NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal saved from drowning by a group of kids in a resort pool in hilarious TikTok clip

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal had to be rescued from 'drowning' by a group of children while on vacation.

The former player showed off his wholesome side while on vacation in Honolulu, Hawaii over the weekend.

The big man had to be 'saved' by a hoard of children, who gave their best Baywatch impression to deliver him to safety after he 'drowned.' Thankfully for his fans, he was just joking.

Towering over the gaggle of children, Shaq declared he was 'drowning' before flopping into the water.

While one kid hilariously shrugged his shoulders and said deadpan, 'What a shame,' the others quickly scrambled to get him to shore

It was no easy task for the youngsters as Shaq kept up his rouse but they eventually managed to flip his 7-foot-1 frame over and carry him Jesus-style out of the water.
