One can be the lonely number, but the number 2 is what sent Shaquille O'Neal urgently by extracting the stage “Inside The NBA” last month while the cameras continued to function.
O'Neal went to the truth on Thursday night during his 18th appearance in “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon”, giving what could be more detail than anyone who would need on that sudden game in April.
First, he clung to FIB, saying: “That day I was drinking a lot of water.
He explained that he was drinking olive oil at that time “to be sexy”, because he had seen on Instagram that if he drank olive oil daily for 14 days, he would clean his system and have a flat stomach. “So I was trying that.”
A laugh Fallon held his face in his hands.
“You know what,” said O'Neal. “I simply made a mistake. I listed you on National TV. It wasn't a number 1 race. It was a number 2 race. I had to go wrong. Oh, I had to go very badly.”
Fallon begged him to continue saying the lie. O'Neal asked if the host had seen him pressing his buttocks as he moved away from the desktop “Inside The NBA”.
Then Fallon showed a photo of what the crew did to O'Neal the next day: he put a blue-potty holder in the studio on his side of the table.
Blessed, the conversation moved in a different direction.
Things were a bit more serious, but no less fun in April when O'Neal got up while a coanfrerion was in the midst of speaking and, with great hurry, he walked awkwardly in front of his companions panelists and outside the door of the stage. Ernie Johnson Jr., Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were not sure what was happening.
“Are you okay, Big Fella?” Barkley asked with a look at his face.
While the camera (cruelly) followed, O'Neal released his coanfitations to “move on, keep talking” while one remembered: “Hello, we are on television.”
“It's that olive oil you've been drinking,” Barkley said. “Hey, carry some games with you.”
As the remaining hosts broke into the laughter, Kenny Smith said: “After 40, you can't hold it anymore.”
“That was not planned, right?” Ernie Johnson Jr. wondered.
Smith also pointed out that O'Neal had been drinking olive oil to clean his system, saying: “Oh, he is cleaning his intestine well!”
“I didn't like his march when he left!” Johnson said.
And Barkley simply couldn't overcome the idea of smell.
“Please turn off your microphone, that's,” Smith joked. Then, when Smith tried to talk about the Kawhai Leonard Clippers striker, the TNT J studio team arrived with Shaq's instant repetition rescuing. Instant. Damned. Repetition.
In only.
The three very professional analysts immediately began a very professional analysis of O'Neal's chambolic march.
The big man returned quite shortly after that, muttering something about drinking too much water and about Barkley speaking too much time when he really needed to cut a break.
“Sorry for that, America,” he said.
Seriously, Shaq, you have absolutely no reason to apologize. While remembering the games.
