They got Shaq again

13 years have passed since Shaquille O’Neal last stepped foot in the basketball arena but his charm shows no shine of slowing down as of yet.

After making history at the NBA court, Shaq has taken his social media accounts as a preferred destination for his fans to hang out and find clips and images of him doing his things.

While it is evident that DJ Diesel's followers are often blessed with random videos and photos on his account to groove to, this time proved a bit different from all.


O’Neal recently shared a short clip through his Instagram account where he was having an easy Tuesday. In the clip now going viral on the internet, he is seen trying his best to lip sync to Fallin' by Alicia Keys.


On one hand, where the former Lakers was showing off his best expression for the song, something else in particular grabbed the attention of his fans and followers. His eagle-eyed followers pointed at a 'booger'.

As Shaq went on full swing while singing the song without his voice, a fan noticed a booger peeping out of his left nostril. The fan did not stop there and took to the comments section to point it out. The fan wrote, “Hey, you got a bat in the cave!”
