‘Shaq Wes’: Shaquille O’Neal leaves Sheck Wes, Nischelle Turner and other celebs in complete disbelief with his crowd control skills at massive concert


Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest players to ever play basketball. He was a 7-foot-1, 325-pound center who overpowered and dominated most of the competition in his prime. Shaq was a truly unique player and he enjoyed his life off the pitch as well. O’Neal released several studio rap albums in the 1990s, but has veered into a career as a DJ in recent years.

Since retiring as a player, Shaq has not disappeared from the eyes of NBA fans. He continues to be an analyst on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” TV show.
