The Big Shaqtus

Who says professional athletes don't learn anything?

This video is from the Suns game on Sunday against the Spurs:


Scary, yet nice agility by Shaq to superman-jump over the kids in the first row and land in the second row.

This video is from the Suns game last night:


Watch the Suns bench scatter like scared children. I particularly like Asst. Coach Dan D'Antoni practically trampling people to get out of the way - He is right where the bench splits. He and the coaches go right, the players go left.

UPDATE: Found this quote from Dan D'Antoni about the play from AZ Central over at True Hoop (A fantastic blog by the way):

"When the ball started bouncing our way, I saw him kind of lower his torso down. All I could see were these two eyes starting to widen out and they were coming right at my seat. So I was trying to get up. I said, 'Well, I saw the last game.' And it wasn't looking good if he catches me. I'm too old. I would've sat in there but Robert (Sarver) doesn't have me insured. I wasn't about to give up my entire life right there. So I'm trying to move out of the way. Phil Weber, the other assistant coach, not very quick. I had to try to get him out of the way. I'm trying to move him out and then I looked at the team and they were all at the other side. Poor Shaq is sitting there, 'Isn't anybody going to give me any love?' I said not after the other night. No way was I staying."
