'Oh damn, sorry': Shaquille O'Neal leaves panel in stitches after hilarious live TV mishap
There's never a dull moment when Shaquille O'Neal is in the building.
The 52-year-old NBA icon, who won four championships during his career on the court, has turned his fame into plenty of media gigs in the United States and abroad.
O'Neal is a regular on Inside The NBA, which is a gameday panel featuring other experts.

But on Wednesday (AEDT), the show was thrown into chaos when O'Neal got a little bit too excited and broke a pretty crucial piece of equipment - the big screen television.

During the half-time break of a clash between the Milwaukee Bucks and Orlando Magic, the beloved figure would walk towards the screen as the panel prepared to break down some of the footage from what had taken place thus far.
O'Neal would slap the screen with his bear-sized hands and it immediately showed a huge crack in the middle right as co-host Kenny Smith was about to begin his analysis.
"Oh damn, sorry," he said.
Smith made light of the situation immediately after.
"We'll see if it works ... no," he said.
"I had this type of TV growing up, so I can definitely do it."
Along with Smith and O'Neal, the popular show also includes broadcaster Ernie Johnson and former league MVP Charles Barkley.
