The NBA scene has some of its funny moments. One of them was a hilarious video created by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal showing the cost of a wager gone wrong.
The TNT analyst, possibly after some deep-level analysis, predicted that Milwaukee Bucks was going to beat Miami Heat by 20 points. His friend, Dwyane Wade, who was a former Heat player, disagreed, and a wager was struck.

At the end of the match, it turned out that the basketball legend should have bet on Heat as they won the game 105-89. It was time for the former basketballer to pay up.

Dwyane Wade, an NBA star, decided he didn't want money. Instead, he asked his friend to grow his hairline. The result? O'Neal showed up on Instagram singing:
“You’ll never find — bum bum bum bum — a hairline like mine."
