Shaq might have pooped himself on live TV

Big Diesel has BIG toilet problems.

If you weren’t watching Inside the NBA at almost 1 am ET we don’t blame you, but you missed something absolutely incredible. In the middle of a segment Shaq quick-walked off the stage and to the bathroom in a stance very reminiscent of a person who crapped their pants.

Kenny and Chuck said that Shaq had been drinking a lot of olive oil to “clean out his gut,” which might have had an unintended result. I mean, it definitely cleaned him out — but perhaps not in a controlled way. Ernie made the point we were all thinking:

“I did not like his gait right there. That was not a typical walk.”

Shaq eventually returned to the desk gingerly, and blamed Chuck for talking too slowly and not finishing his point when they were set to go to break. Therefore we know that Shaq was holding his oil poop for as long as possible, until he couldn’t anymore. Then he trotted awkwardly off the stage.

Yeah, Shaq definitely pooped a little bit.
