“Put his mouth piece in tights underneath his…” Shaquille O’Neal once pulled the WILDEST prank on Phoenix Suns teammate 

Shaquille O’Neal was a great player with a funny personality, and on Paul Grorge’s “Podcast P,” Matt Barnes shared one moment where Big Shaq pulled a nasty prank on teammate Lou Amundson. At the time, Barnes was a teammate of Shaq, so he was privy to first-hand information. 

As narrated by Barnes, the prank involved Shaquille O’Neal taking Amundson’s mouthguard and putting it in his groin while they were having shooting practice. He then returned it to his locker, and without knowing, Amundson wore the same mouthguard. 

They had a back and forth thing, and one time bro…Shaq put Lou’s mouthpiece in his tights and put it up underneath his nuts…Before the game, coaches were talking, and Lou would always get up, put his mouthpiece in, jump around, and stretch because he's an energy dude. He put that s**t in his mouth, and everyone died.

Matt Barnes said

It wasn’t the first time Amundson had fallen for Shaq’s antics as the legendary center had urinated on Amundson’s shoes as well, as narrated by ESPN’s Amin Elhassan. However, according to Elhassan, Amundson got the better of Shaq when he successfully filled the big man’s car with styrofoam. 

All this happened in the latter years of his career after establishing himself as one of the league’s most dangerous centers. On the other hand, Amundson would have a successful ten-year tenure in the NBA, where he mainly featured for the Phoenix Suns. 

Shaquille O’Neal shares his brief presence on the Tinder app

Shaquille O’Neal said he joined the dating platform Tinder, but to his shock, he got rejected, and as a result, he had to delete the account. He narrated this sad story while making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. 

According to the Hall of Famer, he shared why the dating platform didn’t favor him as a woman he met there refused to believe it was him texting her. 

I signed up for Tinder, put in my name, and I tried to make a person meet me. And they didn't believe it was me. I was like, 'It's me; it's Shaq.' No, you're not! And she said, 'Shaq would never be on this.' So I had to hit delete. I had to delete my account.

Shaquille O’Neal revealed

Shaq has had his fair share of troubles with women and once revealed his mistakes with his ex-wife Shaunie. However, he has been single since, and despite his unsuccessful attempts at dating sites, he still has his famous name to help him when needed.
