Shaquille O'Neal Once Chased Dorell Wright Naked In Miami Heat's Locker Room
NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal has one of the most recognizable personalities in league history, making lasting impacts at each destination.
The Miami Heat were no exception in his four-year stint with the organization. O'Neal spoke with former Heat guard Mario Chalmers about the time he chased teammate Dorell Wright around the locker room naked.
"You got to understand that when I'm on a team, I'm the president, I am the emperor, so when you're a rookie, do what the [expletive] I say, man, or I got to show you how to get down like this was around the time you could really put hands on people," O'Neal said on Playmaker HQ's 'The Big Podcast with Shaq'. "So I told him [Dorell Wright] to do something; he didn't do it, and like he's also similar to me cause he's a jokester, he thought I was playing, so I said yo man, and I chased him around the locker room. I was butt naked."
The 15-time All-Star big man won a championship alongside Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade with the Heat. He averaged 19.6 points and 9.1 rebounds in his time in Miami.
Wright is the older brother of recently acquired Heat guard Delon Wright. Although it's safe to say he won't experience anything the magnitude of his brother, the Heat are a team filled with a variety of comical moments.
