NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal will play the role of DJ Diesel at concerts in San Antonio and El Paso next year. The El Paso performance is slated for 17 September 2026. O'Neal has also talked about LeBron James’ upcoming NBA team following James’ eight-season stint with the Los Angeles Lakers. Away from the court, he has picked up a customised 1964 Chevrolet Impala boat, his first entirely custom vessel of that model. Fans are keen to see how the former centre will mix tracks with his larger-than-life personality. The boat, a 1964 Chevrolet Impala model, has been fitted with state‑of‑the‑art sound equipment for boat parties. Shaq suggested that the vessel could host a floating DJ set during the warm months.
