I consider myself hard when I played on a basketball court I was hard I like the hard drops I like the kids that bang their heads on rough I like mosh pits and the coolest part about his DJ career is that he does it all for free that's right it's truly just a hobby for him but make no mistake Shaq is no dummy when it comes to getting paid because he isn't doing all those commercials for free and

Burger King Pepsi Wheaties Lyft Radio Shack Epson printer age of beard Nintendo DS Tomodachi Life the list goes on and on as Shaq has endorsed well over 100 brands in his life but the one I think of first is icy hot and the reason behind it is pretty funny I had a thigh bruise and the Lakers trainer put some Icy Hot on my thighs and I was having a great game game but my boys were starting to get real hot and then I'm running and they're getting too hot I had to call a timeout and tell the trainer hey man my balls are on fire after that incident Shaq got in touch with Icy Hot and things took off from there they worked out a sweet deal where Shaq not only started their commercials but also became a part owner of the company but that's not the first time Shaq liked the product so much he became an owner of the company in fact he's done this over 50 times he's a partial owner of a 155 Five Guys burger restaurants 17 Annie Anne's pretzel restaurants 150 car washes 40 24-hour fitness centers a shopping center a movie theater and several Las Vegas nightclubs but his relationship with the general insurance is the closest to his heart you see back in 1989 Shaq was broke he spent all of his money on a 1 500 used Bronco but couldn't drive off the lot until he had Insurance Shaq went to every major insurer but he couldn't afford them until he came across a little building that said the general who gave him quality insurance at an affordable price he was a customer from that day until nearly 30 years later where he became a brand ambassador and part owner of the company but he didn't stop at endorsing Brands he even made his own products ever heard of soda Shack teaming up with Arizona beverages Shaq would launch his own line of low-calorie all-natural cream soda called soda Shack releasing four flavors vanilla blueberry strawberry and orange sporting a low cost as most Arizona brand drinks do and featuring a cut out of Shaq's face many were excited for their release but some were critical the soda came in a 23.5 ounce can on the nutritional facts label it revealed that each can has three servings and it is sweetened with cane sugar with 90 calories per serving that meant that each can contained a total of 270 calories and packed a whopping 72 grams of sugar even through all the criticisms seven years after being discontinued soda Shack still has many fans hoping for a return but this wasn't even his first sugary treat Mr big was the name of his 1995 candy bar the standard bar is made of a layered vanilla wafer coated in Caramel peanut nuts and rice crisps while being smothered in a chocolate coating the bar is the length of two standard size bars around eight inches long which is also the same size as Shacks did you know he also made his own video game Shaq Foo is a 2d fighting game similar to early Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter games starring Shaq as the main character published by EA and released to gaming system such as the Sega Genesis and Super NES on October 28 1994. the plot of the game is that Shaq walks into a dojo while heading to a charity basketball game in Japan after speaking to a martial arts master Shack goes to another dimension where he must rescue a young boy named nezu from an evil mummy if you don't think this is very interesting a lot of people would agree with you Shaq Fu in recent years has been regarded as one of the worst video games of all time by many game critics Nintendo Power had 12 staff members vote in a list for the 10 worst games of all time which place Shaq Fu at the third worst place on their list yet still the game got a reboot in 2018 for PlayStation 4. Shaq Foo a legend reborn which was actually received very well by The Gaming Community the beautiful graphics and cut scenes had us convinced that Shaq could actually beat people up in real life oh wait he can he proved that to us with multiple appearances in the ring Shaq has always been a huge fan of professional wrestling and he's had some epic moments in the ring across different promotions back in 1994 he made an appearance on world championship wrestling where he presented the title belt to the winner of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship between Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair then in 2009 he took on the role of guest host for WWE's Monday Night Raw in which he would find himself getting into a scuffle with the legendary wrestler The Big Show creating a feud that lasted for almost a year but he wasn't done there in 2016 he surprised Everyone by participating in his first legitimate match he entered as a celebrity competitor in the Battle Royale at Wrestlemania 32 eliminating Damien Sando and had another confrontation with Big Show before being eliminated himself and most recently for the promotion a ew in 2021 Shaq teamed up with Jade Cargill to take on Cody Rhodes and red velvet during the match things got crazy when Cody Rhodes took him out with a flying crossbody sending Shaq crashing through two tables ringside Shaq's acting was so good he could have fooled us into thinking he was a full-time wrestler oh and speaking of acting O'Neill has spent some time on the big screen as well his first major film role was in the movie Kazam where he played a 5 000 year old Genie who emerges from a magical Boombox to Grant a young boy three wishes and honestly the film sucked but he still managed to pocket a cool 7 million dollars for his time pretty good month if you ask me most of his acting career beyond that wasn't really acting because he often just played himself as you can imagine it's hard to cast a seven-foot superhuman as just another character he had guest appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm My Wife and Kids and The Parkers he also had fun Cameo roles in movies such as Freddy Got Fingered Jack and Jill and Scary Movie 4 but that's not all Shaq even lent his voice to animated versions of himself on several occasions and taking voice acting roles in multiple animated films like The Lego Movie but he isn't limited to just guest appearances and cameos he also has headlined a few of his own reality TV shows Shack life is still an ongoing series that provides an inside look into his family life but the more interesting ones were Shaq's Big Challenge and Shaq verses Shaq's Big Challenge documented his efforts to help six severely obese middle school-aged children lose weight and gain a healthy lifestyle and Shaq versus was basically him challenging other professional athletes at their own sports which was viewed by multiple millions of people every episode for some reason watching a seven foot man do anything besides play basketball was entertaining now it's pretty common for an NBA player to have their own signature shoe but O'Neill made a shocking decision that let us know exactly what kind of person