Replying to Kyle, Shaquille O'Neal said "It's a theory, you know they teach us a lot of things. Just a theory." Giving an elaborate explanation of his theory, Shaquille O'Neal went ahead saying "For example, I flew 20 hours a day. Not once did I go this way. I didn't go, you know. I didn't tip over. I didn't go upside down so." Concluding his statement, the retired NBA legend said, "It's just a conspiracy theory." Shaquille O'Neal's statement did become a viral talk of the town, back then and still, it's as entertaining as ever.
