Former Los Angeles Lakers star Shaquille O'Neal has opened up about a myth during his career. The 51-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of NBA.
O'Neal was recently quoted in a report where he talked about a myth surrounding players having a proper routine while playing in the NBA.
“That's a myth. I never go to bed early,” he said. “Ever since 18 years old, I have never went to bed before 12…That was my thing. Stay out all night, right? Just four, get up at 10, go to shoot around, message around come back, 2:30 club, fries and a pineapple soda and then I sleep for four hours.
“That's what I need before the game. Like if I get that there hours before the game, no matter what I did the night before, I’m killing somebody.”
O'Neal ended up winning four NBA championships in his illustrious career. He was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) on three occasions. He was named the NBA MVP only — in 2020.
For his services on the court, three of his former teams, the LA Lakers, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic ended up retiring his jerseys. O'Neal finished his career after registering 25,596 points, 13,099 rebounds and 3,026 assists.

You already know my question. So here we go, i honestly don't know. LET ME REPHRASE THAT my team would definitely win, but this one won't be easy. This might be the best…