he truly is with an amazing first season in the NBA underway Shaq caught the eye of Reebok and secured a significant multi-year deal with them worth 15 million dollars this partnership led to the creation of two original shoes with the first one being the Shack Attack released during his rookie year in 1992. over time the shack attack would release four more iterations in 1995 the iconic Shack gnosis was introduced marking another milestone in Jack's collaboration with Reebok his eight-figure Empire was building until he got a reality check from a fan while leaving the arena after a game a lady approached Jack complaining about the price of his current Reebok model shoes and a Reebok deal 40 for five and I'm leaving the arena one day and this ladies she's ripped me into a you [ __ ] not charging these babies all this money for the shoes so I had like a 2 000 in my pocket I was like man I don't make the prices here you go she smacked the money in my hand why would you mind making shoot as affordable you know I thought about it and I was like you know what she's right that day Shaq cut ties with Reebok and started his brand he went to his favorite store Walmart and they made a deal to make his shoes as affordable as possible the price range from as low as 12 dollars to around thirty dollars since then they've sold over 400 million pairs instead of trying to create the most hype shoe to compete with Jordan he did the opposite because of this some people even try to make fun of Shack and unfortunately the kids that wore his sneakers would oftentimes get picked on as well on the basis that Shaq wasn't cool enough or iconic enough to compete with Jordans but when you think about it he did a really great thing for kids all around the world who struggled financially but needed a decent pair of basketball shoes and he still made a ton of money his impressive net worth of over 400 million dollars shows that he's made All the Right Moves from the start he's been a very Savvy investor buying in early to companies like Google and apple back in the late 90s however his real estate portfolio is perhaps the most impressive and no it's not because he owns a bunch of mansions in the Hills he has taken on a number of different real estate development projects to provide affordable housing for those in need he built the largest 80 20 mixed income project in New Jersey which is where twenty percent of the apartments are considered affordable in Colorado he was a part of a deal that purchased 1407 subsidized Section 8 housing units with the intent to remodel and offer them for below the market rate my goal is to eventually own one billion dollars in affordable housing he basically wants to do the same thing he do with sneakers not own a few flashy and expensive properties but rather thousands of affordable units to help as many people as possible his servitude towards the community explains his strong interest in law enforcement did you know that Shaq is a police officer in multiple States in 2002 Shaquille attended the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Reserve Academy trying to become a SWAT team member the specific requirements for the specialized unit included the ability to scale a rope 100 feet in the air O'Neill had completed the conditioning tests the sit-ups the push-ups had endured the verbal assault and disciplinary penalties but he was just too heavy to accomplish the Rope climb he tried it 12 times the last one he reached 75 feet in the air before plummeting to the ground despite his failure he became a Reserve officer with the Los Angeles port police receiving sufficient training to carry a gun and ride as a second man in a port police car with senior officers but it didn't stop there when he got traded to the heat he worked as a Reserve officer in Miami from 2003 to 2005. his annual salary one dollar however a leak of his Miami Beach police questionnaire definitely raised a few problems the reason being he treated it like a joke under special skills he possessed he said laptop computer binoculars master of surveillance for primary occupation he put Grand Theft Auto investigations now as someone who would be considered legally able to carry a gun and serve the community you would think they wouldn't allow jokes on the application however Shaq never abused his power so I guess it's okay in 2005 he was honored with the title of U.S Deputy Marshal in 2013 Shaq was officially sworn in as a part-time Golden Beach Florida police officer in 2015 he was sworn in as a reserve police officer at the Doral Florida police department in 2016 Shaquille O'Neal was sworn in as a Clayton County Georgia sheriff's deputy in 2019 he was sworn in as an auxiliary Deputy with the Broward County Florida Sheriff's Department in 2020 he was named a Special Reserve Deputy in Saint Martin Parish Louisiana just about every city he visits he TAPS in with the local PD to see what's going on and I'm sure by now you're probably wondering since he's a police officer in all these different counties has he ever done any actual police work although he does have some stories of kicking in doors and finding dead bodies Shaq seems to be more of a just in case type officer however he does have one pretty good traffic stop story Darius miles former small forward for the Los Angeles Clippers was one day running late for practice as he was flying down the 405 he looked in the rear view and saw flashing lights it was an unmarked police truck with tinted windows I knew I was speeding so I pull over and I roll the window down and I'm reaching over into the glove compartment to get my papers then I hear this big booming voice where you going boy I turned to look out the window and I can't even see this dude's face he's so big then he bends down and looks in the window big dumbass grin on his face it's Shaq I'm like yo I'm going to practice you made me late he Taps the side of my truck turns around and says don't worry about it I'll pay her fine just holler at me Shaq's got one of those old school police lights that you put on the hood of your car like you see on Cops he gets in laughing his ass off waving at me as if there wasn't anything more impressive to add to his resume The College Dropout became a doctor Shaq made a promise to his mom that he would eventually go back and complete his bachelor's degree since he pursued his NBA dreams true to his word Shaq fulfilled that promise in the year 2000 and graduated with a ba in General Studies with a minor in political studies while this accomplishment would satisfy most Shaq isn't like most just five years later O'Neill pursued further education he earned online a master of business administration degree through the University of Phoenix saying it's just something to have on my resume for when I get back into reality someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular nine to five like everyone else towards the end of his playing career he began to work on a doctorate at Barry University eventually completing the program and receiving a doctor of Education degree in human resource development making him formally Dr Shaquille O'Neal so the big question that everybody wants to know what will Shaq do next well probably a little bit of everything
