Shaquille O’Neal is a famous NBA player who goes by many names, but the best adjective to describe him is “big”. Shaquille O’Neal used to dominate other prominent athletes with his size for the majority of his career. 

Cam Newton, a former quarterback in the NFL, went on Shaq’s YouTube show, aptly named The Big Podcast with Shaq. At the end of the show, Shaq was asked what he thought about the question “Can Single Parents Go on a Vacation?” 

Shaq responded profoundly to this concern. He was asked “Dr O’Neal what’s your advice for a woman who has raised all of her children as a single parent? And now that they’re older I’m ready to travel and explore the world should I go I need advice.”

Right after hearing the question, Shaq responded directly with a Yes. 

He said, “The answer is yes. I commend you for doing a beautiful job. For doing both jobs. I know a lot of women do that. And uh hopefully your children are healthy. And and okay but yes reward yourself.”

Shaquille is a huge proponent of hard work and his record in basketball shows it.

“You know, there’s an old saying: never forget where you come from,” O’Neal said. “And my professional career started here. I’ve been living here mostly all my life. The fans have been hospitable. The people have been very, very hospitable. I never thought this day would happen.”

The Magic picked O’Neal with the first pick in the 1992 draft. They have never taken away a player’s number before but thought this would be a good time to do it during their anniversary period.

The Los Angeles Lakers retired Shaq’s No. 34 shirt, and the Miami Heat retired his No. 32 jersey. He became the third player, after Wilt Chamberlain and Pete Maravich, who had his jersey retired via three different teams.
