Shaquille O’Neal is a highly regarded superstar in the NBA community. During his career as a player, the big man embodied pure destruction. If the ball was in his hands down in the low post, it was almost certain that the play would finish with a powerful dunk. The best part was that Shaq did this with ease. His scoring ability gave him an edge over the opposition. This made him a four-time NBA champion.

Clearly, it is evident that Shaq was a fierce competitor in the NBA. In fact, he struck fear in the eyes of the opposition. However, there has always been a funny side to the ‘Big Aristotle.’ One such incident was revealed by Shaq’s former teammate, Jason Williams.

“In ’06, the year we won it in Miami, ‘Zo’ always kept some clippers up in his locker to shave his face. Shaq decided to take ‘Zo’s clippers and go in the bathroom and not shave his face, and you know shave something else,” said Williams.

Thereafter, when the trainer arrived to practice, he noticed the hair on the bathroom sink. However, Shaq swiftly put the blame on his teammates for the mess.

“I don’t know. You better ask one of them white boys,” Williams added, quoting Shaq.

Clearly, this is yet another funny incident involving Shaq. Despite it being disgusting, it put the other members in the interview in a state of laughter.
