In reply, Serena said, “Okay, cuz I didn’t see it.“
Then the former NBA player said, “What do mean you didn’t see it? I just hit it over that thing twice.“
However, Serena trolled O’Neal, as she said, “Anyone can do that. Just keep the grunt and surprise them with the attack.“
As seen in the video, Serena was moving O’Neal from one side to another, as the former basketball player was having a hard time. One time, Serena even played a drop shot, and the former Lakers star could not reach that ball.
In the end, Serena gave some easy balls for O’Neal to smash. As a result, the former NBA player absolutely destroyed those balls, as he talked about feeling good after hitting those balls.
