Shaquille O'Neal released his autobiography today - "Shaq Uncut." Here is the publisher's synopsis:
"Superman. Diesel. The Big Aristotle. Shaq Fu. The Big Daddy. The Big Shaqtus.
Wilt Chamberneezy. The Real Deal. The Big Shamrock. Shaq.
You know him by
any number of names, and chances are you know all about his legendary basketball
career: Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal is a four-time NBA champion and a three-time NBA
Finals MVP. After being an All-American at Louisiana State University, he was
the overall number one draft pick in the NBA in 1992. In his 19-year career,
Shaq racked up 28,596 career points (including 5,935 free throws!), 13,099
rebounds, 3,026 assists, 2,732 blocks, and 15 All-Star appearances.
These
are statistics that are almost as massive as the man himself. His presence - both
physically and psychologically - made him a dominant force in the game for two
decades. But if you follow the game, you also know that there's a lot more
to Shaquille O'Neal than just basketball.
Shaq is famous for his playful,
and at times, provocative personality. He is, literally, outsize in both scale
and persona. Whether rapping on any of his five albums, challenging celebrities
on his hit television show "Shaq Vs.," studying for his PhD or serving as a
reserve police officer, there's no question that Shaq has led a unique and
multi-dimensional life. And in this rollicking new autobiography, Shaq discusses
his remarkable journey, including his candid thoughts on teammates and coaches
like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley. From growing up in difficult circumstances and getting cut from his high
school basketball team to his larger-than-life basketball career, Shaq lays it
all out in SHAQ UNCUT: MY STORY. "
