National Basketball
Association or NBA former famous professional basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal
admitted in a podcast (The Big Podcast With Shaq) that he is a serial cheater
and that cost him to lose time with his children.
His admission came up upon
the topic about the suspension of Boston Celtic head coach Ime Sunday Udoka for
a reported affair.
He
said “ I was a serial cheater…. It would be crazy and blasphemous for me to get
up here saying boom, boom, bam. I can't do that. I know these guys personally.
I know they're going through a lot because I went through a lot ... I did it. I
was the best at it. I'm not proud of it. I lost my family doing it. I lost
valuable, important years with my children doing it…."The happiest days of
my life were coming home and hearing six different people saying, 'Daddy,
daddy, daddy,'" O'Neal said. "Happiest days of my life. Forget the
money, forget the cars, even the championships. Especially when they were
little and 2 [years old] and 3 and didn't really care that I missed 10, 15 free
throws. They're waiting for me after games. 'Daddy, can we go to Universal?'
Those were the best days of my life……"When I lost those — not gonna use
the 'D' word, because I know a lot of people are suffering — but I was all the
way down. Sometimes I'm still all the way down. Especially when I was in my
house in Orlando, which is 70,000 square feet, in there by myself. Nobody. Like
I built a house for the kids — gym, game room, pool house, guest house for the
mom, and all that. When I lost all that by being stupid, it killed me…….."I
was bad. She (his former wife Shaunie Henderson) was awesome,… "It was all me. We don't need to talk
about what I was doing, but I wasn't protecting her and protecting those vows.
Sometimes you live that double life and get caught up. I'm not going to say it
was her. It was all me…"I may not be a husband, but I'll always be a
father, and a father's job is to protect, provide and love,..”
