When Shaquille O'Neal revealed his prank on his business manager: "Dennis is running after us for about a mile and a half and he's naked"

Not only was Shaquille O'Neal one of the best players in NBA history, but there's also a good argument to be made that he's one of the funniest of all time as well. O'Neal has made some hilarious jokes throughout his days and this one with his manager is certainly up there with some of his best.

Shaquille was managed by Dennis Tracey and was supposed to help O'Neal get ready for his upcoming trip to South America. O'Neal thought that South America was going to be warm, but he ended up freezing because it was in the middle of the winter. They went to Sao Paulo, Brazil, which typically has warm weather, even in the winter.

"Dennis Tracey is my manager, and he's supposed to be organizing this trip for me, but he forgot to take into account it was on the other side of the globe and it was winter there, so we had all the wrong clothes. I'm thinking I'm going to this warm South American city and instead I was freezing my a** off."

Shaquille O'Neal didn't forget about what Dennis did to him and knew he had to get him back one day. O'Neal then played a crazy trick on Dennis and made him do something that Tracey probably never wants to do again.

"I had to get Dennis back for that, so we're driving down the street in São Paulo and we're at a red light and I say to Dennis, 'Hey, dare you to jump out and run to the light and back with no clothes on.' It was probably about fifty yards away, tops.

Dennis says, 'What's it worth to you?' I told him, 'I'll give you five thousand dollars.' So Dennis whips off his clothes and jumps out of the car, and of course the light changes and we lock the doors and take off. So Dennis is running after us for about a mile and a half and he's naked. We finally let him back in—but only if he agrees to forfeit his five grand."

Not only did O'Neal make him run about a mile and a half, but he also didn't give Dennis the $5,000 that he was guaranteed.

Shaquille O'Neal had other pranks

Shaquille O'Neal didn't just prank his manager. He still makes pranks to this day and that makes him who he is. Some of the funnier ones in his life include the time when he told his teammates that he saw bigfoot in the desert. However, that isn't really what happened.

O'Neal had actually filmed himself in the middle of the desert and told his teammates that it was bigfoot. His former teammate, Raja Bell, explained what happened to The Ringer:

"He came in and said he saw a sasquatch in the desert. I saw a bigfoot; there was a bigfoot. My man had someone film him, and we didn't know it at the time. It was a grainy, blurry video of a desert at dusk, and the lighting is poor. This is a big f***ing figure walking like bigfoot would walk in some of those fake videos. Everybody is huddled around, and we are like, this isn't god damn bigfoot. That is your big a** walking through the desert. He set the whole st up."

Shaquille is one of a kind on and off the court.
