Shaquille O’Neal’s passion for cars, particularly his fondness for extreme customizations, is well-known among his fans. The former NBA star has never shied away from pushing the boundaries of car remodeling while often adding luxurious vehicles to his impressive collection.

Recently, Shaq took to Instagram to showcase his latest automotive acquisition—a sleek, black Tesla Cybertruck. This isn’t just any Cybertruck; it’s a custom “Cyberbeast” featuring rear carbon fiber fender flares. Impressively, this marks Shaq’s second purchase of a Cybertruck.

The excitement surrounding Shaq’s new ride didn’t go unnoticed. Even Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, took note of the NBA legend’s latest purchase. Musk shared Shaq’s Instagram post on X, simply captioning it with a nod of approval, captioning it, “Nice.”

NBA fans were equally fascinated by Shaq’s intense passion for cars. They admired the former star’s latest addition to his collection, which was incredibly stylish and exciting.

Shaquille O’Neal Weighs In On Lakers’ Prospects

Despite coming off a mediocre season, the Los Angeles Lakers have not made any significant moves to improve their roster, leading to speculation about another lackluster performance in the upcoming season. Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal weighed in on the team’s prospects during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN.

“I think personally, they’re gonna have a rough start. And what I mean by that, you know, as a coach, it’s all about respect. If I’m a guy that’s played seven or eight years and I have a young coach who I think I was a better player than, there’s gonna be a level of disrespect there,” Shaq said.

“LeBron and AD will do a great job of keeping everyone in order, but I always said that if you really respect your coach, you’ll really go out there and play hard,” he added.

Shaq secured three NBA championships with the Lakers. But this storied franchise has struggled in recent seasons to meet fans’ expectations after their last title win in 2020.

Who Is Malika Andrews’ Husband?

Dave McMenamin isn’t as popular as Malika Andrews, but he’s been around for a while.

He joined ESPN in 2009 and mainly covers the Los Angeles Lakers. The 41-year-old played college basketball in Ireland and was a student manager at Syracuse during Carmelo Anthony’s run to the national championship in 2003.

He is also the author of the New York Times best-seller, ‘Return of the King: LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Greatest Comeback in NBA History.’ ESPN colleague Brian Windhorst co-authored the book.

Meanwhile, Andrews hosts ‘NBA Today’ and ‘NBA Countdown’ at said network.

Their mutual love for basketball influenced their wedding date, 8.24.24, a day reserved to celebrate the late Kobe Bryant.
