The Diesel.  The Big Daddy.  Superman.  Shaq Fu.  The Big Aristotle.  The Big Shamrock.  Or simply, Shaq.  Whatever you call him, there’s no denying O’Neal’s bigger than life personality on and off the court.  The four-time NBA Champ and three-time NBA Finals MVP is one of the most prolific scorers in league history.  The Diesel’s presence in the post terrorized defenses throughout his 19-year career and analysts coined the phrase “Hack-a-Shaq” to refer to the constant barrage of fouls O’Neal received.  After a stellar career on the hardwood, Shaq officially retired after the 2011 season and is now pursuing a broadcasting career.
