"I thought he didn't see me recording until I watched this video"
A man apparently decided to break the rules and secretly record his interaction with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal after officials barred photography.
The man said he didn’t realize Shaq had caught him until he watched this video.

It’s unclear where the video was recorded, but it quickly went viral after it was posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
We second SB Nation writer Whitney Medworth’s assessment of the incident: “I hope this video is real and not staged because if so … Shaq is a national treasure.”
