It wasn’t an easy process, as we can see. O’Neal seemed like he was getting the hang of it, till he wasn’t anymore. It’s fun to see the big man try new things. He lives by the philosophy that we should never stop learning, and he properly embraces it too.

Michael Jackson once tried to buy Shaq’s mansion

Once on the Revolt podcast, Shaq revealed how Michael Jackson showed up at his doorstep one day.

“MJ showed up at my house and tried to buy my house in Orlando. Yeah, he just showed up at the door… So I had this big 70,000 square meter, and I had a bed that fits 50 people. He looked around the house, he said ‘I want to buy the house.’ and I’m like ‘It’s not for sale.’ Then I went to his house, this dude had a real zoo at his house. Not animals. This dude had a real zoo.”

It’s safe to say Shaq’s lived a colorful life and he continues to do so till date.
