Shaquille O’Neal is determined to get his body back to championship-caliber level. And when he gets there, the Hall of Famer will party like it’s 2006.
Speaking to ET’s Nichelle Turner, the Los Angeles Lakers legend shares he’s lost a whopping 55 pounds. When the 51-year-old stepped on the scale the other day, he said he came in at 351 pounds. The four-time NBA champion has accomplished quite the feat, but the job’s not done.
Before sharing where he wants to get, Shaq first travels down memory lane. He says he weighed 345 pounds when he won his first NBA championship with the Lakers in 2000. He came in at 375 pounds the following year when the Lakers captured their second consecutive NBA title, and he was 395 pounds when he and the late Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to their third straight NBA title in 2002. After he was traded to the Miami Heat in 2004, Shaq got himself back into the best shape of his life, weighing in at a solid 315 pounds when he led the Heat to their first NBA title in franchise history in 2006.
So, the goal now?
“I’m probably gonna get between 315 and 330,” Shaq says.
He admits he sets “crazy goals” for himself, spurred at first by him getting “Charles Barkley, a.k.a. fat,” a playful jab, no doubt, at his “NBA on TNT” colleague and good friend. All kidding aside, Shaq shared the struggles that led him to walk a healthier path.
“I was getting chubby and couldn’t even walk up the stairs. I didn’t like the way I looked in the mirror,” he admits. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna lose 20’ and then I was trying to lose 20.”
From there, Shaq kept pushing the goal, all the while drastically changing his eating habits. He jokes that he currently owns a “a little 4.9 pack” but the goal is to get “an eight pack.”

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic As far as the-end-of-something symbolism went, this year’s Burning Man festival was about as sharp as it gets: A social-media optimized version of Woodstock ’99. Consider: The 2023 edition of the Black Rock Desert-based cultural festival in Nevada was disrupted by torrential rainfall that turned the sand of the “Playa” into quicksand-like mud — all of which cast into disarray not merely the planned revelry of dedicated “Burners” (who are only now making their exodus through traffic-clogged Nevada streets) but the downtime of various prominent celebrities.
