O’Neal began making music in 1993. Overall, he has released five studio albums and one compilation. He’s lucky to be one of the few NBA players who were successful with music. His former teammate Kobe Bryant tried it, and Allen Iverson did too. Neither had much luck.

One thing that Shaq has over these other NBA musicians is a platinum plaque. Shaq’s first album, Shaq Diesel, is platinum certified. He’s even made guest appearances on Michael Jackson’s album HIStory. The people were listening to him and the world was watching.
