Shaquille O'Neal Shows Off Deformed Toe On TV; Twitter Reacts In Horror

BOSTON (CBS) -- The Celtics' performance in the first half of Game 5 vs. Cleveland was not the ugliest thing in the building on Thursday night. Not by a long shot.

That honor belonged to one Shaquille O'Neal, the Hall of Fame player who was at the TD Garden as a part of TNT's broadcast crew.

For whatever reasons, Shaq decided to display his big toe to the world during halftime.

It was gross.

Like, really gross.

As a warning, you should probably not scroll down unless you have a strong stomach.

Here goes nothing.

Unsurprisingly, the internet reacted in shocked horror.

Former teammate Kevin Garnett -- who's seen some things in his day -- had to get in on the reaction, too.

Shaq's son was, understandably, mortified.

Of course, Shaq did play in the NBA at 7-foot-1, 325 pounds. He played in more than 1,400 games, which amounted to more than 50,000 minutes on the court. So there was bound to be some residual damage.

But ... nobody expected to see it on TV on Thursday night. And nobody ever wants to see it again.
