So, Shaquille O'Neal stole a TMZ photog yesterday ... right off the street ... and it was hilarious. The "hostage", Adam -- was shooting Shaq out in NYC when the former NBA star decided he was just gonna take him ... as payback for TMZ's Harvey Levin not answering his call last week. A few things we learned about Shaq during the crisis: He loves Maury Povich (and bets with his friends on the "Who's the Daddy" segments), he's a huge "Ray Donovan" fan, and he actually uses Icy Hot in real life. As for Adam ... no word if Shaq ever let him go.
