Shaq Fall Shakes the NBA World
If you felt tremors in the early hours of this morning, it wasn't just a bad dream.
Last night, while lending his analytical expertise to TNT's 'Inside the NBA,' legendary former Lakers and Heat center Shaquille O'Neal took one of the all-time great television set hoppers, to the guffaws of his co-analysts and NBA fans worldwide.
7'1 and 325lbs. Down he goes.
O'Neal might be of the age where he could be considered to have 'had a fall,' but the 15-time NBA All-Star took to Twitter and dusted himself down in true Shaq style:

There's gotta be a Lionel Messi-Jerome Boateng one in there somewhere.
Meanwhile, broadcasters TNT were quick to show concern for their larger than life analyst:
