Shaquille O'Neal's Workout Video Sparks Online Frenzy
A recent gym video posted by the NBA legend has fans reacting enthusiastically.
Shaquille O'Neal, the basketball icon, recently shared a video on TikTok of himself shirtless in the gym performing weight exercises. The clip, which featured the song “Back Then” by Mike Jones, quickly garnered attention online. O'Neal captioned the video, “Here I come Arnold Shaqanager,” a playful nod to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The video prompted a flurry of reactions in the comments section, with many users expressing their amusement and admiration. Phrases like "Shaq call me," and "Unc is alive I mean ALIVE," appeared frequently, reflecting a playful and supportive response from fans.
This social media activity follows O'Neal's recent appointment as an honorary FBI Special Agent. He graduated from the 299th session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, on September 17. During his graduation ceremony, O'Neal humorously instructed the agents to "arrest Charles Barkley" if they encountered his "Inside the NBA" co-host.
O'Neal, who also performs as a DJ under the name Diesel, has a long-term contract with TNT Sports. Reports from early last year indicated his deal would pay him over $15 million annually. In November 2024, TNT licensed the Emmy Award-winning show "Inside the NBA" to ESPN, in exchange for a package of Big 12 college basketball and football games.
