Shaquille O’Neal’s greatness and dominance are etched forever in the NBA history books. His tremendous humor, on the other hand, never fails to put a smile on the faces of NBA fans. On camera, he and his colleagues on “NBA on TNT” always appear to be having a great time. When the NBA on TNT film crew shot Shaquille O’Neal and Reggie Miller in the gym, we were presented with another example of these great times.

The workout, however, devolved into tomfoolery at some point. Given Shaq’s presence, however, one would have predicted this to transpire. Miller, on the other hand, wanted to test if Shaq was still the dominant force he was during his heydays with the LA Lakers. Shaq picked up the 6’7″ and 195lb Miller and curled him effortlessly at the conclusion of the session, like a lightweight dumbbell. The video was both amusing and heartwarming, and it quickly went viral.

?Raise, must be the curl, you see that? See that (Stan) Van Gundy? I?m in the gym, Van Gundy?” O’Neal said.

Four reps of one of the best shooting guards of all time and you can call it a day.

Shaquille O’Neal made it look easy

The iconic Indiana Pacers guard weighed 185 pounds during his NBA days. It’s correct to conclude he’s gained weight since hanging his jersey in 2005. Notwithstanding his added weight, O’Neal curled him four times while taking aim at Van Gundy.

One NBA fan compared the hilarious video to a clip from the?new She-Hulk trailer, and both genuinely looked similar.

Reggie pleaded with Shaq not to drop him before trying what may be a dangerous act. His concerns, however, were unnecessary, as Shaquille O’Neal hoisted him effortlessly.

Shaq curled Miller with ease. However, more impressive than O’Neal’s remarkable power, which was expected given his stature, was his chiseled physique. Perhaps Shaq is attempting to honor his commitment and get into peak shape.

Shaq is among the most dominant forces in NBA history. Shattering backboards, swatting shots, and frequently punishing opponents who challenged him was something he did on a nightly basis. However, Shaq would confess that fitness may not have been a priority for him, specifically as his career declined.

But that’s no longer an issue, as Shaquille O’Neal seems ripped for a 50-year-old. It was quite remarkable how he managed to curl Miller, who weighs roughly around 200 pounds.
