His fellow Lakers teammate, Kobe Bryant, was also made into a Minifigure. He voiced himself in The LEGO Movie. His future teammates on the Miami Heat, Antoine Walker and Gary Payton were even made into minifigures, all of who helped the Heat win their first NBA championship in 2006.

The LEGO Movie[]

In The LEGO Movie, Shaquille O'Neal (alongside NBA Player 1 and NBA Player 2) is among the Master Builders that meet in Cloud Cuckoo Land. His minifigure was black, and NBA Player 1 and NBA Player 2 were both yellow (rather than just being white). This is also how the actual minifigures are in real life. Shaquille attempts to stop the Robo SWATs with a basketball catapult, which doesn't work. He is then captured and put in one of Lord Business' Think Tanks, but is later freed by Emmet.

Notes[]

  • The fact that he was directly addressed by Superman may be a reference to Shaq playing the role of Superman's substitute/ally Steel in the character's live-action film.
