Among the NBA royalty, Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most active presences in social media. While on Instagram, the Diesel never fails to note interesting updates from the world around him. These may not necessarily revolve around basketball. Living by the mindset of an ace entrepreneur, the 4x-NBA champion has recently acknowledged a motivational video meant for the ones that are craving for success.

On one of his recent Instagram stories, Shaquille O’Neal has shared a video posted by the handle ‘hustlersnthehood.’ In the video, the presenter could be seen letting out some supposedly motivational words. “It’s 80% mindset, 20% skill set. Right mindset, you can master any skill set. If you can teach young men right, how to develop the mind of a man because a man is his mind. Your ability to take ideas out from your mind and bring them into reality. That’s how I know you’re a real man. Otherwise I can’t tell your mind working at all. You just chasing women against some dollars. That’s low level activity,” the presenter said in the video.

Shaquille O’Neal showed that he can relate to the aforementioned thought. Shaq’s gesture, however, does not come as a surprise as he once claimed that women can damage NBA teams.

Earlier in 1996, Dallas Mavericks saw the rise of an iconic duo in Jimmy Jackson and Jason Kidd. Soon, however, the chemistry between the then teammates would become worse. As the rumor goes, their relationship got bitter after the singer Toni Braxton gave up on her plans with Kidd to hangout with Jackson. Since this rumor is a hot topic in the hoops world, Shaquille O’Neal later commented on the saga in his autobiography: Shaq talks back. “Women can tear NBA teams apart,” O’Neal wrote, commenting on the Mavs stars’ split-up.
