He said,” Have you ever heard what Shaq does with his cars?. He like, takes out the back seats. I’ve seen like custom cars they’ve made for him. Like the seat basically sits where the back seat should be. Because he’s so big…”

The Basketball icon Shaquille O’Neal is a staggering 7 feet 1 inch in height and weighs in at 147 kilos. Most commercial cars are not comfortable for a man of his build, which is why he customizes his interiors.
