Besides the basketball world, we have seen him rap, perform in numerous roles, and host a show that has drawn a lot of attention. Now that he is a well-known businessman and NBA analyst, he never misses an opportunity to act in flicks.

Bet 100,000. So he punk’s me the next day. I was so pissed, I was like I’mma kill him. But then when I saw he was married to you, I let him go.” Shaq continued: “He’s a good guy, give him a hug and a kiss from me.”
