The DJ Diesel world tour is ongoing in full force. Whether it be Tomorrowland, the Lost Lands, or even China now, Shaquille O’Neal continues to thrive in the industry. But, it’s not always fun and games. Sometimes, the daredevil inside Shaq comes out swinging and makes an unbridled appearance. As a result, the ordeal can turn scary for the live crowd taking in his music.
Even now, in an escape to China, where Shaq has been less unruly, the partying still thrives.

As part of his ongoing visit to China in lieu of the Asian Games, O’Neal is taking over many responsibilities. Among them, a gig as DJ Diesel is also part of the festivities. The first performance from the Los Angeles Lakers legend took place last night. Bringing his talents to Macao, the big man was ready to bring his fondness for mosh pits to the forefront.
The people inside Wynn Palace were understandably wary. After all, the 7-footer’s fascination with the mosh pit is no surprise.
In June of this year, Shaq’s exploits at Bonnaroo became the subject of speculation. Due to a lack of an adequate number of moshpits, the 4-time NBA Champion was ready to join the crowd on his own. “I’m coming out there,”?declared the 2000 NBA MVP.
Further, he invited people on stage as well, a tradition he brought to Macao with him.
Even though the dangers in his exploits are a common by-product with him, his law-abiding nature in a foreign land did bring some optimism about a changed Shaquille O’Neal.

Shaquille O’Neal’s good behavior
Earlier in the day, during a trip to Hangzhou, the host city for the Asian Games, a picture of the big man riding a scooter went viral.
Perhaps, more shocking was the use of a helmet over the ensemble. A far cry from the daredevil he tends to be, it seems like the former Miami Heat Champion has turned a new corner.

Whether that retains or not remains a mystery. But, perhaps, the mosh pit is the one act of daredevilry the legend can indulge in.
