Shaquille O’Neal is known for his playful and often relentless trolling, especially when it comes to Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert. O’Neal never misses an opportunity to take a dig at Gobert, and Team USA’s victory over France in the Paris Olympics gave him another perfect chance.
During the game between Team USA and France, there was a moment when Gobert tried to make a move in the post. But he lost his balance and ended up on the floor. Gobert was suddenly seen grabbing onto Team USA center Joel Embiid’s knees while leaving his head uncomfortably close to Embiid’s groin area.
The odd incident didn’t escape Shaq’s notice. The four-time NBA champion quickly took to Instagram to share a clip of the moment while adding a series of laughing emojis.
“What this move called?” O’Neal captioned the post.

Rudy Gobert Hints at Retirement After France’s Olympic Defeat
Rudy Gobert’s future with the French national team seems uncertain after a heartbreaking 98-87 loss to Team USA in the Paris Olympics. The defeat, which left France just short of the gold medal, has sparked speculation that Gobert might be considering retirement from international play.
Gobert left his future open to speculation when asked if he was considering retirement from international play.
“I don’t know, we’ll see, we’ll see. But what I know is that I really try to appreciate every moment,” he responded.
Gobert had a limited role throughout the Paris Olympic tournament, which may have contributed to his uncertain outlook. The Minnesota Timberwolves star finished the tournament averaging 3.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.
