From Booklist
Since the retirement of Michael Jordan, Orlando Magic center Shaquille O'Neal has been the primary weapon in the NBA's marketing arsenal. Only in his second year, O'Neal has tremendous potential, a pleasant demeanor, and a Schwarzenegger body on a seven-foot frame. He scores, rebounds, and swats away shots. but he doesn't win many games and didn't in college, either. Hunter, a journalist who covered Shaq's marginally successful career at Louisiana State, makes a lame attempt to generate controversy: Shaq has a temper; Shaq's dad is often overbearing and protective; Shaq gets mad at his dad; Shaq wants to be more independent. Hype aside, O'Neal seems to have the same problems that beset most any other young, sometimes immature male in modern America. The difference is he's rich and famous. Someday his athletic career may justify a biography. It doesn't yet, but that won't stop devoted Shaq fans, especially younger ones, from wanting to read this bloated magazine article. Wes Lukowsky
