NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has done just about everything off the court — he’s been a broadcaster, DJ, actor, and businessman.
One of the few things he hasn’t attempted is coaching an NBA team — but the Big Diesel might consider the possibility for a hefty price.
On “The Big Podcast With Shaq,” he said he would coach the Lakers if they offered him $25 million per year for four years.
If the Lakers did offer Shaq, he wouldn’t even be the league’s highest-paid coach.
A salary of $6.3 million per year would make him just the 10th-highest-paid coach in the Association. Gregg Popovich ($11M), Doc Rivers ($10M), and Steve Nash ($8.7M) top the list.
Still, with a net worth of $400 million, money isn’t an issue for Shaq — but fixing the dismal Lakers could be tempting.
Perhaps the jokester should actually consider a coaching career after the TNT crew put lotion in his smoothie.
