Shaq Joins The Hebrew Craze

I’m going to be honest. I hate everything about Shaquille O’Neal. He’s cocky. He’s arrogant. He thinks he is funnier than he is. And most of all, he was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

But I guess when he makes some Jewish references, it’s my duty to tell you about it. So here we go.

A couple months ago, in my interview with Sacramento Kings star, Omri Casspi, I asked him about his experience meeting Shaq during a Kings-Cavs game. Casspi said that Shaq came up to him saying “Shalom Aleichem.” Who knew that Shaq had more in his repertoire than those two words?

Shaq was recently approached by a TMZ paparazzi man with some questions. Shaq decided, maybe in the spirit of Amar’e Stoudemire, to respond to him with some Hebrew vocabulary.

After watching this video, you will come to one of two conclusions. Either Shaq doesn’t understand the words he is saying, or, he is incredibly excited for Rosh Hashanah.

Since either TMZ doesn’t allow you to embed videos or I’m dumb, you will have to go to their site right here to watch it. Apologies!
