Shaq Plays Keeper

The Suns are struggling this year in the NBA, but at least they know how to have a little fun. Shaquille O’Neal is near retirement age, if the MLS lose Beckham, maybe they can persuade Shaq to come back to LA and play not with Kobe but with Landon. The Galaxy does need a keeper. Shaq would be the biggest keeper in the world no doubt.

Can you image him coming out to take a cross away from an opposing forward or charging at a player in a one on one? He’s quick too. Watch how he takes off after he makes the save to celebrate.

At the conclusion of practice Monday, the 7-1, 325-pound center decided to test the soccer abilities of his fellow teammates. Shaq decided to jump in front of the elongated matt mounted on the wall along the baseline of the team’s practice court. The matt, which is approximately the size of a soccer goal, gave Shaq the opportunity to begin verbally challenging Steve Nash to attempt a penalty kick on him.
