Ahead of his 52nd birthday on Wednesday, March 6, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal had a hilarious moment with his fellow NBA on TNT hosts Las Vegas Aces star Candace Parker, former NBA guard Jamal Crawford, and Adam Lefkoe. The former Lakers center pranked his fellow hosts as he dished out fake $100 bills on his birthday eve, and the video has gone viral on social media.
The fans missed the quartet of Shaq, Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith, however, the Tuesday crew also had a fair share of entertainment last night. While the WNBA star left out Shaq from her all-time NBA starting five, O'Neal played a hilarious prank on Parker and Crawford.

Shaq hilariously burst into tears while others asked the two-time WNBA MVP the reasons behind picking Garnett over Shaq despite the former Celtics forward, who wasn't even a center. Candace claimed her starting five resembles the trend of "positionless basketball".
