  • @jazzylady34 me and you both I dont pay attention to these peoples kives I got bills to pay

  • But, if a person has sleep apnea then does it happen EVERY night?? Because if it doesnt, then what of they test him on a night that it doesnt happen??

  • @RicoLove954

    I have sleep apnea and yes, it does happen every night.

  • @Wildspiritthecat hmm...Im just wondering because I know that there are times when I can feel it happen to me..But I dnt know if it happens to me every night..

  • my neighbor actually died from this.He lived alone and one day just held his breath too long and never woke up.He wasnt found till 2 days later by his brother

  • can i wear it to the club ? lol

  • Good Job Shaq. I hope it gets better

  • aww they look so cute together!!!

  • poly what

  • Started off watching shuffling... how did I get here?

  • @cmbmichelle3 lol

  • I dont think she is

  • FLAVOR FLAAAAV!!!

  • Sleep Apnea is a serious issue. People who suffer from it snore really loud. It sounds like a grizzly bear is sleeping in your home. Like Hoopz said, 1 day Shaq stopped breathing in his sleep. That happens sometimes and If you don't get treatment for it, you're taking a risk of possibly dying in your sleep one day. Many people have sleep apnea. The oxygen mask might be uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to it, it's like putting on your shoes everyday.

  • My father had that.... and I been telling my ole' man that he has .....

  • @CARTOONx22x

    c pap machine

  • I didn't know Shaq has sleep apnea. Atleast he got help.

  • @OpTicRancor lmao

  • Sorry Shaq, that mask doesnt work for everyone. They didn't show you how Shaq did when they administered the air.

  • very interesting...

  • Many big people have sleep apnea...I'm guessing prob 70% or more of NFL offensive and some defensive linemen for example. My bro has it and using the CPAP is so annoying to him. If I were Shaq I'd maybe try surgery first since he has the money and time, even though its not 100% effective.

  • wasn't she the same girl looking for love on flava flavs show?

  • @Anthonydp yes 

  • you can find more information here

  • I did not know they were together... wow

  • my dad is quite a large man, he has sleep apnea too, but he always starts breathing again by himself

  • For some reason i can't believe hoopz is dating shaq though. lol

  • I invite anyone suffering from sleep apnea to view my "CPAP No More! video, my personal story of how I discovered an alternate manner of sleeping that does not involve using CPAP. This is NOT an advertisement, but a personal testimony. Cheers.

  • this is just nonsense. Every apnea sufferer I know can not use the respiratory device for more than a few months. You end up getting less sleep with it than you did without it.

  • @OpTicRancor @OpTicRancor get this joker a spot on Conan! Am i right, am i right? yuk yuk yuk

  • She's gorgeous !

  • poly what?

  • HEY isn't that "hoopz" from the Flavor flav show ? Wasn't Shaq married to someone else, is he dating her or something, married ?

  • *YeaH ThaT Is HeR*...He GoT DiVoRcEd...

  • As a straight man, I'm not ashamed to say I love Shaq.

  • She was probably in Junior High when he filmed Kazaam.

  • he didnt have sleep apnea, hoopz was just tired of his ass snoring so loud!

  • 3:42

  • now he is retired :(

  • Props up to Hoopz! Shaq was married before and his ex-wife didn't pick this up-that he has sleep apnea or the snoring and him not breathing in his sleep?? Wow! Don't know what kind of person she is or if they are good for each other but she helped him in this; sleep apnea causes risks for cardiovascular system and weakens the heart.

  • i liked shaq in Kazaam

  • @frosty321 only reality show contestant take you to the cleaners????

  • @kemetkush I thought there were never dumb questions, I have been proven wrong.

  • @frosty321 you thought there were never dumb questions???? hahahaha

  • @initpurevids Not getting sarcasm fail.

  • @OpTicRancor hahahahaha that just made my night

  • his wife is pretty cute like her eyes and smile just saying

  • @EliteSlayar his GF

  • @fluffypimpdaddy oh well didn't know

  • it's seriously sooooo funny that this is about sleep apnea n everybody is talking about hoopz, gold digging or flavour flav lol

  • Shaq probably calls her Hoopz heprolly dont know her real name...smh i use to like her before i found out all she was about is money!

  • @churchboy12 She is the girl that was on the "Flavor of love" show. Flavor flav gave her that nick name Hoopz on his show. Her real name is Nicole Alexander

    Alexander was the winner of the first season of Flavor of Love. [1]

    In 2008, Alexander also was a contestant on the VH1 reality show, I Love Money. After defeating Joshua "Whiteboy" Gallander at the final challenge, she was named the $250,000 winner.[

  • damn hoopz is so fine

  • @madzane94 YOU SO RIGHT I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dakingceasar88 What? Why? When? lol

  • @KayThaaPkerr MY SOUL

  • Shaqs Ex was HOTTER

  • 3:43 HAHAHAHA

  • I`d rather die in my sleep too.

    

  • i thought apnea was a person he assaulted

  • shaq can make anything entertaining

  • trade Bynum for Shaq Daddy!

  • @Mr8BitHero1 not really

    she's has alway's been a basketball fan

  • shes hot

  • Hoopz and Shaq ---- quite the cute couple. lol

  • Keep pressing 6 and try not to laugh XD

  • Press 5 fast for " Eat your Daddy" ha and Shaq's like " Wha?"

  • Wait, so his ex-wife Shaunie didnt tell him!? Mmk... <_<

  • I had trouble breathing while watching this video

  • Maybe this can help with his foul shots

  • Shaq doesnt have sleep apnea.He just forgot how to breath.Obvious the only thing he could pass in school was a basketball.

