Shaquille O’Neal Reveals He Was Embarrassed That He Couldn’t Help His Son Fill Out Resume

Shaquille O’Neal was one of the most dominant and unstoppable players the NBA has ever seen. There are very few other players that were able to put fear in the eyes of opponents on both ends of the floor.

But due to his early dominance, his path to become a professional basketball player was set in stone early… or at least early enough to never get a ‘real’ job.

In a recent interview, Shaq now revealed that him never having a real job also is the reason why he is unable to do tasks that are pretty basic to ‘normal’ people. One of these tasks, is helping his son with a resume.

Per 7News:

Shaquille O’Neal: I am grateful, because I realise that the position I am in, in life, is a lucky position. I never had a real job in my life. When I was trying to help my son fill out a resume, I had to call somebody … I couldn’t do it … I was embarrassed.

David Koch: You’ve never had a real job, but you’re almost as comfortable in business as you are on the basketball court … you’ve got an MBA.

Shaquille O’Neal: The reason why I did that is because I always like to be in charge, but I let other people speak for me, my agents … they think I’m just this dumb jock who has no inclination of what business is. It would just drive me crazy.
