A Video by Shaquille O’Neal on a scooter made it into the segment. The three hosts commented on Shaq’s hilarious video. However, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith refused to believe it was Shaq on the scooter. The Big Aristotle resented the hosts for calling him a scooter. He said, “First, this isn’t a scooter, this is Harley-Davidson. Never disrespect my machine like that.”

Shaquille O’Neal pulls off an incredible stunt and makes everyone gasp
As the video played, Johnson put Shaq to the test. He presented the four-time NBA champion with bikes of different sizes. The sizes were in descending order. The first bike he rode looked like a no-brainer. He walked around the studio comfortably while Smith and Barkley hoped for a crash. Johnson, on the other hand, couldn’t stop laughing.
The next in line was smaller with tassels around the edges of the handles and training wheels. This was a children’s ride as it showcased the colors pink, purple and blue. “Your name is written all over here, Shaq.” said Barkley in mockery. To the great surprise of many, Shaq managed to cycle through the studio once again. Once again, the hosts were hoping for Shaq to fall.
The studio erupted in laughter. While pointing to Shaq’s stance, Smith said: “He has a lot…” Charles Barkley completed the sentence for Smith, saying: “A lot of shit.” Smith, Johnson and Barkley cheered him on as he successfully attempted to ride the smallest bike imaginable.
Shaq on a unicycle
Shaq’s real test came when he tried to ride a unicycle. Kenny Smith offered his support, saying he had some experience on the matter. However, Shaq refused, shouting: “I do not need your help.”

Barkley asked Shaq not to hurt himself. He explained that he doesn’t want to laugh when Shaq falls. On the other hand, Johnson was concerned for Shaq’s safety. He encouraged him not to ride a bike. Shaq was fed up with this mess and asked everyone to “Sh**u*.”
Shaq couldn’t ride the unicycle. After this segment, however, the entire studio was in shambles.
