biography
In Islam, the name Shaquille Rashaund means little warrior. The irony is, there is nothing small about the 7'2", 310 pound Los Angeles Laker Shaquille Rashaund O'Neil.Born in Newark, New Jersey, O'Neal was destined to be a basketball star. By the age of 13, he was an astonishing 6'6" and already the talk of the town. This legend in the making entered the NBA draft after his junior season at Louisiana State University and was selected first overall by the Orlando Magic. The accolades that O'Neal received during his first year in the NBA surpassed that which any rookie had previously received.
