So, as the lady\u2019s back was turned, the basketball great looked directly at her camera and began to dance. At this point, the content creator spotted the star on her phone but did not know who was interrupting her flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding humor in the spontaneous social media collab, the influencer turned around to be greeted by a sporting icon, but at this point, she had no idea who he was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Spoileddchickk2\u2019 Explains How the Viral Moment With Shaq went down<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m just at the gym, just working out,\u201d explained the content creator. \u201cI really did not want to come to the gym today \u2026 but I just went anyway. And then I ran into this really tall guy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dedicated gym goer said she had been \u201cirritated\u201d and \u201cbloated\u201d before her session and didn\u2019t want to go, but fortunately, her workout served up some unexpected comedy relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apparently, \u201cspoileddchickk2\u201d did not know straight away that her new gym partner was an NBA icon. \u201cI asked him what his name was, he told his name was Lebron James,\u201d she recounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just looking to have some fun, Shaq proceeded to \u201cmotivate\u201d the lady in his charismatic style, before posing for the camera one again. \u201cYou never know who you are going to bump into at the gym,\u201d said the influencer of her chance meeting with a sporting legend. \u201cThe day that you don\u2019t feel like going is where you need to f****g go,\u201d she asserted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, despite the hilarity of this moment, we don\u2019t advise the invasion of other people\u2019s gym space.
