Shaq said, “He told me one time because when I first got there, I was 17. I couldn’t go to the club. So my job as a rookie was to stay outside the club, Washington boys get drunk and then drive back. He went to the club and had a good time. And you know, that’s like the only time he talked to me. I loved it.”

Although Shaq might have not partied during his high school, he compensated for it after his retirement from the NBA. He hosts one of the biggest parties during the year, which is open to the public.
