It’s not easy being openly clowned in a very public forum.
However, such is the life for NBA athletes who fail in magnificent ways, as they fall prey to Shaqtin’ A Fool, a top-5 video showcase of weekly NBA bloopers compiled by the guys on Inside the NBA on TNT with commentary provided by Shaquille O’Neal himself.
O’Neal is known for his sense of humor and is frequently given to clowning and/or pranking others—all in good fun, mind you.
He and the producers at Inside the NBA put a number on Denver Nuggets shooting guard Evan Fournier, who turned the ball over by throwing an errant inbounds pass to no one in the left corner. This unforced error occurred in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Hawks while only down by four.
Not the best time to get your Shaqtin’ A Fool highlight.
Fournier, however, is not averse to being laughed at, as he took the jokes in stride.
Did you know that Fournier means “terrible inbound passer “in French ?! Lol thanks to @SHAQ for my first appearance in Shaqtin a fool.

For reference, Fournier’s blooper appears at the 1:07 mark in the Shaqtin’ video below.
