From the NBA world to business, Shaquille O’Neal has been a powerful giant. The Big Diesel is the most dominant force to enter the league. Unsurprisingly, he came in as the number one pick and the havoc started right away.

However, carrying around such a huge frame takes a toll on the body. And Shaq’s feet suffered the most. With an entire buzz around his feet, his eldest son, Myles, caught Shaq without shoes. And it was a nightmare sight. While the Lakers legend is one of the best players of all time, he started to lose his work ethic with success coming in.

During the third title run with the purple and gold, Shaq weighed nearly 400 pounds. His feet are the base of carrying around the 7’1″ giant. Likewise, they suffered a lot. He first gave a glimpse of his feet on TNT which made fans sick. Even pedicure couldn’t heal the damage caused to the Big Aristotle’s size 22 feet.

Shaquille O’Neal has his feet out again

The Big Diesel made a huge name for himself through his unstoppable and ruthless basketball. However, his feet have a trend of their own. Ever since his damaged feet came on the internet, the fans couldn’t believe their eyes. The wear and tear seemed to be too much. However, that hasn’t stopped the Big Diesel from putting his toes on display. This time, it was Myles’ turn to show the world how the Big Diesel takes care of them.

He caught his father without shoes on their jet ride, and Myles couldn’t take it alone. He took it to social media to expose Shaq, rubbing lotion on his feet. However, what’s the reason his feet became such a mess?

From a young age, O’Neal was a freak of nature. The Lakers legend was quick and agile, carrying around a heavy 7-foot frame. Likewise, the toll was most on his feet. With his feet under constant heat and pressure, they slowly took a turn for the worse. The Big Diesel has suffered multiple toe injuries over the years. He even had to get his bone spurs removed at one point.

While his body is the critical reason for his feet, basketball shoes also affect the players’ toes. Even LeBron James, who is one of the fittest players of all time, suffers damage to his toes due to the shoes. Hence, the blame doesn’t fall on Shaq. However, he needs to do a better job of keeping those babies nice and covered.
