Correction: The photo of Shaquille O’Neal and Nikki “Hoopz” Alexander in this story was taken in July, not during a recent television shoot. NESN.com regrets the error.
Shaquille O’Neal‘s Achilles injury has prevented him from doing just about anything on a basketball court since January, but it’s apparently well enough to do his best Cirque du Soleil impression with his fiance, Nikki “Hoopz” Alexander.
In a recent shoot for a local TV segment, Shaq and Hoopz managed a balancing act in which Hoopz stood atop the feet of an upside-down Big Shamrock.
It’s not exactly playing NBA basketball, but Shaq’s surely looks to be able to function a little bit.
It does, however, remain to be be seen when he will be available to step on the court for the Celtics.
Is Shaq’s acrobatic workout a sign that his Achilles will soon be fine? Leave your thoughts below.
