NBA legend and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal is certainly bad at shooting, notably free throws and three-pointers. However, at times, whenever the Big Diesel drains a three-pointer or perfectly makes a shot, he likes to call himself ‘Black Stephen Curry‘, as Curry is probably the greatest shooter of all time. Recently, the four-time champion again called himself ‘Black Stephen Curry’ after attempting to put a water bottle inside a garbage can. This, in turn, left the fans baffled and prompted them to reflect on the affair on social media.

Shaquille O’Neal called himself ‘Black Stephen Curry’ after attempting to put a water bottle inside a garbage can

There is no doubt that Shaq is a social media junkie. The Big Diesel shares a plethora of posts and they are about anything. Lately, he shared a clip of him throwing a bottle of water in the garbage can after drinking from it. However, the 15x All-Star actually failed to put the bottle in the can as it hit a wall and ultimately dropped on the ground.

The distance between him and the can was not so much but the four-time champion still missed it which certainly made him a bit embarrassed.  Even a person sitting beside him initially looked embarrassed but ultimately burst out laughing.
