The Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal declares that he is stepping away from being a public figure.
He expresses his concern about individuals reaching a certain level of fame, which often leads them to believe they are more intelligent, superior, and larger-than-life compared to others.
O’Neal emphasizes that he has never aspired to adopt such an attitude.
“A lot of these people, when they come to a certain status, it automatically gives them the right to think they’re smarter than you, they’re better than you, they’re bigger than you, and I never wanted to be like that,” O’Neal said.
