Shaq went pantsless on TV because he lost a Dwight Howard bet

On Thursday’s edition of NBA on TNT, Shaq made a bet that Dwight Howard would get 18 points and seven rebounds during Rockets-Bulls, and if he didn’t, he’d have to do the show’s final segment in his underwear. Howard ended the night with 13 boards (yay!) and seven points (whoops), which led to this confrontation with hosts Casey Stern and Isiah Thomas.

Much to the chagrin of their late night viewers, Shaq made good on his bet, and he limped his way toward the set, like a man filled with regret:

When @imisiahthomas shows you why he was the leader of the Bad Boys...

And now you know what Shaq looks like with no pants on: like a shepherd of bad decisions.
