Although Shaquille O’Neal has reached that Cher-esque level of notoriety where he’s really known by only one name — Shaq — he will never tell you he’s a “celebrity.” “You know why I had to denounce myself from being a celebrity about six, seven years ago? Celebrities are a------. They just are. I never want to be in that category,” the NBA Hall of Famer tellsPEOPLE, explaining that “a lot of these people, when they come to a certain status, it automatically gives them the right to think they're smarter than you, they're better than you, they’re bigger than you, and I never wanted to be like that.”
