A young Shaquille O’Neal can be seen responding to Karl Malone in a resurfaced video. Karl Malone made a remark that he wasn’t impressed with Shaq. When asked if this bothers him, O’Neal prophesied, “Not at all, I’m gonna be the man one day”.

O’Neal was asked whether he has faced any intimidation from veterans in the league. Shaq stated, “When I get mad, I just get more dominant” comparing himself to other players that are taken out of the game when they get angry.

Shaq, also known as, the Big Diesel, eventually played together with Karl Malone in the Lakers in 2003. However, Shaq ended his career with 4 rings, Malone had none. Karl Malone, himself a two-time league MVP, would probably not make that statement now.

Additionally, he averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 blocks in his illustrious career. Moreover, he has made an All-Star appearance 15 times in his 19 seasons.

What is Shaquille O’Neal up to now?

Shaquille O’Neal goes by many names, Diesel, Dr. Shaq, The Big Daddy, but the one he takes to heart is, Superman. Like Superman, Shaq believes in helping people who are in need. Reportedly, his philanthropic endeavors include buying a man’s engagement ring and donating $35,000 for employee relief to an Atlanta restaurant.

The ‘Diesel’ is not only an NBA analyst but also a part-time DJ and a part-time police officer in Florida. Shaq was also an attraction at last year’s Formula One, US Grand Prix. He even played his DJ set after giving away the trophy to the current champion, Max Verstappen. Notably, Shaq is currently venturing into the NFT space as well. He recently spoke to GaryVee regarding his ‘SHAQ GIVES BACK Charity NFT Collection’.
