STANDING at 216cm tall and weighing close to 150kg, Shaquille O’Neal has never been one to fly under the radar.

Yet if his sheer size doesn’t attract enough attention, he is sure to put himself in a controversial situation sooner or later. O’Neal’s retirement has been full of questionable incidences and his latest one is a cracker.

The four-time NBA champion has revealed he is a ‘9/11 truther’.

A recent post on his personal website has suggests he does not buy into the alleged story the media and United States officials have portrayed in the 14 years since the most horrific terrorist attack on American soil.

In O’Neal’s post, he references a video showing flight 175 crashing into the South Tower, which apparently shows “two impossibilities” supporting the conspiracy theory that the attack on the World Trade Centre may have been an “inside job.”

Shaq’s post received a lot of heat on social media, with a number of angry fans disappointed at the former NBA All Star for re-sparking a very touchy subject.

One fan on Twitter summed up the whole thing pretty well.

The post has since been removed from O’Neal’s website.
