The four-time NBA champion, Shaquille O'Neal was spotted riding a scooter in Bahamas and his fellow Inside the NBA hosts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith refused to believe the event that took place few days ago. However, Ernie Johnson came up with an innovative scheme to test the 365lb Shaq's riding skills on The EJ’s Neat-o Stat of the Night.
A video of Shaquille O'Neal surfaced on social media, where the 7-foot-1 giant was spotted riding a scooter in Bahamas and his co-hosts Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith burst into laughter as Ernie Johnson narrates the hilarious incident. While Shaq responded, " First of all, that’s not a scooter, it’s Harley-Davidson. Don’t ever disrespect my machine like that."
After Chuck and Smith's denial over Shaq riding a scooter, Johnson challenged the former Lakers center to ride different sized bicycles in descending order. EJ displayed five bicycles including a tricycle and unicycle. Johnson also provided a NCAA football franchise, Georgia Bulldogs' helmet to Shaq before he began the challenge, however, the Diesel rode the cycles without wearing a helmet.
After riding the adult-sized bicycle comfortably, Shaq rode an average-sized tricycle and skipped the third, which was same as the previous one. Shaq was never seen struggling in his 19-year-long NBA career the way he struggled riding the smaller-sized tricycle.
Watch the video here:
Kenny offered help to Shaq during his attempt to ride the unicycle while the latter refused to take any help. Meanwhile, Charles Barkley was heard saying, "I don't want to laugh at you on TV while you're in pain." Ultimately, the 50-year-old tried to ride the unicycle but failed to maintain his balance and took back his seat.
In the end, Charles Barkley also tried to ride the tricycle but failed to take his foot off the ground and returned to his chair as the show got wrapped up.
