NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is a lot of things, but nobody expected “supporter of a Shaq Fu remake” to be one of them.
When a teaser for Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, most folks online didn’t know whether or not it was a joke or serious, but now there’s an Indiegogo page set up, and Shaq himself appeared at SXSW to promote it, so yes, it’s very serious.
