You know him by any number of names, and chances are you know all about his legendary basketball career: Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal is a four time NBA champion and a three time NBA Finals MVP. After being an All-American at Lousiana State University, he was the number one draft pick by the NBA in 1992. 28,596 career points, 13,099 rebounds, 3,026 assists, 2,732 blocks, 4,146 fouls and 15 All-Star appearances. Six teams and four championships. These are statistics that are almost as massive as the man himself. His presence - both physically and psychologically - has made him a ruling force in the game for years.

But there is a lot more to Shaquille O'Neal than basketball.

Shaq is famous for his playful, sometimes provocative personality. He is outsize in both scale and persona. Whether acting in films like Kazaam, rapping on any of his five albums, challenging celebrities on his hit show "Shaq Vs.," studying for his PhD. or acting as a reserve police officer, Shaq has led a fascinating and rollicking life. In this candid new autobiography he discusses his colorful career, NBA victories, and his thoughts on major NBA names like Kobe Bryant, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley. From growing up in difficult circumstances and getting cut from his high school basketball team to his four NBA championships and recent retirement, Shaq discusses it all in Shaq Uncut: The Autobiography (Grand Central, $27.99).
