SHAQUILLE O’NEAL


Regarded as one of the greatest centers and basketball players of all time, Shaquille O’Neal had played for six different teams during his almost two-decade NBA career. O’Neal was chosen by the Orlando Magic in the 1992 NBA Draft as its first overall pick and went on to win the 1992-1993 season Rooke of the Year award. Four years later, he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent and helped the team win three consecutive championships between 2000 and 2002. Then in 2004, the big center was traded to the Miami Heat. There were three more teams that O’Neal was traded in, including the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics, before retiring.

O’Neal was credited with Most Valuable Player Award, Finals MVP Award, All-Star MVP Award and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, among many others. As his career soared high, so as his wealth, and one of the things O’Neal bought was his Polaris Slingshot in 2017. It’s fitted with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder GM Ecotec engine with 173 brake horsepower and a top speed of 209 km/h.
