What would possess Shaq to do something like this is way beyond my understanding.
Considering all the negative publicity the NBA is getting these days with the racist Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his apparent dislike of black people, the last thing the NBA needs at this point is one of their own icons putting down the disabled. And that’s exactly what’s happening here.
On the left is Shaq himself and on the right is Jamel Binion. Binion is disabled, but that didn’t stop Shaquille from making fun of the man. He thought it would be funny to post this picture on his instagram.
FOX 2 reports the post, captioned “Smile today,” earned more than 14,000 likes, with former University of Michigan athlete Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame joining in on the teasing.
The post has been deleted. But for Binion, the damage has been done.
