Shaq offer $500 for the best meme of him falling

Shaquille O’Neal shook the set of TNT and Twitter when he fell during halftime of the Rockets vs. Clippers game.

Shaquille O’Neal is a gigantic human being. Standing at over seven feet tall and weighing a monstrous 325 pounds it’s no wonder he makes the news whenever he takes a tumble.

Shaq’s latest adventure in rapid descent occurred during the halftime of a Rockets vs. Clippers game. Shaq got up to step away from the analyst desk but as he stepped down, he got his foot caught in some wires and fell to the ground. Shaq’s shoe was left at the desk after the tumble and the four time NBA Champion took it all in stride and laughed it off.

Shaq took the fall so well in fact that he took to Twitter and told fans that whoever could make the best meme of his fall would win $500 cash.

Whoever makes me the best meme of me bustin my ass (like this one) wins $500 cash. Go. #shaqtinafall pic.twitter.com/3skU2UUUWj

It is always great to see a celebrity not take himself too seriously and turn an embarrassing moment into a hilarious one for everyone involved. Now all Shaq has to do is pick his favorite meme and send out $500 to some lucky Twitter user. But really we are all winners for simply being able to share in this earth-shaking event.
