“Third Splash Brother”: Shaquille O’Neal Aka DJ Diesel, Who’s Made Only 1 Three-Pointer in His NBA Career, Stuns Everyone With an Insane “Steph Curry” Moment

It’s a surprising stat that Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal has dropped only one shot from the deep in his entire career. The 7 ‘1 legend relied more on his aggressive gameplay and scored almost all of his points within the three point line. However, 12 years after his retirement, Shaq created a Stephen Curry moment after he dropped an unbelievable bucket in front of a rousing crowd. Following his incredible bucket from the deep, DJ Diesel took to his social media with a special caption. 

After his retirement, Shaq became a successful NBA analyst alongside his partner Charles Barkley at TNT. Apart from his media business, the big man also has various tricks up his sleeve, and one of them is Disc Jockey. The 4x NBA Champion began his disk-jockey stint to satisfy his hip-hop passion, but he has only grown into a star DJ.  

Shaquille O’Neal pulls of a Stephen Curry magic

Golden State Warriors super star Stephen Curry has a reputation for his seamless buckets from the deep. Along with Steph, another Warriors star Klay Thompson has also held expertise in the same forte. In fact, Thompson has the record for the most number of three-pointers dropped in a single game. Subsequently, the duo earned the title ‘Splash Brothers’ for their magic.

Moreover, Shaquille O’Neal recently cracked open the Splash Bros’ reputation after his unbelievable bucket in his recent DJ festival. DJ Diesel’s IG handle shared the video of the bucket with a hilarious caption. The caption read, “I told y’all I’m the black Steph Curry.” 

In response to the video, Shaq commented, “Third splash brother,” from his main IG handle leaving the fans to erupt in the comments section.
