Much like in high school, O’Neal was nothing to toy with at LSU. Right out of the gate he rapidly became one of the nation’s best college ball players. Why did he choose LSU? His stepfather was stationed in Germany, and Shaq happened to meet the head coach there, building an early relationship.

While at LSU, he was SEC Player of the Year and an All-American two times. In 1991, he was the Men’s Basketball Player of the Year. With so much momentum, Shaq elected to leave college early and head for the NBA.
