Shaquille O’Neal

The 1992 Draft opened the floodgates for Shaquille O’Neal as this allowed him to be among the best basketball players of all time. During his 19-year career in professional basketball, the player has become part of six teams. When he was a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers, he led them to victory three times, in 2000, 2001, and 2002. O’Neal had also proven himself to be business savvy when he went on to buy a minority share in the Sacramento Kings.

Not all of his financial moves were profitable, though. He made poor investments in an unnamed paper company. The basketball legend was promised profits, which never materialized. This event was apparently not the first because he revealed that when he was younger, he was also prone to scams. Maybe this experience will now help him get better at identifying legitimate business deals and bogus ones.
