Nicknamed Shaq, the 44-year-old retired athlete played for six teams throughout his 19-year NBA career. 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.

O’Neal played for the Boston Celtics in the 2010–11 season before retiring
