One of the things that likely will never change in the NBA, is rookies getting pranked by their veteran teammates.
It’s just like a never ending circle. Additionally, rookie hazing is always kind of fun for us fans, as long as the prank goes overboard.
Apparently though, this is what happened when Shaquille O’Neal was hazing his rookies. He took things one step too far. According to his former teammate Gary Payton, Shaq used to prank rookies by dousing them in a bucket of his own urine while they were in a stall.
“Shaq is a jokester, so if one of the rookies was in a stall, he would take a bucket and use the bathroom in it for about a week, then all of a sudden he’d pour it on them.”
