Men Behind The Mystery
Shaquille O’Neal
Shaquille O’Neal is a renown athlete, Olympian, sports commentator, and Freemason who helped redefine the sport of Basketball.
Shaquille O’Neal was born in 1972 in New Jersey, known commonly as "Shaq".
Despite his Father's absence, Shaquille grew up with structure and security. His Step-Father was a career soldier, and O'Neal spent his youth living on military bases in Germany and Texas, as well as at the Boys and Girls Club of America. His talent for basketball, along with his 7’ 1” height, became evident while he was in High School and would go on to define his career.
Brother O'Neal is now a member of Widow's Son Lodge No. 28 in Boston.
His legendary status in basketball is well known. Since 1992, he has played for six NBA teams: the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat, the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Boston Celtics.
Brother O'Neal graduated from Louisiana State University, and he holds an MBA from Phoenix University. He's currently pursuing a PhD in Leadership and Education at Barry University. Influenced by his step-father's military background and devotion to service, Shaq has made public service a priority in his life, making untold donations to charities and organizations across the country, and even working as a reserve police officer in Los Angeles, Miami, and Phoenix. He has recently formed a business venture in Orlando to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
