Shaquille O’Neal | Free Throw

Shaquille O’Neal was selected by the Orlando Magic as the no.1 overall pick in the 1992 NBA draft. His career includes a total of 28596 points and 15 in the all-star game. O ‘Neal was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016. Athletes can have a great sense of humor too. On top of his big fat bank account, Shaquille O’Neal can have a comedic streak.

When he purchased his private yacht, he didn’t know what to name it. In turn, the basketball pro went on social media to ask for suggestions from his fans. One of them said that he should call the boat Free Throw so that “you won’t ever sink it.” O’Neal probably thought it was a great way to personalize the boat and to keep his humor in its name, so he took it on. He really gives credit to his fans, so it isn’t surprising that he shares a lot of his life, and not just his career with them.
