Shaquille O’Neal embraces his towering stature without hesitation, except in one particular scenario. On the recent episode of his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq, the 51-year-old retired NBA and Los Angeles legend was being asked tough questions regarding a situation and his response to this seemed a bit odd.
The 2000 MVP adores the thrill of driving sports cars. However, Shaq has gone to great lengths to squeeze into the tight confines of certain vehicles.
On his most recent podcast episode, Shaq disclosed,
Only time I wanted to be small is when I walk by and see these guys in little sports cars… like the Ferraris and Lamborghinis. So I was this idiot that would buy the sports car knowing I can’t fit and then having to pay extra… to make it fit.
He went on to add,
I have a red Ferrari…I’ve had a Lamborghini that I stretched…and I wasted money on it….One day I was in my Lamborghini and a guy blew me out in a Hellcat.
Furthermore, he disclosed that there was no need for alterations to accommodate his stature in a Hellcat. Simply adjusting the seat backward provides ample room, a definite win-win situation. Additionally, Shaq’s car collection boasts not just one Hellcat but several, though none quite rival his personalized vehicle.
