Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal has continued to be an ardent basketball fan even after his retirement. The Big Man is never off the social media and always racked up his Instagram stories with basketball content. While his stories often featured intense and hilarious stuff happening on and off court, he recently shared a mystery video of Paul George. The Los Angeles Clippers star’s video not only kept the 4x NBA Champion hooked but also left hundreds of fans confused.

In the era of social media, the short 15-second video content took the center stage. The TikTok videos and Instagram reels have been delivering short-form basketball highlights to fans. While fans enjoyed the lengthier form of basketball content on TVs and computers, now the short form videos often left the fans confused. Notably, the recent Paul George video also did the similar trick.

The mysteries are part and parcel of a basketball game and it’s not because of the advancement of computer graphics. Since the NBA is a fast-paced game, it’s hard for the TV crew to showcase different angles of a live action at the same time. So some times, games may look like a mystery. For instance, a pass from Draymond Green looked so magical that it seemed like the Dubs star teleported the ball to Klay Thompson, reported the Sun.com. Later, an alternate angle revealed the actual pass. However, in the Paul George video, the mystery is quite unsolvable.

In the PG video, the Clippers star went for a spinning slam dunk during the 2019 NBA All-Star game with #13 on his jersey. However, when he completed the dunk, the star’s jersey number turned #14. This time fans can’t even blame it on the camera angles. Moreover, Shaquille O’Neal took his 32million followers strong IG handle and shared it on his stories.
