Even though he’s an all-time great in multiple sectors, the biggest attribute in the Shaquille O’Neal arsenal is his personality. Whether it be basketball or the market, the 51-year-old has been dominant everywhere. However, it’s his attitude, his charm, and his always hilarious antics that make him such a people’s favorite. Those qualities were on full display in a hilarious gag by the Los Angeles Lakers legend. At a kid’s complete ‘disrespect’ to the 7-footer, his reaction stole the show.

The former Miami Heat star has had to travel a long road on his journey to getting into better shape. Along the way, his commitment and dedication have made the entire process successful. But what’s been equally impressive is his ability to turn his own ‘weakness’ into a joke.

That trait was on full display as he came in at the Boys And Girls Club. Located in Wisconsin, the club saw the appearance of Diesel. However, never one to miss an opportunity, O’Neal was at his hilarious best. As he tried to pick up a plate of food containing a pizza slice and Doritos, a young boy rushed in.

Smacking the plate right out of Shaq’s hands, he yelled, “Man, put that pizza down, fat boy!” As the 4x NBA Champion looked on in shock, he turned to the camera with a pinpoint expression. Recording the entire proceeding was his good friend and ‘retired DJ’ Ro Parrish.

The 351-pounder would eventually share the entire clip on his IG story as well. An appearance at the facility, however, wasn’t shocking in the slightest. Even though mighty successful now, that wasn’t always the case for the?Big Aristotle. During his growing-up days, it was the Boys and Girls Club in Newark, New Jersey that kept him on the right track. As a result, Shaq even gave a million dollars to the group as a donation.

During his time in the NBA, the whispers began to grow louder. The biggest cause of concern and reason for his downfall was his increasing weight. While he was always a big fellow, Shaquille O’Neal eclipsed the 400-pound mark after retirement.

So far, he’s already made humongous strides and is at 351 pounds. As he continues to turn back time and get closer to his ideal weight, it has been a beautiful journey for the icon.
