Shaquille O’Neal, though retired from the NBA, still doesn’t fail to entertain fans with his humor. Whether it’s hilarious photoshopped images or memes, Shaq never shies away from trolling players and celebrities. This time, the former NBA star targeted Rudy Gobert after the latter’s underwhelming performance in Saturday’s France vs Brazil Olympic match.
During France’s group-stage game against Brazil, Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert experienced a tough moment when he was dunked by Brazil forward Joao Cardoso. Despite Gobert’s effort, he couldn’t stop the Brazilian from completing the dunk, and he ended up on the floor afterward.
Soon after the game, Shaq posted a meme on his Instagram story to troll the Frenchman. The meme suggested that Gobert would be working as a Walmart cashier if he was not a seven-footer.
