There is no doubt that Shaquille O’Neal is one of the funniest players in the history of the NBA. While on the court, Shaq was fearsome and dominant, he is a complete riot off the court. Shaq is hilarious, and consistently entertains fans. And he went the extra mile to give the fans a hilarious Christmas gift.
As part of Christmas celebrations, Shaq and Inside The NBA on TNT teamed up with Bleacher Report for O’Neal to recreate some scenes from some of the most iconic Christmas movies. These movies include Elf, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Love Actually, and Home Alone.

Seeing Shaq in these iconic outfits being added to these iconic movies was truly wonderful. It gives NBA fans a laugh during a time when their Christmas entertainment is in jeopardy, given the NBA’s recent struggles with COVID-19, and how these struggles could derail some enticing match-ups on Christmas day.
O’Neal has always been one of the funniest players in the NBA. He once hilariously delivered his own rendition of the ‘Cheers’ theme song to make fun of Vlade Divac and the Sacramento Kings after knocking them out of the Western Conference Finals in 2002.
He also recently wore a wig on Inside The NBA to hide some scars, a move that garnered a lot of laughs among fans. It is clear that in his post-NBA career, Shaq has made it a priority to try and entertain fans and bring them a few laughs while he does the show every week.
O’Neal’s most hilarious interaction usually comes next to Charles Barkley. He and Barkley have a friendly rivalry, and constantly make fun of each other and crack jokes at each other’s expense. But even without Chuck, Shaq is one of the funniest NBA personalities going today.
