Shaq breaks it down with the Jabberwockies

February 15, 2009

This is precisely why we should all do our best to vote Shaquille O’Neal into the All-Star game for every year until he retires. Before the introduction of the All-Star starters, O’Neal came out as the centerpiece of the Jabberwockies dance crew with the trademark white mask on.
