Shaquille O'Neal Finally Explains That Hilarious Meme of Him Hiding Behind a Tree

If you've ever seen the amazing meme of 7'1" Shaquille O'Neal trying to hide from paparazzi behind a tiny tree and wondered what in the world he thought he was doing, you finally have an answer. While stopping by The Late Late Show With James Corden on Monday night, James asked the basketball star about the photo in question and called it "the worst hiding I've ever seen." Shaq never misses an opportunity to crack a joke and was happy to explain. "I was in Beverly Hills doing a little shopping and I saw the [paparazzi] walk by, because they were chasing somebody else," he said. "I didn't want them to see me, but I couldn't run since I'm too big to run, so I found that tree. I just wanted to stay still and blend in." Although that reasoning seemed to work for people trying to avoid the T-Rex in Jurassic Park, it didn't go too well for Shaq. Watch his hilarious explanation above, which starts at about the 1:20-minute mark.
