Childhood

Shaq’s parents never got married, and his father left immediately after Shaq was born after being released from prison. O’Neal and his father’s connection deteriorated over a number of years. At the age of two, his mother and Phillip Harrison, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, were united in marriage.

Boy’s and Girls Club of America was a part of O’Neal’s upbringing, and he attributes their support in keeping him off the streets to that group. From Texas and Germany, they decided to relocate after leaving Newark.

When Shaq was still a high schooler, his basketball abilities started to attract attention. During his senior year at Robert G. Cole High School in San Antonio, he led the team to the national title.

O’Neal continued his career at Louisiana State University, whereby he repeatedly earned the SEC Player of the Year award and repeatedly made the All-American team. Furthermore, he received the Adolph Rupp’s Trophy as the 1991 NCAA Men’s Basketball Player of the Year.

Career

The Orlando Magic drafted O’Neal first overall in 1992. In addition to being chosen as an All-Star rookie, he won the Rookie of the Year title, a feat previously accomplished by Michael Jordan a year later. In his second season, Shaq helped the Magic advance to the first round of the playoffs.

They made it to the championship game the next year but lost to the Houston Rockets. Notwithstanding O’Neal missing a significant amount of the 1995–96 season, the Orlando Magic finished the regular season with a perfect percentage.

Having lost the very first two matches of their conference finals matchup with the Chicago Bulls, O’Neal and the Magic won. O’Neal took part in the men’s basketball competition at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

Afterward, the team received the Olympic gold medal. During the Olympics, tensions between O’Neal’s coach, his team, and the Orlando-area press grew, and he publicly announced his intention to join the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers offered O’Neal a seven-year, $121 million contract.

Due to this selection, O’Neal and a young Kobe Bryant were placed on the same team, joining other great players in the game. Notwithstanding his first few seasons with the Lakers seeming hopeful, they were unsuccessful in winning a championship. O’Neal suffered from injuries and management changes until things began turning around.

Beginning in 2008, O’Neal’s organizations no longer signed his contract. In that season, he was traded to the Phoenix Suns, where he failed to make the playoffs for the first time since his rookie campaign. At the end of his rookie year with the squad, he was transferred due to budgetary constraints.

There would be further one-year contracts, notably with the Boston Celtics during his season finale and the Cleveland Cavaliers (with Lebron James).

Since the 1990s, O’Neal has engaged in both financial and residential estate activity. The corporate sector has also attracted his attention. He would enter the Board of Directors of Papa John’s, it was revealed on March 22, 2019.

Shaq’s three-year pay and stock compensation from the position will total $8.25 million. In order to purchase 30% of a Papa John’s franchise with 9 locations in Atlanta, he is also putting $840,000 of his own money into the deal.

In September 2007, O’Neal announced that he and Shaunie were divorcing. Shaunie filed for divorce in November 2009, but they later changed their minds and withdrew from the divorce. She highlighted insurmountable discrepancies.
