There are a ton of avenues for NBA superstars to invest in. Whether it be team ownership, brand investments, or entertainment, the possibilities are endless. But there are very few stars that carve out their space in an industry as a true trailblazer. Shaquille O’Neal stands as the exception to that rule. Since retirement, his expansion into the world of business has been vast. But one of the more understated of those plans is his dealings in the car wash industry. One of the very few to find footing in the industry, O’Neal is the ideal candidate to emulate. So much so that the Los Angeles Lakers legend isn’t worried about competition as well.
The proud owner of 150 such establishments, Shaq has no genuine reason to worry about someone overtaking him. As a result, the big man was happy to flaunt Charles Oakley, a potential competitor, opening the first of his chain.
Given the history between the two rugged 90s products, a little friendly gesture is extremely heartwarming to see. For the New York Knicks legend, it is an opportunity many have been clamoring for. Despite some controversial takes, Oakley remains one of the most beloved figures of a bygone era.

When not getting banned from Madison Square Garden, Oak Tree has been diverse in its business dealings. Since retiring, his first role was as an assistant coach. However, health issues and back pain led to him stepping down from that role. Since then, businesses have been Oakley’s primary focus.
The first of those was a foray into the fashion industry. 2 enterprises, Hair Solutions, and Nails EtCetera made their way into existence as a result. The biggest, however, has been Red, The Steakhouse in Cleveland, Ohio, and Miami, Florida.
