    What other sports could he possibly play at his size other than that fake wrestling crap? He is too tall to be on the line for a football team. He's definitely not fast enough to be in the backfield. He could probably do a little sumo wrestling but I don't think thats his style.

    His father was in the military and his family spent a lot of time overseas. While in Germany, he learned how to play basketball. He probably didn't get much exposure to other American sports. My ex-husband's family was stationed in Germany and they played a lot of basketball and soccer. And they only had 1 TV station on base. Shaq probably found that he was good at basketball and he certainly has the height for it, so he probably stuck with it.
