basketball player that does business; I’m a businessman who also plays basketball. I always tell my children, you ain’t got to play [sports], you ain’t got to sing, you ain’t got to do anything but get an education. [Pursuing entertainment] is fine, but you won’t touch any of it until you get an education. I hope that sticks with them.

You can catch Shaq as an NBA commentator for TNT and pick up his autobiography Shaq Uncut: My Story here.
