Shaquille O’Neal is no regular person. Although he claims to be one of the ‘normal’ people, his size says otherwise. A towering presence, Shaq is 7-foot 1 inch and weighs almost 325 pounds. His physique alone stands him out from the rest but it’s the everyday items he uses that makes him so different.
The big man must have a completely customized home that fits him perfectly. With him being able to gulp down two Krispy Kreme donuts in one single bite there has to be a modification to everything Shaq desires. From his doors to his vehicles, the big man has modified almost everything to his liking, and some are just mind-blowing.

It’s been made very clear before – Shaq does what he desires and there is hardly anyone to stop him.

Although a frightening sight with motorcycles having almost little to no safety, Shaq is not a novice rider. Back in 2014 Big Diesel placed an order for a 14-foot bike for himself. On an episode of Orange County Choppers on Discovery, a show about a custom-made bike manufacturer, the Big man approached Paul Tetul Sr., the owner of the shop, for a custom-made bike.
An episode starring the bike was aired in December of 2014. The Chopper, which was custom built for Shaq. It was made to his size and aligned in a manner that suited his arthritic back. The 14-foot-long bike was an absolute monster and rightly named ‘The Man of Steel’.

Shaq the Daredevil
This wasn’t the first time that the Los Angeles Lakers star did something reckless. When not sliding into other people’s DMs, Shaq is usually up to various off-court adventures. In 2016, another video emerged on YouTube of Shaq riding a motorcycle with no helmet on and recording himself to Jay-Z’s ‘No Church in the Wild’. And what better way to prove his thrill for danger than when he took part in an episode of Man Vs Wild with Bear Grylls. An absolute daredevil.
