Young Shaq Shatters The Backboard 🤯

To celebrate Shaquille O’Neal’s birthday, take a look at him breaking a backboard while on an Inside Stuff shoot!

“Give me ya best”

He did give it his best indeed.

Coach: Shaq, we need a timeout.
Shaq: Aight, bet.

Shaq has a compilation of these and said he could smash backboards anytime he wanted. Imagine having to tone down your strength so the mortals could finish playing their ball game? 😭😂

Shaq was incredibly athletic for his size in his Orlando days. If he had kept himself in that kind of shape for his entire career he would own almost every worthwhile record and have a few more NBA titles

[andrewokamoto]

This could have been much worse! The glass that's still left hanging on the backboard could've easily fell and cut open Shaq. I'm pretty sure Shaq revolutionized basketball backboard technology.

The best part was when they made the scene where Ahmad walks up to Shaq afterwards and says, "that all you got?"

Even without it, though, this is still a legendary moment in Inside Stuff history!

[arikejoja]

The fact that he's smiling on the floor after the dunk 😂😂

[kcuba]

How he managed to brace that fall without getting hurt is just as impressive as him breaking the entire rim lol

[qpwoeiruty]

Notice how he landed so smoothly. Man I wish I was that chill and confident

[schnozz]

"You alright?"
"Yeah, why?"

Shaq is the funniest dude ever 😂

[SKO.]

Happy Birthday Shaq, still one of the best to ever do it. This fall, in combination with the glass could’ve been real nasty, glad it wasn’t 😂

[XscarredAnime]

I love how the camera guy just ran up to him and recorded his reaction 😂😂

[bryanbroacosta]

“Lemme see your best”

*DUNKS SO HARD THE BOARD BREAKS*

[Leukick]

Seeing old videos like this gives me unexplainable pleasant vibes, and just reminds me of how good times were back then. Hard to explain it

[geldofpunk]

He's lucky he didn't get really hurt on that one. Absolute beast

[snoozy_wee]

Shaq is a legend. Once in a generation athlete

[sameerkanade]

It was quite lucky that he didn't injure himself badly. Could have easily suffered a neck injury and it would have been a great shame for the game of basketball.

[tristancampbell]

He could've been blinded that day
Thank the lord he wasn't😂

[hankhill]

NBA Inside Stuff was the best show ever back in the day

[jaykob]

Inside Stuff is probably the best basketball TV show in history. I remember waking up every Saturday morning to watch it. Damn, those were the days.
