Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most legendary basketball players of all time. He’s also one of the most prolific Twitter users in the social media service’s history.
When Shaq tweets, millions of followers have always listened. That was the case Sunday night when Shaq tweeted a shocking photograph showing himself laying on a hospital bed.

“I’m always watching [TNT host] Ernie Johnson and [TNT analyst] Candace Parker. Miss y’all,” Shaq wrote in the tweet.
It’s currently unknown what is ailing Shaq. However, that didn’t stop the NBA world from coming together to wish the Hall of Famer well in his apparent recovery.

“When the wife asks me, ‘Want to go look at paint samples?'” joked another fan.
Shaq played collegiately with the LSU Tigers before entering the 1992 NBA Draft. The Orlando Magic selected him with the No. 1 overall pick, and he went on to justify that ranking throughout his career.
He finished as a four-time NBA champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP before retiring in 2011.
