Shaquille O’Neal had a busy day recently. He rushed to the TNT studios as the ‘Inside the NBA’ crew had an important task. The task was to announce the All-Star reserves while weighing in with their opinions on the selections. Following this, host Ernie Johnson, Shaq, and his co-analysts discussed each game of the day while giving fans a fit of laughter with their usual shenanigans in the studio. With that said, before the show, the four-time NBA champion gave fans a good laugh via a post on Instagram.

Shaq dabbled in a little transition reel earlier in the day as he got ready for the show. In the video, the Big Aristotle walked out of the room while flaunting a pair of boxers and a white colored formal shirt. He held the rest of his attire (his shoes, pants, and blazer) in his hands. While lip-syncing to the remix version of ‘Regulate’, Shaq jumped up as the video switched to him entirely dressed. The reel switched up with a rotation transition as Shaq donned a pair of shades. He walked toward the camera with a tinge of swag and a smile from ear to ear.
