Shaq nearly falls from ‘Inside the NBA’ balcony while ‘fishing’

Shaq is either a very bad fisherman or a very good fisherman. Were he not an actor, he would likely be a very wet fisherman.

When a team loses its playoff series on TNT, the Inside the NBA crew memorializes the squad with a hilarious running bit called Gone Fishin'. This has evolved over the years and now involves a plethora of fishing gear in addition to highly pomo Photoshops. Typically, this exercise is done within the safety of TNT's Atlanta studio. But Inside the NBA is on the road for the playoffs, so the crew went fishing for the Pacers from a balcony area at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

And yep, as the video above shows, Shaq went overboard. Thank goodness the producers were there to save him; no railing can hold a flailing Shaq. (Especially a post-retirement Shaq.) On Monday we lost the TNT crew for the season; we may have almost lost Shaq forever.
