Shaquille O’Neal’s car collection is mind-boggling. The 4x NBA champion who periodically invests in MNCs and films has built an incredible fleet over the years. From Rolls-Royce to Lamborghinis and Land Rover, Shaq has got it all under his roof.  

More recently, Shaq was seen awing over a custom-made convertible. This 1996 Lincoln belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks’ MVP, Jrue Holiday. The make of the convertible managed to impress the big boy.

Shaq’s love for customized cars is no secret. The NBA star takes a lot of pleasure in customizing his cars. If the 7-foot NBA giant isn’t comfortable with his wheels, he changes them.

For instance, Shaq modified his Ferrari 355 FI Spider by removing the roof and fitting a new gas tank in the front for extra legroom.

This “forever convertible” is just one example of the many cars that Shaq has improved upon and added to his glorious collection.

Speaking of rare, the former NBA player customized an ordinary Chevrolet Express G1500 into a one-of-a-kind car. He redid the car’s interior with quilted leather designed by the fashion mogul brand, Louis Vuitton.

But that’s not all.

Within the car, he installed a 100-inch HD film projector and an Xbox.

Who wouldn’t want that?
