Considered one of the greatest players in National Basketball Association history, Shaquille O'Neal has joined the likes of George Mikan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and David Robinson. Shaq now has his own Wheaties box. The new "Breakfast of Champions" box featuring Shaq's likeness was unveiled by the Maimi Heat center at the American Airlines Arena:
"And now my father's going to enjoy me being on the cover of the Wheaties box more than anybody. He always used to tell me, 'you listen to me, do what I tell you - you can be better than anybody in the world' and sometimes I didn't believe him, but I'm starting to believe him now."
In 1993, O'Neal was named N-B-A Rookie of The Year and has played in every all-star game since. He was named to the N-B-A All-Defensive Team in 2000, 2001 and 2003. He won three consecutive N-B-A titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and was named the "finals' most valuable player," all three times. The new Shaquille O'Neal Wheaties box will be available nationwide this week.
