Shaquille O’Neal shared a glimpse of his ‘wall of achievements’

Long before hanging up his NBA jersey and taking up the job of an analyst, Shaquille O’Neal was establishing himself in the league by winning championships after championships. Soon enough, he came to be known as a 4x NBA champion, 3x Finals MVP, and the 2000 NBA MVP. Recently, the Lakers icon posted a video where he showed fans a portrait of himself holding a cigar in one hand and wearing his four championship rings in the other.

The portrait was hung on the wall above a table where the Larry O’Brien trophies were kept on display. The camera then pans toward the mirror clock on the opposite wall, where Shaq showed off his ripped physique wearing just a pair of pants. O’Neal posted the clip just days after he underwent hip surgery.
