Say what you want about his moves, but Big Diesel has a standard for dance. So when Shaquille O’Neal came across a questionable freestyle performance, he had to express his thoughts on it. Fortunately, he found more than a few echoing his confusion among his 32 million Instagram followers.

Apart from rap extraordinaire, DaBaby, a certain MCU veteran couldn’t resist chiming in. Like his superhero character, his nifty basketball reference was also spot-on.

Shaquille O’Neal displays bizarre performance

But not his own. Shaq’s never out of step. He’s like one of us, scrolling through his social media feed, looking at dance videos to keep his moves fresh, and he came across a certain dance clip. This aggressive body-slamming performance by a woman has gone viral on social media and has now come to Shaq’s attention. He had to share this video with a very poignant question for his Instagram followers.

“and what new dance is this called?” he asked his fans. As if that’s not enough, he’s edited the video to include his own reaction to the dance. Shaquille O’Neal has been rendered speechless but he remains expressive. He displayed six versions of varying degrees of shock, confusion, and cringe at once before shaking his head. He wasn’t the only one with questions.

“She gone be sore as hell in the morning,” DaBaby summarized the lady’s ‘hard-hitting’ (pun intended) antics. The emcee turned up the virtual celebrations at Shaq’s 2020 Super Bowl weekend in Miami. So forgive him for having standards.

But the comment of the year came from Hawkeye aka Jeremy Renner. The Hollywood star invoked Michael Jordan and typed out the most mic-drop response to Shaq’s question. “The Last Dance?”

Mr Renner is on the mend after a terrible snow-plow accident. Not long ago, he was collecting his jaw off the floor seeing Big Aristotle’s new physique. He’s ready to bounce back with the music he composed during his recovery. We know who he won’t be calling to dance at his next show and many would agree.

Fans respond to Shaq’s query

DaBaby didn’t respond to Shaq’s valid question the way Renner did. But his other followers came through in the comments in the most hilarious way. “Looks like mortal combat Round 1 fight !” is the most accurate description, followed by, “The “Mommy look what I can do” in my Stuart voice from Mad Tv.” 

O’Neal dealt with his fair share of injuries both during and after his NBA career. So he probably felt this one comment that read, “My insurance policy ain’t strong enough for this dance.” 

“She ain’t dancin, she’s wrestling someone who ain’t there,” commented standup veteran Chris Porter. It’s a good thing that AEW and WWE regular, Shaq is a wrestling fanatic.
