Over the years, Shaquille O’Neal, unfortunately, developed the stigma of not taking care of his body as much as some of his peers. Many fans still wonder what the Los Angeles Lakers legend’s career would have been like if he had focused on maintaining his health and fitness. However, fast forward to today, and after an arduous transformation, the Hall of Famer, who was the butt of the joke for a long time for his unhealthy habits, is garnering praise from fans worldwide. 

Amid a shocking transformation, the Big Diesel recently took to his social media to share a stunning clip of himself with some fresh outfits. But this time round, the NBA world showered him with praises for the impressive weight loss.

Many fans consider Shaquille O’Neal to be one of the greatest centers of all time. Rightfully so, the once 340-pound 7’1″ freak of nature dominated the NBA like no one before. However, the same monstrous frame also limited his ability in the long run. After retirement, O’Neal almost suffered major consequences before taking control of his health and embarking on an arduous journey to fitness. 

Fast forward to today, the Big Fella is reaping the benefits of his efforts. O’Neal recently unleashed a hilarious clip on of him showing off his improved physique on social media. In the video shared to his 28.7 million followers on Instagram, the 4x NBA champion can be seen vibing to a hip-hop classic by Nate Dogg on a suit. He captioned the post, “dat boy smooove edited by @victoriamcbryde”.
