How can you not love Shaquille O’Neal?
The basketball legend has no problem calling it how he sees it, and an exact moment like this took place Thursday night on “Inside The NBA” when he screamed “f*ck it!” in a hilarious crash out.

Things popped off near the end of “Inside The NBA” on TNT following a game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves, which saw the latter win, 116-101. The guys were holding their “Race to the board” segment and Shaq and Charles Barkley decided to troll Kenny Smith by not competing when he started.

“In the words of Marshawn Lynch, ‘I’m tired as shit, America,’” said Shaq. “We are getting fired anyway, Ernie. F*ck it.”

If you’re the NBA, you have to be happy about this. This is a great way to start off All-Star Weekend because you know a moment like this is going to go viral. After all, I’m writing about it right now.
It just gives the weekend a little more spice, a little more hype. Honestly, I didn’t even know All-Star Weekend was this particular weekend, but now I’m interested to tune in to a degree.
See, viral moments work.
