Earlier this week, we showed you a basketball + soccer video staring Kevin Garnett and David Beckham. Not to be outdone, the always entertaining Shaquille O'Neal also decided to take a stab at the game of soccer. But unlike KG, Shaq focused on goal tending. Here's footage of Shaq successfully blocking Leandro Barbosa's goal attempt:



What this footage didn't show was Steve Nash sneaking one by Shaq just a few minutes earlier. That might explain why Shaq was so happy to block Leandro's kick. And did you see Leandro do that pre-kick stomp? What was that all about?

Anyhow, it's good to see that -- despite standing ninth in the Western Conference -- the Suns still know how to have a little fun. You can read more details about Shaq's soccer showdown with Barbosa and Nash on the Suns' Website.
