‘Philosophical’ Shaquille O’Neal Shares ‘5 Lessons By Steve Jobs’ With His 30,900,000 Followers; Gets Applauded By Stephen Curry’s Mom

Shaquille O’Neal is remembered as the most dominant player in NBA history. His skills on the basketball court aside, Shaq also fancies himself to be quite the philosopher. And, with a nickname like The Big Aristotle, he does not disappoint. In fact, he recently shared a post on Instagram to his 30,900,000 followers about “five lessons by Steve Jobs”. A post that got him the plaudits from Stephen Curry‘s mother Sonya Curry.

The four-time NBA Champion has lived 51 long years and in his time on this planet, he has accumulated quite a bit of wisdom. And, if there is one thing he likes to do it is to share said wisdom. In fact, he takes every chance he gets to flex his knowledge to his 30 million-plus followers. Well, his most recent set of posts has been getting a lot of traction and some mixed reviews.

Shaquille O’Neal shares five lessons by Steve Jobs in a post that Sonya Curry found insightful

Shaq recently shared a very philosophical post via Instagram. The post in question was O’Neal’s way of sharing a little bit of wisdom with his followers. A post about “five lessons from Steve Jobs”.

It was an interesting post, but one that has seen mixed reviews from his 30,900,000 followers. Some good and some bad, but out of all the reviews, perhaps the most notable one came from Stephen Curry’s mother. Sonya Curry found the post to be very insightful, which is a reaction that is in stark contrast to that of his followers.

In fact, a lot of them were upset with Shaq for posting this. Especially given how some of the lessons mentioned in the post do not really reflect the truth.

As they pointed out, the first of the lessons that Shaq has so blindly shared has to do with children. And, seeing as Steve Jobs was a terrible father to his children, the post didn’t make a lot of sense to some of them.

Despite sharing Steve Jobs’ actual life lessons Shaq seems unaware of the truth

It’s true, that the five lessons that Shaquille O’Neal shared on Instagram are actual lessons from Steve Jobs. The late business magnate had some great insights into the meaning of life. However, while he may have shared the post with good intentions, it would seem Shaq was blissfully unaware of the truth about Jobs.

While he did talk about educating children to be happy, the reality is that Jobs was a terrible father to his own children.

Granted, it’s highly unlikely that Shaq posted this knowing about Jobs’ history. Nevertheless, it might do him some good to do a little more research before sharing his “wisdom” with his followers.
