{"id":4855,"count":207,"description":"While he's no longer hitting the hardwood, Shaquille O'Neal still casts a massive shadow over the NBA landscape.\r\n\r\nAfter towering over the NCAA competition at LSU, O'Neal entered into the 1992 NBA Draft and joined the Orlando Magic as the first overall pick. Shaq didn't miss a beat and quickly emerged as a dominant force in the paint. A championship, however, never materialized, and the big man eventually left for Hollywood.\r\n\r\nWith the Lakers, O'Neal famously teamed up with Kobe Bryant. While the two men didn't always see eye-to-eye, they did earn three NBA titles together in Los Angeles. The Diesel then returned to Florida, where he'd win a fourth ring with the Miami Heat, before bouncing around the league and ultimately retiring in 2011.\r\n\r\nIn addition to his on-court exploits -- Shaq still stands tall as one of the greatest big men to ever play the game -- the center hasn't slowed down in retirement. He's a prolific investor, a celebrity pitchman, and a part of TNT's NBA coverage.\r\n
