Shaq says he's not a celebrity because most celebs are "rude"; he prefers to be seen as an everyday person.

Shaquille O’Neal has always managed to be successful in whatever he has done, likely because he lives by his own values. The former LSU Tiger shared his thoughts with People.com, explaining that he had distanced himself from the 'celebrity' title many years ago. “I removed myself from being a celebrity thirty years ago because I didn’t want to be associated with those who are often rude and obnoxious to people,” Shaq said. He also shared that he is selective when it comes to working with people, and described the internet star, Bad Luck Brian, as “a very nice guy.”



The NBA champion also shared some exciting news with People; General Insurance will become the official sponsor of the NBA G League and will launch a docu-series titled The Break presented by The General. The show will feature personalities from across the G League and will give viewers an inside look at players’ journeys to the NBA. Shaq is proud that his son, Shareef, is part of the G League’s Ignite and is looking forward to the exciting new show.
