The NBA legend reveals the curious reason that led him to reject going to the Big Apple at the time
One of the great legends of the NBA is Shaquille O'Neal. The 53-year-old former basketball player forged his legacy with a very notable career. In fact, many consider him one of the top 2 centers in the history of the league.
Shaq has recently made headlines for some very curious statements. The legendary former NBA player could have joined the New York Knicks after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers in 2004, but he chose not to for a surprising reason.
"After leaving the Lakers, the Knicks were a competitive team, but I turned them down because I like to drive. And in New York, you can't drive. You can't drive. I have two big trucks that would be useless in New York. There's nowhere to park," he stated on his show 'The Big Podcast with Shaq'.
For that simple reason, Shaq ended up being traded to the Miami Heat, where he would win his final professional championship in 2006.
