May 2024 · 4 minute read

Shaquille O’Neal, an NBA Hall of Famer and basketball legend, has just collected $2 million for children who need it. Although O’Neal enjoys generating money, he also believes that it is important to give back to the community and assist the people that helped him grow into the successful businessman that he is today. In less than 24 hours, Shaq’s NFT collection Shaq Gives Back collected $2 million for charity, surpassing the $1 million milestone. On the Notables and OpenSea platforms, the 10,000-piece NFT series is a collection of one-of-a-kind NFT avatars that feature the legendary athlete.

One of the very few NBA players from past generations, O’Neal may have earned far more money after retiring than he had when earning tens of millions of dollars in NBA pay. He has amassed a vast fortune of more than $400 million as a result of his numerous investments in very successful MNC giants like Google and his own diverse enterprises in the United States. In 2021, O’Neal reaffirmed his intention to launch the collection and donate all net earnings to the Shaq Foundation. The company supports programmes and initiatives aimed at underprivileged kids nationally in collaboration with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Communities in Schools.

Over the course of his 19 seasons in the league, he won several awards, including MVP and and Rookie of the Year. O’Neal won four NBA championships and three MVP awards in the Finals. O’Neal, who played centre, had an instant impact after being selected first overall by the Orlando Magic in the 1992 NBA Draft. A 1995 trip to the NBA Finals was one of the four seasons the Louisiana State product spent with Orlando. With 29.3 points per game that season, he set a league scoring record.

In 1996, O’Neal signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that would go on to bear his name most prominently. O’Neal led the Lakers in leading them to three straight titles from 2000 and 2003. O’Neal went back to the NBA Finals in 2006 and guided the Miami Heat in winning their first title. His 15 All-Star appearances tie him for fourth place in NBA history in that category. O’Neal’s jersey was retired by both the Heat and the Lakers.

In order to provide resources and opportunity to impoverished youngsters around the nation, his Shaquille O’Neal Foundation collaborated with The Boys & Girls Clubs. The organization quickly raised more than $2,000,000 from his NFT sale.
