The Lakers legend is down to 351 pounds, but he's not done just yet.
is determined to get his body back to championship-caliber level. And when he gets there, the Hall of Famer will party like it's 2006.
Before sharing where he wants to get, Shaq first travels down memory lane. He says he weighed 345 pounds when he won his first NBA championship with the Lakers in 2000. He came in at 375 pounds the following year when the Lakers captured their second consecutive NBA title, and he was 395 pounds when he and the late Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to their third straight NBA title in 2002.
From there, Shaq kept pushing the goal, all the while drastically changing his eating habits. He jokes that he currently owns a"a little 4.9 pack" but the goal is to get"an eight pack.". He shared that he'd lost 40 pounds at that point, with plans to lose more after getting some revealing blood work back, which prompted him to not only get a checkup but get on a clean diet.
He continued,"Plus the supplements I'm taking, and the shakes I'm drinking, the weight just fell off. I'm not at 100 percent ninja mode yet. I'm still 75 percent."
