Shaquille O’Neal thrives in high-pressure situations, as can be proved by his 4 NBA championships and 3 MVP crowns. And it is reasonable to assume that this will be another event at which his alter ego DJ Diesel will enchant the spectators.
Shaq has said that he is all about the base music, the culture, and these shows. It’s worth noting that if his DJing career is even remotely comparable to his NBA career, he’ll be hailed as a legendary DJ.
