Better believe it you read that right, Shaquille O’Neal, the one who upset the NBA throughout recent years, is as a matter of fact a Muslim. Raised with both a Christian impact (mother) and Muslim impact (step-father), Shaq has never been too vocal about his strict connection yet he has referenced it in certain meetings and has taken the Muslim journey to Mecca called Hajj.
Shaq won three straight in L.A., captured one more in Miami, gave the world Kazaam, and presently he’s Charles Barkley’s street canine on TNT teasing NBA players on a daily premise. Any rundown of Muslim competitors wouldn’t be finished without the Shaq Daddy, that and he’ll have a spot when we drop our “Most noteworthy Players That Got Old and Joined Any Team That Would Take Them” list. #ondeck
