If you need more Shaquille O'Neal in your life, HBO has you covered.
On Wednesday, the first episode of a new four-part documentary about O'Neal will air on HBO. Titled "SHAQ," the series will take a closer look at the life, career and legacy of the NBA legend, featuring interviews from the likes of Jerry West, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Penny Hardaway and Dwyane Wade.
“We kept this documentary real from the start, and I do feel like it is the most honest look into my life and career up until this point," said O'Neal. "This process allowed me to reflect publicly in a way I haven’t before, and I’m so proud of the work everyone has done to put it all together.”
O'Neal is one of the greatest players in NBA history. The No. 1 pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, he earned 15 All-Star selections, 14 All-NBA selections, four championships, three Finals MVP awards and one regular-season MVP award in his Hall of Fame career. He was named to both the NBA's 50th and 75th anniversary teams.
O'Neal has remained in the spotlight since retiring as a member of TNT's popular "Inside the NBA" show.
