Shaquille O’Neal, the legendary Lakers center, is a multi-millionaire who usually gets what he wants. Having made some astute business investments and many endorsement deals he has, Shaq can afford anything he wants. But according to a recent video, it looks like even Shaq doesn’t get what he wants.

In a recent video, we can see Shaq trying to enter a Tesla, but because of his seven-foot frame, he is not comfortable when he finally sits in the car. When he finally gets into the car, he seems out of breath and leaves a message for Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla. Shaq says” Tesla, Elon, you wanna make a big boy Tesla?”.

Shaq – The big-bodied center who dominated everybody

Shaq during his playing days was a never-seen-before force. He paired his seven-foot frame with an agility that could put forwards to shame. He used his physicality to good use and when once in low post he would physically dominate his defender before usually dunking on them. What also was unique about Shaq was that he was injury-free for the most part of his career.

Shaq was always the biggest body on the court. And always used this to his and his team’s advantage. He was a perennial All-Star and won the MVP and the scoring title in the 1999-2000 season.

Why Shaquille O’Neal is a gentle giant

Even though size may make him a bit intimidating, Shaq is one of the nicest human beings. He always tries to help the needy when possible and there have been multiple instances where Shaq bought something for someone and giving them a surprise. Shaq also has an affordable sneaker line that specifically targets people who can’t afford to spend much on shoes.

Shaq is probably not the only person who thinks Tesla’s all around the world could use a size upgrade. And it will be beneficial for all if his friendly request to Elon Musk makes him make a bigger car for people like Shaq to use. It will be a win-win for all the people involved.
