Former basketball MVP Shaquille O’Neal loves his customised cars. It’s best if they’re big, to fit his 7ft 1in frame. So how does he fit in his Smart car? He’s had the roof sawn off. He even had his Ferrari and Lamborghini extended, though how he works the pedals with size 23 shoes is a mystery.
The baller was born in New Jersey on 6 March 1972 and moved with his army sergeant stepfather to military bases in Germany and Texas as a kid. He played for Louisiana State University before joining the NBA and becoming Rookie Of The Year in 1993. Shaq started out with a humble Ford Bronco II, then progressed to Italian exotics and one-of-a-kind luxury cars. Having played for Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, he’ll have done some serious cross-country mileage. He called time on his career in 2011 after 19 seasons and has since turned his attention to some rather unusual three- and four-wheelers.
