Shaq’s Feet: Shaquille O’Neal Reveals His Foot, Twitter Goes Insane With GIFs And Memes Of His Toes [Video]
The below video from the Bleacher Report shows Shaquille O’Neal’s foot, with an accompanying post that simply reads, “Bruh.” Twitter has also gone wild at the thought of Shaq daring to reveal either one of his feet so boldly to the camera, with no socks covering his toes. Shaq gave the broadcast camera what Wendy Williams would call “shoe cam,” but in this instance, the half-time break saw Shaq giving the camera “foot cam.”
Shaq entertained the viewers of the Cleveland-Boston NBA game by wiggling his right foot and toes in front of the camera, and Shaq received a bunch of good-natured ribbing as a result. The talk about Shaq’s feet occurred when the cross-promotion for the new TV show titled Claws was being discussed. As reported by the Bradenton Herald, Claws is all about a nail salon that is set in Palmetto, Florida. The promos have shown Niecy Nash’s character joking about the size of Shaq’s feet, stating that she would overcharge Shaq if he showed up to their fictional salon.
With the premiere episode coming to TNT on June 11, the show received lots of hype during the NBA game on Thursday, May 25. That was the impetus for Shaq revealing his real foot to the camera.

As Shaq proudly proclaimed that he never gets pedicures, his co-hosts teased him, saying that they could tell he never treats his feet. Shaq’s co-hosts also told him that he makes too much money to have feet that look that bad.
Shaq has earned comparisons to famous fictional TV characters with bad feet, such as Cole Brown from Martin.
Shaq’s feet were also compared to the feet of other famous men.
