NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has done it again as the Big Aristotle just gave NBA fans a close shot of his giant feet. The NBA analyst got a little too comfortable for everyone’s liking during the live telecast of TNT’s ‘Inside the NBA’. Halfway through their conversation, Shaq lifted up his feet on the table for the world to take a good look at them. The episode was broadcasted on October 2, 2022.

Evidently, this is not the first time Shaq has flaunted his feet in front of the camera. He is known to occasionally post pictures of his feet on his Instagram handle. The most recent show was in February 2022, on the same program. Fans didn’t ask for it but Shaquille O’Neal did it anyway. It is perhaps impossible to stop the Big Aristotle from doing something he wanted anyway.

The $400 million worth NBA great decided to show off his feet during a pre-game segment. When NBA analyst Adam Lefkoe pointed out the ash on his feet, Shaq corrected him and seemingly grossed everyone out by saying that it was dry skin.

Dwyane Wade, who was one of the co-hosts said, “I done seen them thangs a lot, and every time it’s shocking.”

The Los Angeles Lakers legend succeeded to gross out everyone back then and it seems he succeeded in doing so this time as well.

Shaquille O’Neal bewildered NBA fans

NBA analysts Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Shaquille O’Neal were talking about the recent game that took place on Tuesday night. The Brooklyn Nets were defeated by the Chicago Bulls by 108-99. As they continued their conversation about the game, O’Neal asked his co-hosts if he could get comfortable. When Smith said he could, Shaq immediately put up his feet on the table earning groans from his companions. Fellow analyst Ernie Johnson actually asked the camera crew to take a better shot of Shaq’s feet.

Interestingly, Shaq had applied red nail paint on his toenails. It was pretty clear that O’Neal wanted to show off his new nail color because he was enjoying all the attention his feet were getting. Chuck even went on to apologize to America on Shaq’s behalf for having to see his feet.

“C’mon man! That’s one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen in my life!” said Barkley.

Additionally, the NBA world reacted no differently than Shaq’s co-hosts. While some called it nasty, others suggested he needed a replacement foot.
