Big Diesel doesn’t usually come out to play, but when he does, boy is it memorable. One of the biggest and most powerful players in NBA history, the sight of Shaquille O’Neal barreling down on you must surely be a scary experience, despite his jovial personality.

As he shows his friendship through rough physical contact, Shaq seems to have been happy when he was playing with Udonis Haslem.

Recently in The Big Podcast with Shaq, Mario Chalmers recalled the story when Shaq chased his ex-teammate buck-naked. Shaq also posted about it on his social media account, over which Udonis Haslem commented.

When Shaquille O’Neal turned up naked for training in the early 2000s, it just added insult to injury for Phil Jackson, who already had a tough time dealing with egotistical, famous players on the Lakers.

Derek Fisher and Rick Fox, two of Shaquille O’Neal’s teammates, corroborated the incident, with Fox stating that O’Neal did far more than was necessary. “He would start running around looking for guys to hug. That’s why, when I hit that shot in San Antonio, we were so good at sprinting off the court,” said Derek Fisher

Udonis Haslem had a good time remembering Shaq’s nude antics in the locker room including his inability to flush the toilet during his brief stint in Miami, among other similar incidents.
