Shaq is totally right for distancing himself from the celebrity world and his former NBA peers. He mentioned a while ago that he "denounced" himself from being a celebrity because he finds that circle "weird" and filled with "a-holes." Honestly, it’s refreshing to see someone with that much fame admit that the inner circle of elite athletes and stars can be toxic or fake. Most people spend their whole lives trying to get into those rooms, but Shaq is basically saying those rooms are full of people he doesn't even want to text back. It takes a lot of self-awareness to realize that your "peers" aren't actually your friends. Staying grounded and choosing peace over ego-driven social circles is the ultimate power move for a legend like him and shows true character. #culture #sports #psychology https://thoxt.com/l/WbaSvu 🔗
