Shaq

Fans looking for pregame entertainment before the Super Bowl will have another option this year

It’s been nearly a year since Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, died in a helicopter crash, and his longtime friend Shaquille O’Neal can hardly believe that the time has passed so quickly.

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal announced Tuesday that his fourth annual “Shaq’s Fun House” will be held Jan. 31. The event is part carnival, party and music festival. Artists set to perform feature a Miami connection and include Pitbull, Diddy and Tiesto, along with Diplo, Carnage and Shaq as DJ Diesel.

With less than 3 months till the Super Bowl, South Florida is getting ready for the event.

Retired NBA legend and current auxiliary deputy Shaquille O’Neal, who helped the Miami Heat win a championship, met with Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony.

He’s known by many nicknames, such as “Big Aristotle,” “Superman,” “Diesel,” or simply by “Shaq,” but retired NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has a new one: “Deputy Shaq.”
