...his son asked for a very expensive car and Shaq instead offered him like a new Accord or something similar.
The son complained about the offer and said "but we're rich!"
Shaq replied "we're not rich...I'm rich..."
LOLOLOLOL...

That was why he went from the Magic to the Lakers - to be closer to Hollywood and the tv/commercial production industry.
Those of us of a certain age will remember Shaq-fu, Shazam, Blue Chips and any number of other projects he did in the 90s.
Heck, the dude is pulling 8 figs per year just off NBA Tonight.

I mean, I guess the counterpoint is to ask how many other players ten years (or more) after retirement can collect that CarMax or Icy Hot money... still: hope he's doing it cause he wants to.
PS: I looked it up: yeah, he's doing because he wants to. Literally a half-billionaire per Wiki. Credited with some astute stock picks over the years. Same thing for Magic Johnson I guess. Something about those LA Lakers....
Guns. Have them.![]()
