Shaq Uncut: My Story

Shaq, Shaquille O’Neal, Big Cactus, Wilt Chamberlain, Dr. Shaq, ShakDondalds, Osama bin Shaq—you can call him whatever you like, but his identity remains the same. A man known for his iron principles, effective play, and his playful, bordering on provocative, character.

This is Shaquille O’Neal’s honest autobiography—of a four-time NBA champion, a three-time NBA Finals MVP, and a participant in the “big ten” of the most prolific basketball players in the history of the League. The real monster in the paint—and the last remaining center, as he calls himself. But Shaquille O’Neal is not just about basketball. The range of his personality is astonishing: from reading rap to writing a master’s thesis, Shaq keeps proving again and again that he can do everything—and even a little more.

In his book, Shaq tells, without glossing over anything, about his path to becoming a big NBA star—one full of difficulties and setbacks. He also openly reflects on his teammates and coaches, such as Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James.
