NBA legend and Hall of Famer, Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most successful players of all time, who has flourished both on and off the court. He has made a fortune from playing in the NBA and through different brand endorsements. One of the perks of being a famous celebrity with global outreach is that you have to keep your impulses in control and uphold a certain moral standard. The 7ft 1″ NBA legend recently disclosed that he keeps his violent urges under control so that he doesn’t get into any trouble at home.

Shaq has often talked about the role of his parents’ stringent parenting techniques in his success. The four-time NBA champion once again revealed how the fear of his mother keeps him away from any trouble.

Shaquille O’Neal reveals how he keeps his violent urges under control

In the latest episode of?The Pat McAfee Show, McAfee pointed out that Shaq is not only a notable person but also someone with a spectacular stature. He then asked Shaq whether he has just accepted the fact that he’ll have no privacy wherever he goes. The question was prompted by the discussion surrounding former NFL player Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones having to punch a man for being disrespectful to Shaq at the airport.

The four-time champion responded by saying, “Yea it kind of goes with the stigma of being a professional athlete aka celebrity. But you know I am always trying to represent the youth, represent myself, represent my family. So most of the times I know how to do and say the right thing and stay out of trouble.”

Following this, the former Los Angeles Lakers player opened up about his violent urges. The 3x Final MVP said, “I’ve always had the ability to stop time and say okay, if I punch this dude in his face it’ll probably go viral, my mom’s not gonna like this.”

Shaq knows that there is a high chance of quickly getting viral if he ever tries to punch someone or do something similar like that as he is a celebrity. Therefore, if he goes viral, it will surely give him a lot of trouble with his very strict mother, Lucille O’Neal. Considering all these doensides, the Big Diesel keeps his violent urges in check.

During the show, Shaq showered adulations on the former Green Bay Packers player and one-time Super Bowl winner AJ Hawk, who is also the co-host of the talk show. Hawk asked him if 11-time championship-winning coach Phil Jackson was what he expected during their time working together with the Lakers. The 3x Finals MVP gave an answer that perhaps none expected. He asked Hawk, “Are you a supermodel? Cause you have the sexiest jawline I’ve seen.”?
