If there’s one thing preseason basketball is good for (well, outside return of NBA action), it is the rookie initiation rituals. From getting assigned nicknames to singing the birthday song to a vet to toting a Justin Bieber backpack, it is the Association way.

On Saturday night, it was Kyle Singler’s turn to get singled out:



Pretty PG as far as rookie pranks go. Does it beat Charles Oakley hemming up a just-drafted Scottie Pippen on camera? Methinks not.

If he had to fight, Shaq-fu would take on these NBA players

Here is Shaquille O’Neal, calling out five players he’d like to face in the octagon if given the opportunity:

First off, I’d just like to say that there are many reasons why it must be great to be Shaq, but the ability to wear a plain white t-shirt on national television is near the top of the list of things I am jealous of.

Pretty interesting to hear him call out Charles Oakley, who I always considered to be the toughest guy in the NBA in his tenure, and frankly, even if he’s pushing 50, I still wouldn’t want to be getting on his bad side — even as a joke, and even if I were 7-feet 360.

Also, as we all know, Shaq and Charles Barkley famously already scrapped once. My guess is this clip gets played pretty early on in Shaq’s Thursday night career.
