nobody knows I'm unemployed because I've got so much money

The NBA 2K League just got a little bit bigger. The Sacramento Kings’ squad — Kings Guard Gaming — announced on Monday, days ahead of the 2K League Draft, their general manager would be none other than Shaquille O’Neal.
Get ready NBA 2K League… I’m the new GM of @KingsGuardGG and we’re about to reign supreme!

Shaq has ties to the Kings, being a minority owner with the club, so it’s not a huge surprise to see the Diesel taking on a role with their eSports squad. It’s one of the few businesses Shaq doesn’t already have his hand in, and with the ever-growing popularity of eSports, it makes sense that Shaq would want to get in early with the 2K League.
“I’m looking forward to my role with Kings Guard,” said newly appointed Kings Guard GM Shaquille O’Neal. “Just like I dominated the hardwood, music industry, showbiz, nicknames and broadcasting, I plan to help build the most dominant 2K franchise in history.”
For those wondering what Shaq’s new role will require of him, we spoke recently with Grizz Gaming GM Lang Whitaker on the Dime Podcast, and he offered an overview of what a 2K League GM does on a day-to-day basis. It will be interesting to see how hands-on Shaq is, considering all his other interests and responsibilities, but if we know one thing about Shaq, it’s that he dives fully into new ventures.
I always thought things that sounded too good to be true usually aren't told why discovered this!
