“I had six big macs one time in one sitting…fries, 20 nuggets, and a diet Pepsi.” During the episode of Inside the TNT, Shaquille O’Neal confessed his previous eating habits. Thanks to Charles Barkley’s question, “Most hamburgers ate?” And it seems another previous such habit of the 4x NBA champion is revealed.
