Shaquille O’Neal was one of the biggest players to play in the NBA. In his prime, he was unstoppable and was the most dominant force in the league. But as he passed his prime, Shaq gave less importance to his weight.

After his retirement, his weight ballooned to an excess of 400 pounds and Shaq did not like that. He has since transformed himself and has lost a lot of weight. He looks ripped and now he has made a bold claim that his transformation will amaze fans.

2020 was a tough year for the world. We lost millions and countless other people were affected by that. One of them was Shaq. He suffered from several tragedies and personal losses and he gave up his fitness goals. But when he saw a 70-year-old with a full body of muscles, Shaq got back on his track. And now he says he will go topless for a show in Las Vegas.
