NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal dropped a hilarious photobomb on ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath during a live report in Saturday night's SEC college football game between LSU and Ole Miss.
It happened as the third quarter was about to begin, with Ole Miss leading 17-13. McGrath was reporting on her halftime conversation with LSU head coach Brian Kelly where he predicted the game would remain close and likely would go down to the wire. At that point, however, the message was likely missed by viewers with Shaq, an LSU alumni, popping into the shot from behind while eating a snack.

Shaq stepped out of the shot after a few seconds while McGrath finished her report. She admitted later that she knew someone was behind her, but finished her report like a true professional desipte the distraction.
McGrath had no idea that it was Shaq that was photobombing her. As payback, Shaq agreed to take some selfies with her.
Told him he owed me a selfie as payback. Hi @SHAQ pic.twitter.com/N95RaMez8K

Shaq likely went home happy as the Tigers beat the Rebels 29-26 in overtime.
