Shaquille O’Neal mispronounced the track legend’s name
The video is from a 2009 practice session with the team. As players run up the court one at a time, Shaquille was telling his teammate to have a look at his form. He said, “check out the form as I run up the court. My form like Osain Bolten.” Well, no doubt he was quick on the court, but as far as his reference is concerned, he completely mispronounced the name of track legend, Usain Bolt.
Though only the NBA legend can tell whether it was an ignorant mistake or he did it on purpose. As he came back after the run, he once again said, “You see that form I am like Osain Bolten.”
