Internet cracks up as there's a portable toilet for Shaq on Inside the NBA set
Shaquille O'Neal had to miss screen time and rush from the set to take a potty break on Inside the NBA. Making it easier for Shaq the next day—and in case any of his co-hosts were in need—the producers placed a portable toilet on the set. And it was time for them to take it to the next level. Shaq made full use of the portable toilet, complete with added sound effects and more, making the internet ROFL.
Shaq even turned around to show some toilet paper hanging out of his pants.
Hilarious memes flooded the internet as social media couldn't stop laughing over Shaq's toilet break. Sharing a meme featuring a portable toilet, an X user wrote, 'God bless these men and nba on tnt the Porto potty presence on this set is terrifying.' Targeting the Minnesota Timberwolves, which lost to the Los Angeles Lakers recently, another commented, 'Wolves with no ball movement, but Shaq with the bowel movements!'
One more tweeted, 'ShaqFu, more like ShaqPoo! You guys are too funny! Love your show! And thanks for always having a sense of humor! #NBAONTNT.'
A comment also read: 'No one combines sports and comedy like these guys.' Another read: 'When you got to go. You got to go.'
Amid all this, Shaq's co-hosts Charles Barkley, Ernie Johnson Jr., and Kenny Smith simply savored the fun. Smith pointed out that they had gone way above the limits on the show with the toilet episode. Shaq had revealed that he had too much olive oil to clean his gut, which led him to rush for a toilet break.

Talking about the growing years that shaped his confidence, he said: 'You know, growing up, I always wanted to be the best at everything I was doing. Um, I just never let anybody tell me I couldn't do anything, so um, and I never let you know everything. I used to do I used to prove people wrong.