  • @j0rdanizraw

    well she is from detroit.

  • damn hoopz is just beautiful.

  • Shaq's Acting @ 1:24

  • @Alosho63592

    yeah you can kinda tell by how his eyes are already on the camera before their open, if he was waking up he wouldn't be staring directly at it

  • @Mr8BitHero1 i taught that was hoopz

  • lol this is pretty sweett

  • 1:08 daaaaaaw :D

  • all i focused on that whole video was that ladies left EYE AHHH!!!!

  • get well shaq!!!!

  • her eyes...

    STARE DEEP INTO MY SOUL

  • a woman will humiliate her man with absolutely no shame.

  • "Cause you ain't got no game"

  • Scranton! what? The electric city!

  • Wowww. Its crazy cuz really could've died

  • Her eyebrows are hideous

  • if u look closely lebron traveled

  • @FBSnipedownFTW haha

  • DATS BAD FOR ANY HUMAN BEING, SHAQ GOT 2 GET ON TOP OF FACTS BUT THEN WE KNOW MAN CAN'T LIVE WITH OUT A FEMALE BUT HOOPZ IS NOT THE LAST FEMALE ON EARTH BRO.

  • Why Hoopz WHY??

  • well at least he can blame his inability to shoot 3 pointers on sleep apnea

  • If i were wit Hoops .. i'd have insomnia.. rather than apnea

  • shaq new wife?

  • does anyone else find pressing 6 amusing? I think I'm just bored :/

  • Shaq's always had a good sense of humor. I like the big fella

  • xDD nice couple

  • I think i have this... At work during lunch when i nap, i wake myself up when i hear myself snore

  • @jcfab he actually married her. I agree with your comment, the guy needs to get saved.

  • My brother has sleep apnea and he is finding it very difficult to find a mask that is comfortable! He's 17 so maybe he's just not used to it but he really doesn't like the mask. The kind of mask he has though goes around his head and he has tubes. Was the kind that they tested Shaq with has tubes? Because if it doesn't I think my brother would find it more comfortable if it just went around his nose!

  • shazaam!!

    

  • THE SHAQ ATTAQ!

  • Did she say even mortality?!

  • My dad does that when he sleeps. Been doing it for as long as i can remember, at least 10 years. Is it really that dangerous?

  • @jonnyjumpsalot yes if he stops breathing for a longer period he could die cuz you know you can't live without air

  • @Mr8BitHero1 u mad?

  • oh man that guys a genius

  • Shaq's bed is smaller than I thought.

  • @Patrickthenerd smaller you must have a large bed because he can fit him his wife and his kids on his bed at the same time

  • @Patrickthenerd thats not his bed lol. he is at a testing clinic. you go there to sleep.

  • 33 people couldnt use the mask

  • everything is good with the relationship...back at the house

  • Can I wear it to tha club?

  • Those eyebrows....

  • Hoopz looks amazing!!!

  • Can i get Closed captioning for Shaq?

  • SHACK, GOOD LUCK WITH THIS. YOU ARE HOT! I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY BALL.

  • my mommy has sleep apnea!!

  • Speaking of mental disorders, apparently Johnny Depp Doesn't Remember Filming the Fourth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Film.

  • keep pressing 6 to make shaq laugh

  • didnt someone say that this condition is incubus....lol

  • Shaq's one funny dude. !

  • my dad has sleep apnea :\

  • @Mr8BitHero1 how do you know they're not good for one another.

  • I've been diagnosed with sleep apnea, and it's hard to live with. The complications are very over whelming at times. Without the proper treatment, it makes it hard to hold a regular job without feeling exhausted the moment you punch-in for the day. Glad to see them make a video shining light on this topic...it's a serious thing.

  • shaq cant throw free throws but he getting them hoops

  • since when is shaq dating hoops??

  • @Grafezzy Since Steven Spielberg made his Star Wars episode 7 film

  • I also have sleep apnea, it's really scary.

  • I got the surgery. You've never breathed so clearly in your LIFE. Crazy to know what you've been missing.

  • @3:35 can i wear this to the club lol

  • @jcfab Not everyone believes in god bubba, you live your life the way your think it should be lived and he'll live his life how he wants. I don't go around telling Christians how to live their lives even though I believe it not to be true. It's annoying as hell when religious people try enforcing their beliefs on others, even if all you mean is well.

  • Uh, for Shaq it's a bit different than most people because he's a tall guy so of course his organs will be strained at older ages, but most people will be around 6 ft so they just have to keep their weight down. Of course, Harvard medical school could care less since they want to make as much money as possible off things that are curable through natural means.

  • My dad works at Harvard, and he saw Shaq there a few weeks ago and got to talk to him for a bit. Didn't think much of it until now. Pretty cool.

  • omg it's too obvious

    30 people have sleep apnea

  • Why does Shaq have sleep apnea?

  • overeating is linked with obesity...

  • 0:50

    was i the only one who didn't get what he said the second time either?

  • @hatebush1234 His personality got her. heh

  • She reminds me of Flava Flav for some reason O_o

  • @tdgamer360 Because she was Hoopz on Flavor of Love.

  • @BackPacksAndFriends Oh Yea now I remember that was Gross.....  :P

  • I love how no one here in the comments is talking about Shaq's problem or sleep apnea but rather hoopz being with Shaq

  • @MSXGamiing

    ... Shaq has sleep apnea?

  • WHAT DUH?!!? LOL HOOPZ AND SHAQ?!

  • @hatebush1234 He Has ALOT OF MONEY thats how

  • Hoopz is NOT Shaq's wife! Supposedly, they are engaged.
