Shaquille O’Neal, the Hall of Famer has a bunch of tales to entertain his fans. From his rookie season incidents to his last few seasons in the league, Shaq’s stories can last for days. Being a veteran on a team comes with perks and responsibilities. A veteran provides experience and mentors the younger guys on the team. On the other hand, the same vet might also bully his rookies.

O’Neal shared a similar story in the recent episode of The Big Podcast with Shaq. The Diesel spent four seasons with the Miami Heat, winning a championship along the way. During his time in Miami, O’Neal once went after a rookie who couldn’t keep up with his aura.

So I told him (rookie) to do something and he didn't do it. And like, he's also similar to me cause he's jokester. He thought I was playing... And I chased him around locker room. I was b*tt naked.

This only explains further how Shaq wanted to have his way of things always. There aren’t many stories where the veteran chases the rookie around the locker room while not having anything on. O’Neal simply likes to entertain his fans with his tales from the past.

Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t a quite rookie himself

The famous story of Shaquille O’Neal spending a million dollars in a day is heard by most of his fans. During his rookie season, Shaq’s game did all the talking on the court. Though off the court, he couldn’t catch control of his spending.

Coming from a struggling background, O’Neal did not think twice when it came down to riches. The young millionaire would get his hands on anything and anytime. He was an All-Star and Rookie of the Year. No one could ever tell him to do any better. Being a dominant player, O’Neal did not receive any sort of criticism in his first season.

A free-minded and focused athlete wasted no time in gifting his father, mother and himself a new car. Buying all sorts of things, such jewelry, clothes, and more. However, it wasn’t long till Shaq got a call from the bank. After spending an enormous amount in less than 24 hours, Shaq was $80,000 in debt.

A lesson learned the hard way, Shaq got to know the truth about athletes who spent most of their money on unnecessary riches instead of investing, saving, or even growing. Today, O’Neal’s net worth is up $500 million, which is a $100 million increase since 2022. The Diesel definitely has some great financial knowledge, now making him one of the richest retired athletes.
