Seventeen Saucy 'Shaq Reading' Memes

Shaquille O'Neal is a lot of things: a basket ball legend, a talented sports analyst and an avid Twitter user. He's also famous for playing a genie in the terrible 1996 flick Kazaam. But over the last few years, we've enjoyed Shaq's appearance in memes the most. The most popular format to feature the athlete has been Sleeping Shaq, but we're here to celebrate Shaq Reading. The memes feature Shaq staring smugly at the camera with an open book. The photo was part of the American Library Association's 1990s "READ" campaign, but it's definitely made more of an impact as a vehicle for humor. This gallery, which includes some of our favorite examples, is only the tip of the Shaq Reading iceberg. If you need to know more, you can pore over the meme's entry at Know Your Meme.
