It sure seems like Shaq nearly pooped himself live on Inside the NBA
There are very few things that Shaq has in common with most people. He's a Hall of Fame NBA player and one of the best centers ever to play the game. He's 7 feet tall and can probably still dunk on you if he tried hard enough. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars while living in the spotlight, between his illustrious NBA career and his current role on TNT as an Inside the NBA co-host.
INSIDE THE NBA IS TOO FUNNY: The show ended its final regular season on TNT like an episode of The Sopranos.
Most of us can't relate to any of that. But one thing that I'm most certain of is that we've all been in this spot before at least once.
That's Shaq scurrying off the set in the middle of the show on live television. Why? Because, well, it seems like he has to poop. Badly.
"That's that olive oil you've been drinking," Kenny Smith said to his co-host as he rushed to the restroom. "I know," Shaq said in reply.
The athletes, man. They're just like us. We've all eaten the wrong thing in the wrong place and had to go at the wrong time because of it. That's Shaq here.
The guy who once scored 43 points and 19 rebounds to open up the NBA Finals is the same guy scurrying in slow motion to the bathroom like he's in an action scene in a Michael Bay movie because he's got to go that bad. Speaking of Michael Bay movies, the explosions in that bathroom were probably diabolical.
Light a candle in there. Spray some Lysol. Hit the toilet with that Poo-Pourri. Nobody should use that bathroom for a couple of days.
I really can't believe we almost lost this show. What a treasure.

Dick Vitale Predicts Winner of Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals
Dick Vitale Predicts Winner of Pacers-Thunder NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Anticipation is high as the NBA Finals tip off Thursday night, with the Indiana Pacers set to face the league-best Oklahoma City Thunder, who finished the regular season with an impressive 68–14 record. Advertisement While the Thunder have continued their dominant run through the playoffs, the Pacers—who entered as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference—have carved out a Cinderella story of their own. They've notched multiple comeback wins and dispatched all three of their postseason opponents in six games or fewer. On Wednesday, ESPN released its full slate of Finals predictions, with 29 of 32 personalities picking the Thunder to win it all. Notably absent from the list was legendary commentator Dick Vitale, but he still shared his take on social media—revealing who he believes will capture their first NBA title between the Thunder and Pacers. "My VBDI says @okcthunder will win the 2025 @NBA championship in 6 games over @Pacers," Vitale posted. While Vitale is beloved by fans, not everyone shared his outlook on the series. Some supporters believe Indiana could continue its run and pull off a stunning upset. Advertisement "I'm gonna go veteran coaching that wins this than the players. Go PACERS," a fan said. "Sorry DickieV! Pacers in 6," another fan posted. Someone else added, "Awesome I don't even need to watch." One more fan commented, "Interesting prediction... Thunder in 6 could be a solid call." ESPN analyst Dick Vitale© Randy Sartin-Imagn Images The odds are certainly stacked against Indiana, who are led by All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton and veteran forward Pascal Siakam. According to ESPN BET, the Thunder enter the series as heavy favorites at minus-700, backed by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a deep, balanced roster. Adding to the challenge for the Pacers, the Thunder won both regular-season matchups between the teams—both high-scoring affairs with each team eclipsing the 100-point mark.

Caitlin Clark News Surfaces on Monday Amid Injury
Caitlin Clark News Surfaces on Monday Amid Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has missed the last four games with a left quadriceps strain that she suffered May 24 against the New York Liberty. Despite that, she's averaging 19.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game this WNBA season. Advertisement She was originally given a timetable of at least two weeks before being reevaluated. As the two-week mark approached, Clark admitted there was no point in rushing back, as getting to 100% health was of the utmost importance. 'I'm not going to rush coming back,' Clark said. 'It's just not worth it. But after this weekend, I'll be reevaluated and we'll have a better idea.' Meanwhile, the weekend has since passed, and the Fever have gone 2-2 without her, sitting at 4-4 on the season. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark reacts to a call in the second half against the Washington Faith Morgan-Imagn Images The team held practice on Monday before traveling to Atlanta to face the Dream on Tuesday. Afterward, head coach Stephanie White spoke to the media and announced that Clark won't play for the fifth straight game. Advertisement "Not for tomorrow, no," White said when she asked if Clark would be in the lineup against the Dream. "I think for us, we got to work both her and Sophie (Cunningham) back. Are they in basketball condition? What does it mean to go live? It's one thing to do some shooting drills. It's another thing to get out there on the floor. " While this isn't the update Fever fans wanted to hear, things are heading in the right direction as Clark is ready to start "ramping back up." Clark joined the team on Monday for some shooting and was seen running to grab a rebound. Despite not having Clark and Cunningham once again, having White back after she missed Saturday's game against the Chicago Sky for "personal reasons" is good news. Advertisement White's partner, Lisa Salters, an ESPN sideline reporter, also missed Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, likely for the same reason.

Pistons Named Threat to Land Grizzlies Forward in Free Agency
Pistons Named Threat to Land Grizzlies Forward in Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA offseason is right around the corner and the Detroit Pistons are a team to monitor this summer as they try to upgrade their roster and build off their impressive season. Advertisement Detroit was able to finish sixth in the Eastern Conference this season and they gave the New York Knicks a fight in the first round before eventually falling in six games. Despite this, it was a successful season for the Pistons as they went from having the worst record in the NBA the prior two seasons to being a playoff team.

Of course, the Pistons could elect to make a trade for another star this offseason or they could just look to upgrade their rotation via trades and in free agency. Advertisement One player who has been linked to the Pistons is Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Grizzlies and other teams believe that the Pistons could be a threat to pursue Aldama this offseason. Aldama is a restricted free agent, which means that Memphis could match any offer he receives, though they may be willing to move on from him this summer if another team offers him too large of a contract, which Detroit could do. Detroit could be a perfect landing spot for Aldama as he would give them another big man and scorer who would likely come off the bench behind Tobias Harris.

Advertisement Aldama was able to improve his numbers again this season as he continues to develop his game, especially on the offensive side and he could be a key piece off the bench for Detroit if they elect to pursue him this summer.
