Shaquille O’Neal is a former professional basketballer who played for half a dozen teams and won four championships in the National Basketball Association (NBA) during his 19-year career. He is regarded as one of the best basketball players in the sport's history.
During his time in the NBA, O’Neal developed a reputation for shattering backboards and breaking rims which was something nothing had ever done before. At 7’1’’ and 300-pound player, he was one of the most unguardable players as he was physically dominant over just about everyone over the nearly two decades of his career.
He would score more than 28,000 career points win 15 All-Star selections, an MVP award in addition to his four championship medals that secured his position as one of the most influential big men ever in basketball.
Shaquille O’Neal would also venture into entertainment, entrepreneurship, and music after his retirement which only made him even more famous.
In 1995, he made his musical debut with Shaq Diesel, his debut album which won over fans and went platinum even though it was lambasted by critics. He has also worked with Michael Jackson, “The King of Pop” on the album
HIStory where he rapped on the song
2 Bad.
On the business front, he is a very successful businessman with outright ownership or a stake in at least 50 brands across a wide range of industries, including 150 car washes and more than 172 restaurants. While it has been decades since he retired, he still endorses at least 30 brands.
In 1993, Shaquille O’Neal published his first work
Shaq Attaq!: My Rookie Year.
The novel offers some insights into his first season in the NBA, including how it felt to be constantly triple and double-teamed and his feelings about the professional game of basketball.
O’Neal next wrote
Little Shaq Takes a Chance, a children's fiction novel that is all about the values of entrepreneurship, sharing, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and the benefits of hard work inspired by the real-life experiences of O’Neal’s childhood growing up in Newark.
