However, after his NBA career as a player, he has gone on to achieve even more by diversifying his palette. For this, he has invested in various companies and has become an ambassador of various brands. Alongside this, he is also an NBA analyst on NBA on TNT. But since this is not enough for the NBA Star, he is very well known for his off-the-court antics as he DJs and makes cameos in funny movies.
Shaq is one of the tallest and heaviest NBA players. Being over 7 feet tall, Shaq has unusually large feet. However, NBA fans are extremely shocked to know his shoe size as players, even taller than him, do not have a shoe size as big as him.
