Shaquille O'Neal Talks About Life After Basketball on 'The View'

Shaquille O'Neal appeared on "The View" Tuesday to tower over the ladies like a giant, and chat about what he's been up to since he retired from his lucrative professional basketball career.

He greeted the ladies with bear hugs and dancing, then reminded us that he's a towering 7'1'. However, he has the mentality of a "little guy", which means he likes to do "little guy" things.

One of those things is drive, even if he has to get cars custom made to his build.

He told a story about a sports car he wanted to purchase, and how he was going to solve the problem of how he was going to fit. "If I cut the top off permanently, I would fit," he said.

"I knew my career was going to end with a career-ending injury," he told the ladies. "So I went back and I got my Bachelors, then I got my Masters and my Doctorate."

Since O'Neal retired from basketball, he's been studying and making public appearances. Most recently, O'Neal has teamed up with IcyHot.

Broadwayworld.com reported: "Back pain affects eight out of 10 people at some point in their lives[1] and Shaquille O'Neal is no exception.

"I've spent countless hours in doctor's offices over the years as a result of my chronic back pain," said former NBA Champion and IcyHot spokesperson Shaquille O'Neal."

Shaq and Rosie then went head to head in a basketball, hoop-shooting battle, and it seemed like Shaq definitely hadn't lost his stuff.

It's not much of a surprise that he won the game, though Nicole Wallace reminded everyone that Rosie was a fierce competitor.
