his chest as if to find cash in his upper pockets.

His theatrics to make viewers laugh continued as he asked the little ones, “You guys got some money?” When he got a negative response, he asked the Philadelphia 76ers superstar, “Hey AI, hook me up, Vice President.”
It was funny watching Shaq trying to come up with an excuse as Allen handed over his card to the cashier. In his vain attempt, Shaq said, “I left the wallet at the…my bad.” He clearly gave up before even beginning. He then added, “I’m going to pay you back AI.” All Iverson could do was say, “I know.”
Shaquille O’Neal never seems to strip off a comedic turn to any situation, no matter what it is. Asking the kids for $11,663 was surely one of the most hilarious things he has done to youngsters. Further, asking Reebok’s VP to get the check was also funny as Shaq’s net worth today is $400 million.
