Shaquille "Shaq" O’Neal fell down and faceplanted on an “Inside the NBA” broadcast Wednesday, and now photos of his tumble have spawned an Internet meme sensation.
With good humor, O’Neal is offering $500 to the person who

O’Neal, who's a staggering 7-foot-1, fell on the “Inside the NBA” set, but he didn’t just trip and drop to one knee. He flew through the air, dragging a cord with him, lost a shoe, and then crashed to the floor. His co-hosts couldn’t stop laughing.
O’Neal posted the video of the fall on Twitter, and said, “Dam, I’m clumsy,” adding, “I almost broke my dam leg lol.”
