When Shaquille O'Neal Isn't Missing Free Throws, He's Dancing or Gaming

Shaq is known for his lengthy career in basketball, but one prominent dance star thinks O'Neal should have been a dancer instead. And if dancing didn't work out, he could have just become a professional gamer.

Shaq was always a strong player from the post. However, when it came to free throws or dropping shots from the outside, Shaq's percentages would drop almost every game.

Now reports have surfaced that suggest Shaq could have pursued a different career in showbiz all together.

Yes, its true, apparently Shaq has got moves, and according to TMZ Sports, even dancing professionals think Shaq has what it takes:

"According to You Got Served Star Ivan 'Flipz' Velez it's Shaquille O'Neal...[he said] that no athlete has ever danced as slick as [Shaq]. Ivan who's also a world famous break dancer who specializes in head spinning -- was out in L.A. when we asked him which pro baller has the best moves OFF the court, field, or diamond. Ivan says he's been sold on Shaq's dance prowess ever since he busted out some crazy skills during a battle with LeBron at the '07 All Star Game."

Busting some moves isn't Shaq's only pass time either. It looks like the 7ft.1in. baller likes to get down on some Nintendo with the family. According to US Magazine, Shaq is a serious gamer:

"When they're not going for walks, taking a swim or riding their bikes, the family unwinds with the new videogame Tomodachi Life. 'It helps us spend more time together,' O'Neal says of the game, in which he and other celebs are featured as characters. 'You get to make your own characters, you get to do wild and spontaneous things go to space, change the way you look, it's awesome. I'm a big gamer!'"

From the look of things, Shaq has it going on (off the court). What do you think? Could you beat Shaq in a dance off? Let us know in the comment section below.
