The NBA has been tremendously successful in eliminating COVID-19 from entering the bubble environment. However, certain players might not feel too happy about the monotonous routine they’re following inside it. If Shaquille O’Neal was inside the current Orlando Bubble, how would the Big Diesel plot his escape? 

Thankfully, we’ve not witnessed any player attempting to sneak out of the bubble. While there have been other complaints, none have come out in this regard. But, once can be sure that a few players are extremely tired of the bubble routine.

But watching the players compete from within an environment like this puts one’s imagination to the test. A little speculation hurts no one, right? So, how well would the players from the previous era fit inside the bubble?

Kevin Garnett has already given his take on it. “Man they’d of had a bunch of censors. Couldn’t have all these cameras, you know…That’s a different league. We were men, yo,” KG said on a recent episode of Complex’s Load Management podcast.

But what about Shaquille O’Neal?

Shaquille O’Neal reveals how he would escape the bubble 

Well, Shaq is always the go-to man for hypothetical situations. The Big Diesel captivates everyone with his imagination, and he never fails to do so. O’Neal recently connected with Jimmy Kimmel over a video call, where they spoke a lot of things related to the NBA.

During a conversation about the bubble and its strict regulations, Jimmy threw in a question at the Lakers legend. Would Shaquille O’Neal find a way to pop the rules? Of course he would! He’s how Shaq plotted his getaway:

“Oh, am I a single man? What I would have done was uh I would have spread some of the cash around to the maids not to be with the maid but to retrieve a uniform.

“Now when I retrieve the uniform, I will go out late at night and look for Disney fencing that had some loopholes. I’ll take my pliers and I would cut it and leave a little opening and I will leave the maid dress on the side.”

While this might look like it’s right out of a movie scene, this is what he said! This would have been Shaq’s master plan had he been confined in the bubble. Do you think it would’ve worked?
