Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal, known commonly as Shaq, is an American former professional basketball player who is a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA.Shaq explained his desire to be shorter in an interview with
People, recounting how it all stems from a time in his life when he had to make certain accommodations for his height. "They've got these Lamborghinis and Ferraris... [and] I used to have to buy two, shrimp them up, spend a crazy amount of money and take the convertible part off to make myself fit," he said. "But that's the only time I've wished I was smaller, so I can get into some of these expensive sports cars. Other than that, I've never had that thought process."
