Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal took a little tumble (read: he ate it, hard) during the Inside the NBA halftime show of the Rockets vs. Clippers game Wednesday night. He fell so hard, in fact, he lost a shoe and broke part of the show's set.

Here it is again, with appropriate Kesha soundtrack.

We hate to laugh at your expense, Shaq, but that's happens when you're taller than 7 feet.

Luckily, if a Shaq falls in a TV studio and everyone is around to see it, it doesn't just make a sound -- it makes memes. The athlete even offered $500 to the funniest Photoshopped version.

Also, let's never forget that time Shaq fell into a Christmas tree.
