Shaquille O’Neal is a trademark of world basketball. His irruption, in fact, revolutionized the NBA. The size of the star, who emerged in the Orlando Magic and soon became an icon of the main basketball competition worldwide, made him a nightmare for opposing defenses and, also, for the boards. Several of them, in fact, suffered the consequences of supporting your size. There is, in fact, a statistic: he destroyed more than 20 products from his dunks, precisely one of the actions that made him a cult character.
Shaq is unmistakable. Reasons abound. For his game, for his 2.16 meter height and for the 145 kilos he weighs. Also because he wears 57 and his shoes were in the windows of the stores where the brand that sponsored him sold them. Or because he won five NBA rings (four with the Los Angeles Lakers and one with the Miami Heats), an Olympic gold medal in Atlanta 1996 with the Dream Team and a world championship two years earlier. It is, also, because he became a television commentator and his figure even appears in video games in both of his roles.
The Diesel is also close. A sample of that condition is the one that he ends up becoming in one of the best anecdotes that he has starred in his life.
The emblematic player was distributing pizzas to a group of children when he received a question that can be classified as unusual, due to the magnitude of his figure worldwide, and even as a dagger to the self-esteem of a figure who, literally, was over the world. .
“Excuse me. Are you Michael Jordan?” asks one of the children when he sees him. “No, I’m better than Michael Jordan, my name is Shaq O’Neal and I’m giving away free pizza,” replies the mythical post.
The scene is completed by the incredulous intervention of a grandmother, who also got an answer from O’Neal. “So you’re not Michael Jordan?” asked the old woman. “No, I’m much better than Jordan,” replied the now multifaceted Shaq, who has also dabbled as an actor, rapper and businessman.
The last facet is, in fact, the one that explains the intervention. O’Neal is one of the owners of the Papa John’s brand, whose presence spans the globe. In addition, he is one of the athletes who has best invested his million-dollar earnings. It is estimated that his assets reach US $ 400 million, which, in addition to the millionaire income that comes from his glorious time on the floor, is due to the wise decisions he made when he stopped playing.
