Basketballlegenden Shaquille O'Neal har skabt overskrifter i årtier på grund af hans humor og atletik, men vi skal også tale om hans latterligt talentfulde familie.
Shaq er far til seks børn. De er alle sammen seje, og de fleste af dem spiller basketball ligesom deres far - ikke fordi Shaq brød sig om deres atletiske færdigheder, mens han opdragede dem. I et interview fra oktober 2021 på podcasten 'Earn Your Leisure' sagde han, at han altid prioriterede sine børns uddannelse og udvikling af deres forretningssans frem for atletik. Du skal have bachelor- eller mastergrader, og hvis du så vil have mig til at investere i en af dine virksomheder, bliver du nødt til at præsentere det, boom boom boom, bring det til mig, sagde han (via NY Post ). Jeg vil fortælle dig, jeg giver dig ikke noget.
Han fortsatte: 'Der er én regel: uddannelse. Jeg er ligeglad med, om du spiller basketball. Jeg er ligeglad med intet af det. Hør, jeg har seks børn. Jeg vil gerne have en læge, nogen til at eje en hedgefond, en farmaceut, en advokat, en der ejer flere virksomheder, nogen til at overtage min virksomhed. Men jeg siger til dem, at jeg ikke vil give dig den. Du skal gøre dig fortjent til det.'
