Santa came early for NBA legend Shaquille O’Neill this year.
In honor of his nickname “Diesel”, Shaq got a special gift from the Miami Heat during his jersey retirement ceremony on Thursday — a custom built mini-semi.
Even better? Shaq’s mom Lucille (sort of) drove the mini truck out onto the court during the ceremony. Shaq seemed pretty excited about the whole thing.
