The renowned basketball player, hailing from Newark and standing an impressive seven feet and one inch tall, has achieved a Hall of Fame career with four NBA titles. In the photo, he can be seen connected to medical equipment, prompting speculation about his condition. O’Neal accompanied the image with a caption that humorously mentioned missing his colleagues @TurnerSportsEJ and @Candace_Parker, leading to an influx of comments from worried followers.
However, O’Neal later decided to unveil the actual reason behind his hospitalization in his own unique style. He playfully joked that he was undergoing a “BBL treatment,” which amusingly stands for “Brazilian butt lift,” eliciting laughter from many.
“First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to all the concerned individuals,” began Shaquille O’Neal in his Instagram post on March 20. “And let me assure you, I’m absolutely fine. I recently underwent some BBL work, which stands for #hipreplacement. Rest assured, there’s no need to worry.”
As expected, his statement brought about amusement among many of his followers. “Lol! Sending my best wishes for a speedy and healthy recovery,” commented one fan. Meanwhile, another cleverly dubbed the NBA player “Cheekquille O’Neal.”
It’s worth mentioning that O’Neal successfully shed a significant amount of weight after a close friend confronted him about his physique.
With an illustrious career, he has undeniably cemented his status as one of the most remarkable athletes in history. We send our heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery.
