Shaquille O’Neal is remembered as one of the greatest players in NBA history. But, he is also a great businessman and entrepreneur.

The Big Diesel has had several business ventures and endorsements over the years. All of which have contributed to his massive $400 million net worth.

One of his more popular and well-known endorsements is with Krispy Kreme. Shaq has had a great relationship with the doughnut company since 2016 and is now set to help rebuild one of its most iconic outlets in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shaquille O’Neal is all set to rebuild a historic Krispy Kreme outlet in Atlanta, Georgia

Over the years, Shaq has established himself as a central figure in several communities across the United States. One of them is the city of Atlanta, Georgia.

Diesel spends a lot of time in A-Town, seeing as he works in Studio J for TNTs Inside the NBA. Well, O’Neal is now going to be giving back to the city. Delivering on the promise he made years ago, the Hall of Famer in collaboration with Krispy Kreme will be rebuilding one of the company’s most historic outlets in the city.

The outlet in question was burned down by an arsonist. But, holds much significance, as mourners received boxes from the franchise back in 1968 following the death of Martin Luther King Jr. A gesture to help bring the community together.

A splendid gesture on The Big Aristotle’s part. One that will certainly be appreciated by the Atlanta locals.

Shaq grew out his baby hairs after losing a bet to Candace Parker

Shaquille O’Neal was used to breaking backboards back in his playing days. But most recently, the four-time champion broke the internet when he lost a bet to Candace Parker. One that saw him grow out his “baby hairs” for the most recent Tuesday episode of NBA on TNT.

It was a sight to behold. Safe to say that Shaq won’t be making any bets for quite a while.
