Shaq O’Neal Undergoes Successful Hip Surgery
NBA Icon Shaquille O’Neal Recent Had A Successful Hip Surgery
O’Neal is regarded as one of the greatest basketball players and centers of all time. He is a 7-foot-1-inch (2.16 m) and 325-pound (147 kg) center who played for six teams over his 19-year career in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and is a four-time NBA champion.
