Shaquille O'Neal is widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in the sports world.

O'Neal had a Hall of Fame career in the NBA, playing alongside some of the biggest stars in the history of the game, such as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

In his retirement days, O'Neal can be found on "Inside the NBA," covering some of the biggest games and news topics on national television as a broadcast analyst.

O'Neal has also ventured into various other business opportunities, such as his annual Shaq's Fun House event that's set to return in 2026.

"BAY AREA… I’m bringing my legendary @ShaqsFunHouse presented by @CreditOneBank to Big Game Weekend 2026," O'Neal said.
