"I was with the Miami Heat one day and the article came out, 'Grandmother leaves (grand) son $250 million,'" O'Neal said. "I go to the locker room one day, and this kid's on his knees scrubbing the bathroom floor. ... He had to do that, he was picking up jocks, and he started in the marketing department."

You got to start from the bottom.'"Impaulsive@impaulsive4x NBA champion turned business mogul, @SHAQ, joins the boys to discuss Kobe Bryant regrets, why MJ is the GOAT (over LeBron), becoming a s*x symbol, why George should be fired, Logan giving Jeffrey Dahmer vibes, the deep relationship with his father, DJ Diesel takeover & more…1964634x NBA champion turned business mogul, @SHAQ, joins the boys to discuss Kobe Bryant regrets, why MJ is the GOAT (over LeBron), becoming a s*x symbol, why George should be fired, Logan giving Jeffrey Dahmer vibes, the deep relationship with his father, DJ Diesel takeover & more… https://t.co/oM66aWbQPj Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Chad Marriott × Feedback Thank You!
