Shaquille O'Neal has always had a humorous personality, which was evident during his playing days. The 7-foot-1 center endeared himself to the fans with his dominance on the court and his antics.

Despite his playing days being over for a long time, he continues to delight fans on the show 'Inside the NBA' and through his social media accounts.

Recently, O'Neal posted a reel on his official Instagram page that has delighted many of his followers. The reel is for the music video of 'Smack That' by Akon featuring Eminem, but it has been edited to replace Akon's voice and face with Shaq's.

Of course, the fans took to the reel's comments to express their appreciation for the edit. Here are some of the reactions.

"First he shattered backboards, now he shatters billboards," A fan commented.

I need to see Ernie as Eminem," One follower commented, most likely referring to Shaq's Inside the NBA co-host.

Another follower asked for the involvement of his other co-host, saying:

"Get Chuck involved, Chuck and Shaq duet."
