That tremor you felt Wednesday night wasn’t an earthquake. Retired basketball icon and rapper-extraordinaire Shaquille O’Neal merely fell over on the set of TNT’s ‘Halftime Report’ during Wednesday night’s Houston Rockets-L.A. Clippers game.

Shaq caught his size 22 foot on a monitor cable and spilled onto the floor, losing his shoe in the process. Despite his claims that co-host Ernie Johnson set him up, video evidence points to this being only the second self-'Shaq Attack' ever caught on camera. O’Neal took to Twitter after the show and offered $500 cash to the creator of the best meme.

Shaq’s pride might be wounded a little bit, but maybe the occasional actor can turn it into an audition tape for the role of The Giant in the Jack and the Beanstalk reboot currently in development.
