NBA All-Star, sports analyst and DJ, Shaquille O’Neal will be returning to Australia in June 2020. This marks his first visit to the country in over 20 years.

His highly anticipated return will feature a national tour of Q&A sessions and seminars in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The Shaq Tour is presented by La Trobe Financial. 

Shaq is a man with many nicknames – The Diesel, The Big Cactus, The Big Aristotle, The Real Deal, The Big Shamrock, Shaq Daddy, The Big Banana, The Big Galactus, Shaq Fu, Superman or simply Shaq.  

Shaquille O’Neal is regarded as one of the most dominant athletes and arguably the most gregarious personality in sports history. 

The 7’1″ and 147 kg giant was the number 1 draft pick in 1992. He averaged 23.7 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 blocks over a span of nineteen years in the NBA. He has played for 5 NBA teams: the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Miami Heat, the Phoenix Suns, and the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.

O’Neal’s individual accolades include the 1999–2000 MVP award, the 1992–93 NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, three All-Star Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, two scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections, and three NBA All-Defensive Team selections.

He is one of only three players to win NBA MVP, All-Star game MVP and Finals MVP awards in the same year (2000).  Shaq ranks 8th all-time in points scored, 6th in field goals, 15th in rebounds, and 8th in blocks. O’Neal also ranks third all-time in field goal percentage (58.2%). He was elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016 and the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2017.

He wrote an autobiography (Shaq Talks Back) and preserves an online presence for his fan base. Shaq continues to engage his loyal and adoring fanbase post-retirement, with 14.8 million Twitter fans, 13.6 million Instagram followers, 6.1 million Facebook likes.

Shaq produced a number of albums (Biological Didn’t Bother, Shaq-Fu: Da Return, etc.), and starred in select movies Steel(1997), Kazaam (1996), Blue Chips (1994). 

The Big Diesel continues to put his time and energy into business ventures in social media, e-sports, multimedia and the food industry. Shaq is also a minority owner of the Sacramento Kings.

  • Larry Kestelman Says Geelong Deserves an NBL Team But Is Missing a Real Estate Component

    The possibility of an NBL expansion team in Geelong has gained momentum, with league owner Larry Kestelman confirming the city is a strong candidate—provided it can secure a suitable venue. However, much like we outlined in an article a number of years ago, How the Geelong Supercats could return to the NBL within 3 years, the missing piece isn’t just a stadium, but a real estate-backed development plan to make the project financially viable. Kestelman recently acknowledged Geelong’s growing basketball scene, citing record participation numbers…

  • The Wollongong Hawks’ 2001 NBL Championship: The defining moment of an underdog’s rise

    There have been championship runs in the NBL defined by dominance and the sheer weight of talent that could overwhelm opponents before the ball was tipped. The dynasties of Perth, the star-studded reign of Melbourne, and the rise of Sydney’s financial muscle all tell tales of powerhouses that knew how to stay at the top. But there has only ever been one championship like Wollongong’s in 2001—a title won through sheer resilience, a team that had no business being there until they forced their way…

  • If Dyson Daniels Doesn’t Win Defensive Player of the Year, It’s a Disgrace

    The Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is supposed to recognise the most dominant defender in the NBA. If that’s the case, then Dyson Daniels should already have his name engraved on the trophy. But as the season winds down, there’s a growing concern that Daniels might get overlooked simply because he’s a guard. If that happens, it won’t just be unfair—it will be a disgrace. Daniels is Leading the NBA in Every Key Defensive Stat There’s no argument against Daniels’ defensive dominance this…

  • Sydney Kings’ Xavier Cooks Faces Further Consequences After Positive Cocaine Test

    Sydney Kings captain Xavier Cooks has served most of his one-month suspension for testing positive for cocaine but may still face additional disciplinary action from his club. He was provisionally suspended in early February after returning an adverse analytical finding just two days before the Kings’ sudden-death clash against Adelaide. Basketball Australia later confirmed the ban, though the club initially cited “personal leave” as the reason for his absence. Despite the violation, Sydney Kings officials reportedly want to retain Cooks, who remains under contract for…

  • New Sydney NBL Team: A Next Stars Hub in the Making?

    A second Sydney NBL team is expected to be the league’s next expansion franchise, with Gold Coast, Darwin, and Canberra all encountering significant roadblocks in recent months. It’s believed the Harbour City Stars is the leading candidate for the team name, following a branding strategy similar to how San Francisco’s Golden State Warriors use a regional moniker rather than the city’s name. This broader identity would emphasize the team’s connection to Sydney’s iconic harbor while avoiding geographical constraints within the city. In addition to Harbour…
