Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal is as confident as they come. His success in different avenues came largely due to his belief in himself. And this is often what separates a good player from a great one. Kobe Bryant called it Mamba Mentality. But the essence is to know “I’m him”. In his retired life, Big Diesel often finds ways to inspire this feeling in his fans. Often, it’s by sharing moments of learning on his social media. And recently he did just that.

MLB & NFL legend Deion Sanders shared some words of wisdom in his latest interview. It would appear that Shaq agreed with Coach Prime‘s philosophy.

Deion Sanders’ interview reaches the ears of Shaquille O’Neal

56-year-old Football legend Deion Sanders recently took to Instagram to share a post with his 3.4 Million followers. It highlighted a moment of the 2-time Superbowl winner’s recent appearance on ‘The Pregame Show’. During the same, Sanders talked about how he “never had a bad day”. He may have had a bad moment, a bad hour, or a bad situation but never a whole day that could be called bad. Coach attributed this to the control he holds in his life.

“I have the propensity to make it to what I want to make it and I’m gonna turn it to where I want to turn,” said Sanders during a segment of the clip.

Getting up from his seat and approaching the audience, the former Dallas Cowboys player described the “energy” he keeps maintaining in order to move, walk and talk in a manner that helps to bring the same type of “energy” in others.

Sanders would go on to talk about how the only people he has a problem with are those that allow their confidence “to offend their insecurity.”
