This is Shaq Walking Around in His Underwear on TV

Jan. 29, 2012 11:12am Madeleine Morgenstern

This is Shaq Walking Around in His Underwear on TV Why exactly was Shaquille O’Neal parading around a television studio this week in his boxer briefs?

It seems he lost a bet.

Shaq, a commentator on TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” made the gamble with fellow announcer Charles Barkley. Yahoo! Sports explains:

Last week, Shaq and Chuck got to talking about the top power forwards in the NBA; the former repped Blake Griffin, while the latter sang the praises of Kevin Love. The discussion got mildly contentious, and eventually Shaq proposed a bet that the supporter of whichever player did worse during their game last Friday would have to go pantsless on the “Inside the NBA” set. Presumably at an hour when children would be asleep.

The stats were roughly equal — Love went for 17 points and 14 rebounds, Griffin went for 21 and 10 — but Love’s game-winning three at the buzzer tipped the scales. So, on Thursday’s “Inside the NBA,” Shaq put on a show. Thankfully, he kept this shirt and jacket.

It wasn’t an entirely smooth operation: As Shaq rose from his chair, part of his coattail appeared to be stuck in his waistband. Still, the point was made.

“See you next week America. I’m a man of my word,” he said.

For those of you implying that Shaq is a thug or not very intelligent there is something I feel I must point out.

#1 – Shaq went to the NBA after completing his junior year at LSU. He then returned to LSU during the next 2 off-seasons and finished his undergraduate degree. Why? Because he promised his mom that he would.
#2 – Shaq is one semester away from being Dr. O’Neil. Not some BS honorary degree. But a real PhD in Human Resource Management from (I believe) University of Miami. I may be wrong about the exact university but it’s a real PhD from a real university. He is working on his dissertation right now.

I’m no fan of the NBA but before you start calling Shaq a thug or not very bright you should get your facts straight.

Does anyone really expect this neanderthall to act like he has any sense? He is big enough to cram a ball in a hoop, if not for that noone would know his name. Strong as an ox, and almost as intelligent.

  KIBA – see my comments above… looking for a neanderthal? Start with a mirror.

  Some of you people need to chill out have a drink or something. It was a good natured bet that harmed no one. Would I have done it, probably not, but then again I’m not in a position to have that option. this is non news!!!

That clip was more than just the TV show, as it included a walk on the beach. Sort of a package deal.
