Shaquille O'Neal's Hilarious Wall-Running Stunt on 'Inside the NBA'
The Inside the NBA crew returned to ESPN after a festive break, and they kicked off the day with a bang, thanks to Shaquille O'Neal's hilarious and unexpected antics. The phrase 'run through a wall' is often used as a motivational phrase, but Shaq took it to a whole new level, quite literally.
During the halftime of the New York Knicks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game, Shaq engaged in a friendly race with Kenny Smith to the wall for their regular halftime segment. While this isn't the first time Smith has engaged in physical comedy, as he once sent Shaq barreling into a Christmas tree, this time, the Hall of Fame center took it to the extreme. He actually ran through the big board, creating a memorable moment that left viewers in awe.
The stunt was all for show, as a mattress was strategically placed behind the wall to ensure Shaq's safety. This clever setup added to the humor and showcased the crew's creativity. Despite the potential for chaos, the production team ensured a smooth and entertaining show, starting the day of basketball action with a bang. It was a brilliant way to kick off the Christmas Day marathon, leaving fans eager for more.
