Before Turning Into a Menace on Court, Shaquille O’Neal Was Bullied by a Girl Called Monica and 15000 People Couldn’t Believe Their Ears

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is arguably the most dominant force in the history of the NBA. He used to intimidate and bully opponents just by his massive frame and size. But unfortunately, Shaq used to get bullied when he was a kid. Not by an adult or an older male, but by a girl called ‘Monica’ and Shaq was terrified of her. And 15000 people could not believe what they had just heard.

When Shaq grew into his massive size, not a lot of people wanted to mess with him. In fact, Shaq had admitted that he used to beat people up and that he was a bully. But after a couple of serious incidents and getting disciplined by his parents, Shaq toned it down.

But before he grew into his massive frame, he used to get picked on by one girl.

Shaquille O’Neal used to give his cupcakes to Monica

Shaq was talking about how he used to get bullied and how he later turned into a bully. And then he opened up about who used to bully him. He says,” Girls… I think there is one right there, is that you Monica? No, that’s not Monica.”

“I had this girl Monica she used to beat me up all the time… Give me those cupcakes, here Monica. True Story, Don’t tell anybody… Monica would beat my b**t every day.”

No guy used to dare bully Shaq, as they knew the consequences they faced. But there was this one girl who did not care about his size and frame and would take his cupcakes.

After he toned down being a bully in real life, Shaq became a monster on the court. He dominated in college at LSU and was drafted number one overall. And then he hit another level as he started reaching his prime.

There was no answer for Shaq in the NBA. Put a double or triple team on him, and he would still find a way to score. Many players would be petrified of having to guard Shaq and wouldn’t have wanted to end up in one of his posters. But if they had one person who bullied Shaq, teams may have had a chance against him.
