Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal (/ʃəˈkiːl/ shə-KEEL; born March 6, 1972), nicknamed Shaq (/ˈʃæk/ SHAK), is a retired American professional basketball player who is currently an analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. Listed at 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall and weighing 325 pounds (147 kg), he was one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. O'Neal played for six teams throughout his 19-year NBA career. He was announced as a nominee for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on December 21, 2015.
Following his career at Louisiana State University, O'Neal was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft. He quickly became one of the best centers in the league, winning Rookie of the Year in 1992–93 and later leading his team to the 1995 NBA Finals. After four years with the Magic, O'Neal signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers. They won three consecutive championships in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Amid tension between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat in 2004, and his fourth NBA championship followed in 2006. Midway through the 2007–2008 season he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a season-and-a-half with the Suns, O'Neal was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2009–10 season. O'Neal played for the Boston Celtics in the 2010–11 season before retiring.

Intro: Shaq
yo yo
this jam right here dedicated to all the little bad knuckleheads runnin'
around
gettin' in trouble

Chorus: Peter Gunz
yo it was all a dream
deprising and uprising my schemes
but suprising realzing that
yo it was all a dream
I kept my head above the water for cream
but now I'm turnin' all heads when I step on the scene
(yesterday it was just a dream
never thought this could ever happen to me)
it was all a dream
(how a change came around in my life)
Verse 1: Shaq
I went back and forth from ??? to chilltown JC
at first it's just me and mommy
then Phil came along, he bought a basketball go to the park
get your game on Shaq but have your butt back by dark
I was acting like the doc, my game was the joint
dribbilin' between my legs like Norm Nixon at the point
materalism kept them other kids biz'm
while I was selling my game they was sellin' izm
words by Phil be a leader not a follwa
don't let the masses of technolgy swallow ya
la-d da-d we all likes to party
I'm followin' my dreams I'm gonna be somebody
Chorus
Verse 2: Shaq
now check it, commodores was my favorite joint
til I heard Planet Rock on the bop, that jam's on point
I used to rhyme in the mirrior, like I was down with UTFO
Doug E. Fresh singin' a show
for a big kid I had crazy rythem
size 13 suede crews with thick shoe strings in 'em
I was the baddest popa, baddest rhyme dropper
bustin' more mills than Superman to helicopters
I had the name buckle kids used to jock
Public Enemy came out, I had the clock
my favorite jam was by Big Daddy ain't no half steppa
my mic sounds nice check 1-2 by Salt N' Pepa
Heavy D, Rakim, Eric B, Ricky D
Scott LaRock and BDP
I never knew 'em but I used to look up to 'em
battles in the park in the dark I ran through 'em
Chorus
Verse 3: Shaq
somebody wake me up this can't be real
lookin' in the paper, Shaq's about to make a hundred mil
somebody smack me, it's gotta be fake
20,000 square foot crib on the back of a lake
five movie deal with Disney
damn I'm getting busy like Dizzy Calepsi
20 mil check from Pepsi
let's see, red benz and black porsche
??? room suburban with roof-top hole and of course
boat with my name on the side so I can ride on the water
with my wife and my baby daughter
I oughta write a book so y'all can see
how easy it is to be who the hell you wanna be
this is a message from Shaq, react bring it on back
follow your dreams and it's like that
