Former NBA center Shaq turns Las Vegas out during DJ debut
By Bryan Rose
It’s safe to say that former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many hats. From rapper to police officer to television analyst to actor, anything Shaq can get his massive hands on he seems to take a stab at it. That’s why it wasn’t a huge shock when news broke a few weeks ago stating that iconic NBA center would be hitting the 1’s and 2’s at a local Las Vegas club.

Heavy into the hip-hop scene since he was a member of the Orlando Magic, Shaq has always been interested in becoming a DJ but likely never had the skill to do so, at least not in front of a massive crowd. But over the years the big man continued to practice his craft and eventually felt comfortable enough to hit the big stage in the City of Sin.
So how did he do in his debut performance? Well, according to TMZ, Shaq Daddy had a slam dunk as he spent his Friday evening spinning records in the booth as fans and partygoer’s danced the night away at at Chateau nightclub at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Vegas.
In fact, the club and hotel were reportedly so impressed with Shaq, they decided to provide him with a Shaq-sized complimentary bottle of Moet, which is not exactly cheap.
Sounds like everybody in attendance, including Shaq himself (or as he likes to be know, ‘DJ Diesel’) had one hell of an evening.
At this point, is there anything Shaq can’t do well? Well, except that whole free throw thing.
