“Only time I wanted to be small is when I walk by and see these guys in little sports cars… like the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. So I was this idiot that would buy the sports car knowing I can’t fit and then having to pay extra… to make it fit.” Shaquille O’Neal once explained the issue of fitting in expensive cars, but now that’s not a problem. For quite some time, his latest vehicles already come with those adjustments that connect with LeBron James’ history.

A lot of people don’t understand why I say thank you LeBron. One I love the brother, greatest friend ever.” While checking his latest Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Shaquille O’Neal spoke about the incident involving the Lakers superstar. Ahmad here had a little young kid secretary that they built the car and the kid thought it would be a great idea to say ‘Hey let’s say LeBron bought the car. You know they are in LA.”

The Lakers legend talked about the owner of Effortless Motors, who has now collaborated with the Lakers legend multiple times. It started when the Automotive dealership in Riverside posted about LeBron James purchasing vehicles from them. But the highest point scorer in the league’s history clarified on social media. “Stop the 🧢!! LIARS!! I don’t know y’all and I don’t even have that car. CLOUT CHASERS.

That was enough for Shaquille O’Neal to contact the dealership, where he learned the owner’s true intentions. ‘I love the Lakers, I love LeBron, I don’t want to have any problems.’ I was like, ‘I understand.’ Since June, when LeBron James called the dealership, Shaq has worked with them multiple times and secured multiple whips.

The 4x NBA Champion Shaquille O’Neal already has 4 cars from Effortless

After his first purchase of the Cybertruck, the Lakers’ legend was pretty content about his shopping spree. “Can’t buy another car, can’t buy another boat, can’t buy no more jewelry, can’t buy no more cars, even though I just bought a new Tesla. I can’t. I’m done.” But that didn’t last long, as he was missing his Tesla since the first one was apparently in Las Vegas.

So, Effortless Motors went above and beyond to create a custom all-black makeover with a wide body kit and carbon fiber construction. It has wide carbon fenders, 26″ Forgiato Wheels, a gloss black wrap to match the all-black interiors, and the driver seat is moved back 8″. But that was not it. The third Cybertruck was a full 360, 1 of 100 Waido Live Body Cybertruck, once again custom-built.

Apart from 3 of Elon Musk’s creations, Shaquille O’Neal also added a Mercedes to the mix. “Another one, man. First class made back edition Mercedes Benz Sprinter just for Shaq.” Effortless Motors spoke about the latest addition to Shaq’s garage. So, that’s why he is thanking LeBron James because one misunderstanding led to 4 new cars for DJ Diesel.
