Seattle Supersonics Gary Payton has claimed that NBA star Shaquille O'Neal used to prank teammates by dumping buckets of poo and p**s on them.
Some may take it and feel like its a privilege to be sh*t on by a basketball legend such as O'Neal, but others, like myself, would consider it a step too far. At least if they were in the shower they could wash it off straight away... right?
Either way, Payton - O'Neal's former Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat teammate - has spilled all the beans on how newcomers were welcomed into the group.
Payton told Vlad TV how Shaq was just the ultimate 'jokester'.
He said: 'Shaq is a jokester, so if one of the rookies would be in the stall, he would take a bucket, and use the bathroom in it for about a week then all of the sudden he’d pour it on them.'

However, Payton was able to get Shaq back for his prank.
'So we started being jokesters. So I said I got to get him. So I got his shorts, his drawers one day, and I took them, and he had to wear them underneath his thing, and be free-balling all the time. But we messed up his pants, so he didn't have his drawers because he was trying to find his drawers, but I had him. So he had to wrap a towel round him,' he said.
However, the basketball player noted how Shaq simply didn't care about his lack of pants.
Payton reflected: 'He'd go outside with the towel on and everything, he was doing all kinds. He'd get in his truck, ride around and then throw the towel out and be free-balling, so I used to keep his free shorts and pairs of drawers and everything.'
