Did Shaquille O'Neal actually swim with sharks?
Shaquille O'Neal had a sucessful career in the NBA that resulted with him cementing himself as one of the game's most dominant centers. That would have been enough for most people, but not the LA Lakers legend.
Since retiring, Shaq has done countless things in multiple different fields. He is a sucessful businessman, appeared in movies, has his own DJ act, and is an award winning analyst on "Inside the NBA." Despite all of this, he still once made the crazy decision to swim with sharks.
Every summer, the Discovery channel goes all out with "Shark Week." For a full seven days, it airs nothing but shows and documentaries related to the animal. Many stars have decided to get in on the fun, including Shaq.
Four years ago, the Hall of Fame center suited up and did a deep dive around a hanful of sharks. In the end, Shaq ended up having the same reaction that most people would. After a shark swam past his feet when he got down there, he went swimming right back up to the surface to get back on the boat.
It took a small pep talk, but Shaq managed to find the courage to get back down there. He eventually ended up spending a couple minutes underwater as multiple sharks swam all around him.
