Shaquille O’Neal knows no limits when it comes to pranks.
Two of the former NBA star’s teammates recently went on the record to reveal one of his pranks that left everyone reeling in disgust.

O’Neal is one of the NBA’s most successful players – the 7ft 1in giant enjoyed a remarkable 19-year career, with four NBA championships and three finals MVP.
Part of his success came from his fierce competitiveness and this even extended to his own teammates, as O’Neal look to assert his dominance in the locker room.
So when former NBA stars Jason Richardson and Matt Barnes revealed how O’Neal would relentlessly prank his teammates, it came as no surprise.
Although what was shocking was the level of detail in O’Neal’s pranks, as the former Phoenix Suns superstar knew no limits.
Richardson recently appeared on the Entirley NBA podcast where he revealed how O’Neal would torment Lou Amundson during their time at the Suns – from hiding his belongings in different parts of the arena, to teasing him in front of the entire roster.
Richardson played 14 seasons in the NBA and was with the Suns from December 2008 to December 2010 with O’Neal, along with Amundson who was on a two-year contract at the time.
“Lou, every time he came from his bike to practice, because he lived right across the arena, Shaq would take his bike and hide it,” Richardson said.
“So, every day at the practice, Lou is on a scavenger hunt, trying to find his bike. So, this goes on for the entire season,” Richardson said.
Amundson decided to respond to O’Neal’s antics by filling his car with popcorn, but this would spark the stomach-turning prank from the big man that left everyone disgusted.
As Richardson added: “Shaq’s like, ‘Good prank. You don’t know who you’re messing with.’ So the game happened, I come in the locker room. Shaq’s walking inside the locker room like it’s nothing.


“But he walking real slow and tight. He pulls a mouthpiece out of his a** and puts it in his [Amundson’s] locker. He told us, ‘Ya’ll better not say anything either’. We like, ‘This is getting out of hand’.”
Amundson would go on to use the mouthpiece and the Suns players erupted in laughter before quickly showing their disgust.
“The whole bench lost it. Lou didn’t know what happened until later when we told him Shaq put it in his a**,” Richardson said.
Barnes also added: “Anything in your locker room has probably been in Shaq’s ass. Throw it all away.”
According to Barnes, O’Neal’s pranks ultimately meant Amundson never crossed him again.
No wonder…
