After playing for 19 glorious years in the league, Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal took his talents to NBA on TNT as a basketball veteran. The Big Aristotle now works alongside several well-accomplished basketball stars, like Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Dwyane Wade, and Candace Parker. While their interactions and analyses are always entertaining to watch, their behind-the-scenes videos are even more hilarious. In fact, Shaq’s recent video with Parker proves exactly that, much to the delight of fans.

Shaquille O’Neal has time and again given fans a sneak peek at all the backstage fun that he has while pranking his fellow analysts. Be it appearing shirtless behind Charles Barkley or doing a TikTok video with the employees working behind the camera, Shaq Diesel has done it all. However, it seems like this time it was his turn to be pranked instead.

In a video uploaded by Shaquille O’Neal on his Instagram handle, fans witnessed Las Vegas Aces star Candace Parker eagerly waiting to jump-scare Shaq.

However, the 2x WNBA champion was not done scaring Shaq just one time. In the next video, she hides behind a door in what seemed like a green room and waits for Shaq to enter.
