Last night I watched a documentary about “The Dream Team,” the 1992 USA Olympic basketball team that had every famous basketball player in the entire world on it, not because I am interested in any word that I just wrote but because sometimes in life you have to make compromises, and in the documentary they talked about why Isiah Thomas (a basketball player) wasn’t included on the team, and that was because he was a jerk and no one liked him I guess? But then today I saw this picture of Shaq, and it was so perfect, and I thought, wait, WHY WASN’T SHAQ ON THE TEAM? “Did Shaq get snubbed, too?” I wondered. “Why didn’t anyone in that documentary talk about Shaq, perfect Shaq, and why he wasn’t included?” So then I looked it up on the Internet, and as it turns out Shaq…wasn’t drafted…or something…until 1992? And…couldn’t be…? Listen, I got bored VERY VERY soon after I tried to find out why Shaq wasn’t included on the 1992 USA Olympic “Dream Team,” so I don’t actually have the answer. (Also I’m almost positive that it was a VERY dumb question to even ask.) But I did try to find out! And it was all because of this photo of Shaq on the set of Grown Ups 2 and how incredible it is, and also: look at how small that can of Hawaiian Punch looks in Police Officer Shaq’s hand!! And that’s what’s important. Trying. Also what is important is CAPTIONING THIS PHOTO!

Shaq paused for a moment to reflect, for he had realized the he was indeed the best actor in Grown Ups 2.
Listen, I might not “like” “sports”, but I’m pretty sure that’s Larry Bird.
Larry Bird isn’t bald!
It is not Larry Bird bcoz he doesnt have bald.
He maintains his hairstyle and health and very much consious on this.
And i came to know he takes [url=http://www.hcgdietdropsreview.biz/hcg-diet-meal-plan-information.html]diet meal plan[url] to keep his health fine.

Sadly not the most ridiculous Shaq has looked in a movie.
Steel far outweighs Kazaam in the ridiculous-looking department.
Now, using that Hawaiian Punch can as a gauge, try and visualize how big Shaq’s helmet is, and how big it would fit on an average-sized person’s head.
Guys, guys, did you know that Shaq is an honorary US Marshall and was a reserve officer in the LA Port Police?!!?!
You probably already knew that.

Caption contest aside, this photo is making me thirsty for a product that may longer exist.
i can’t get over how tiny that can is.
TWSS.
“Ridiculous.” -Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley is just jealous that Shaq won their Shaq Vs. golfing matchup. Sour grapes, Charlie.
He doesn’t even show up on the main IMDb page for this movie. He is a bench warmer on the cast of Grown Ups 2. Where is his pride?
“kazaam, kazaam, kazaaam…”
There is no way that this is a normal-sized can of soda.
An estimated 60% of NBA players declare bankruptcy less than five years after retiring.
“Shaq in Grown-Ups 2 is a SLAM DUNK!” – your local TV station
He looks like a real blookhead.
he’s air bald.
He’s balled.
Bubba Smith is not amused.
Neither is Reginald VelJohnson
These aren’t handcuffs – these are Shackles.
Shaqles?
You shaqed the code.
Shaq insisted on a chonmage haircut as a personal nod to the period films of Acura Kirbysaurus, Shaq’s favorite Japanese filmmaker, and his inspirational center for this ronin-esque police officer character.
Also, this is for the Police Academy reboot, not Grown Ups 2.
Damn. I try and crowbar in a another joke at the end, only to find that jawnofthedead’s already posted a pic of Moses Hightower.

WINNER!
This is what happens when you let Aaron Carter beat you at basketball.
Somebody had to.
That wasn’t supposed to be a reply! But I did want to reply and thank you for finding the “That’s How I Beat Shaq” joke in this picture.
Blingee gifs are the best thank you in the world.
I searched through many pages of Aaron Carter Blingee gifs and found the best one that wouldn’t give us a seizure.
Kelly – even though Shaq was still a college student, he could have been selected for the team because there was a spot reserved for a college player. That spot went to Christian Laettner, who was certainly a very good college player, at least in part because he was white and handsome and went to Duke.
Shaq believes Christian Laettner was chosen because although Shaq was more powerful, Laettner was more fundamentally sound. Makes sense based on the role an undrafted college player would be playing on that team.

If I’m not mistaken, Shaq was the first alternate? And Laettner had just made “the shot” a few months before, so he was as big a deal as a college player could be at the time.
Casting Louis C.K. as a cop in “Grown Ups 2″ was a bit of an odd choice, but requiring him to play the role in black face made no sense whatsoever.
Aw! Shaqzilla!

Happy Madison’s resident tailor was thrilled from the start to put down the khakis and ball caps, to work on a project he could experience the genuine feeling of accomplishment, which hadn’t happened since making a cape during the Little Niki era. Upon finishing the gargantuan garment he swooned inside the front pocket never to be seen again.
