In Photos: Shaquille O'Neal secures stylish custom all-black carbon fiber Tesla Cybertruck
Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal recently added a second Tesla Cybertruck to his impressive multi-million-dollar car collection. Dubbed "CyberBeast," Shaq's new addition has been customized as a first-of-its-kind Cybertruck, featuring a widebody kit and carbon fiber construction.
On Friday, the Instagram page "HotFreestyle" shared pictures of the basketball legend and his new set of wheels. Take a look:
Customized by Effortless Motors, the Cyberbeast features massive 26-inch rims and a black-on-black color scheme. The four-time NBA champion had previously commissioned the dealership to customize his first Cybertruck as well. They delivered a larger version of the car, naming it "CyberBeast," to comfortably fit the NBA great's big stature.
As per a video shared by Effortless Motors, Shaquille O'Neal decided to purchase his second Cybertruck because he did not want to have his first one shipped out to Atlanta.
"I'm missing my Cybertruck but I don't want to ship it from Vegas to Atlanta. So I'm just going to go ahead and buy another one, so I'mma need another one," Shaq said while ordering his second Cybertruck.
Effortless Motors delivered the first-of-its-kind Cybertruck at Shaq's Las Vegas home, and the former NBA MVP seemingly fell in love with it the moment that he saw it.
Shaquille O'Neal thanks LeBron James for introducing him to Effortless Motors
While receiving his one-of-a-kind CyberBeast at his home, Shaquille O'Neal thanked LA Lakers star LeBron James for his part in connecting him with Effortless Motors. In a video shared by the company, Shaq seemed elated by his latest addition to his car collection, calling it the "cleanest Cybertruck in the country" before thanking James.
"I want to thank my boy Bron, bro, appreciate you, Bron," Shaq said.
Shaquille O'Neal got in touch with Effortless Motors after the dealership previously had a sketchy situation with LeBron James. In an Instagram post in June, Effortless Motors claimed that James had purchased a Bugatti supercar from it. However, the four-time NBA champion dismissed the claim, calling the company "liars" on Instagram.
“Stop the 🧢!! LIARS!! I don’t know y’all and I don’t even have that car. CLOUT CHASERS,” Bron wrote in his IG story.
The incident made O'Neal take notice of Effortless Motors, and he soon contacted the company to commission a customized Cybertruck to be a perfect fit for his stature. In a video shared by the dealership on Instagram in July, Shaq explained how he got in touch with them.
“Bron was upset that one of the secretaries post that they sold him a car. A couple young cats trying to get marketing business… But I said, you know what? If Bron could fit in the car and he don’t want it, let me holler,” Shaq said.
The events transpired just over a month after Shaq reportedly lost a $3 million bet against YouTuber Funny Marco, who challenged him to fit in the Tesla Cybertruck in May. So when the opportunity presented itself to get a customized Cybertruck he could fit in, the Lakers legend used it twice.
