Apart from dominating the basketball floor, NBA legend Shaquille O?Neal?has also proven to have exceptional entrepreneurial talent off the court. Shaq has entered several commercial ventures with an astounding net worth of $400 million, displaying his wide variety of interests and astute business acumen. O’Neal’s entrepreneurial adventure started to take form during his career in the league. Shaq entered into multiple endorsement agreements and partnerships with prominent corporations, banking on his notoriety and allure, realizing the potential for developing his personal brand. He was a desirable figure for marketers in a variety of industries, from fast-food franchises to sports gear, thanks to his outsized personality and charisma. However, not all of these ventures were successful.

O’Neal recently reiterated one of his staunch convictions in the WNBA after his failed attempt to save a company from its precarious situation.

Shaquille O’Neal has a suggestion for the WNBA

Shaquille O’Neal is well known for speaking his mind without fear, even when some may consider it ludicrous. Shaq’s penchant for making outrageous claims is widely known, and his outspoken beliefs have drawn praise as well as criticism. His famous stature in and outside of basketball is a result of his unrestrained and outlandish nature. His comments undoubtedly stimulate discussions and arguments, adding to the continued excitement surrounding the sport, even though some may consider them to be excessive or unrealistic.

Shaquille O’Neal has had a pretty adamant idea regarding the rim of a basketball hoop when it comes to WNBA. And it seems like he doesn’t plan to let it go anytime soon. He took to Instagram to share and reaffirm his idea.

Shaquille O’Neal shared a reel on his story.

In this reel, Shaq said, “I have a solution for the WNBA. I dont know if you know, in males beach volleyball and women’s beach volleyball, the net is lowered just a little bit. So the only thing missing from WNBA to the NBA is the dunk. “

He believes that lowering the rim will make it easier for WNBA players to dunk. As a result, it can make the game more exciting.

He continued,” Because look, they got the handles, they go the shooter. They got the showmanship. They just don’t have the dunk.”

However, this wasn’t his first idea for the WNBA. He had once started a company with a WNBA legend.

Shaq fails to save a company

Shaquille O’Neal, along with WNBA legend, DeLisha Milton, and Mike Piazza, created the Santa Monica-based firm Dunk.net with the ambitious goal of transforming the internet sports market. By delivering unique merchandise, interactive experiences, and engaging content, the company wanted to give fans a special platform to interact with their favorite players. The company initially attracted attention and received large investments owing to the status and competence of its founders. Dunk.net had a promising beginning thanks to the support of industry titans.

Unfortunately, Dunk.net’s launch coincided with the early 2000s dot-com bubble burst. This had a detrimental impact on many firms, including Dunk.net. Investments fell off once the speculative bubble burst, creating an untenable financial environment. Despite Shaq’s substantial net worth, the business’ financial stability started to deteriorate. It eventually led to a string of setbacks that were challenging to get through. Dunk.net became more and more financially unstable. The company eventually had to make the difficult choice to fire everyone. There were attempts to restart the business, including changing the CEO to a marketer, but all failed. The eventual acquisition of Dunk.net by a domain squatter hastened the company’s downfall.
