?This Is Literally Acid?: ?Old? Shaquille O?Neal?s Bizarre ?Shaq-Thanos? Avatar Leaves NBA World Bewildered

Very rarely do you see an athlete transition from their sport to mainstream media quite easily. However, if there is one man who’s been successful in this endeavor, it’s Shaquille O’Neal. Through shrewd business decisions, an entertaining personality, and a star aura, the 7-footer has taken over the world. But as he enters his 50s, his age is starting to show. Instead of shying away from it, though, the Los Angeles Lakers legend is taking full advantage of it.

As a hilarious video of O’Neal went online, fans’ bewilderment was obvious, to say the least.

Is that Shaquille O’Neal or Marvel villain Thanos?

Shaq’s mainstream appeal sometimes supersedes his legendary NBA career. Whether it is as a sports analyst or an entertainer, he’s a bona fide household name today. Moreover, his flourishing career as DJ Diesel further enhances an already illustrious legacy.

But, the secret to his success remains simple. Remaining true to himself and making decisions that he believes in are the key ingredients of the Shaquille O’Neal brand. Of course, it helps his superstardom that?Big Diesel?is one funny man.

Whether it be on the TNT show or in various interviews/podcast appearances, the Miami Heat champion is always a riot. So, seeing a ridiculous clip of him dancing away while AI superimposed Thanos from the Marvel Universe onto him wasn’t completely unexpected. Perhaps, Joker’s “You either die a hero…”?had some truth to it.

But, it still was thoroughly crazy. Hilariously made, the animation even told a story. Shaq-Thanos is a multiversal dancer who grooves through dimensions as he snaps his fingers?to the beat. Impressive or bewildering? That was the question of the day after seeing the video.

Fans think “the two looked kinda similar”

Another was more interested in the video’s unusual color scheme and the wacky dance moves by Mr. O’Neal. “This is literally acid.”?
