Retired NBA player-turned-TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal provided insights into his recent achievement of losing 55 pounds in weight. Currently, he tips the scales at 351 pounds, but he continues his efforts to further reduce his weight.
“I’m probably gonna get between 315 and 330,” the Los Angeles Lakers legend told “Entertainment Tonight,” adding that he wants to eventually “have a 12-pack.”
“I’ve got a five-pack now, so I’ve got seven more packs to go because I want to take my shirt off on Instagram,” O’Neal joked.
The reserve police officer mentioned that his difficulty in ascending stairs served as the catalyst for embarking on his recent weight loss journey.
“I was getting chubby and couldn’t even walk up the stairs. I didn’t like the way I looked in the mirror. I was like, ‘I’m gonna lose 20,’ and then I was trying to lose 20,” he said.
O’Neal recently took to social media to share a video of his progress. An Instagram video showed the Pro Basketball Hall of Famer ripping off a tank top and flexing his muscles.
