NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has done some funny and ridiculous stuff in the past, but his appearance on the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week may be the wildest yet.
Shaq got stuck in a cage with a shark during ‘Shark Week’
A shark reminded Shaq that it’s definitely not called Shaq Week.
Shaq decided he wanted to conquer his fear of sharks by getting an up close look with the predators of the sea. In the television special “Shaq Does Shark Week,” the 15-time All-Star goes inside custom-built underwater cage surrounded by sharks.
Comedian Rob Riggle decided to prank Shaq by shooting a chum gun in the water and attracting more sharks, and one eventually squeezed inside the cage with Shaq.
Shaq, looking nervous as hell, was avoiding the shark, while a crew member came to the rescue. The full episode is on the Discovery Channel.
It’s shocking how the shark forced its way inside the cage with Shaq. Even though the cage was a little bigger compared to most, it’s still scary to see the shark squeeze in like that. I guess the shark was looking for more than an autograph. Luckily, Shaq was able to make it out alive.
That’s probably the fastest Shaq has ever moved, which might give Charles Barkley some ammunition the next time he and Shaq get into a heated argument about championships on NBA on TNT.
