Does Shaquille O’Neal have hair? Years ago, Dwyane Wade made a bet with the former NBA superstar on whether the Miami Heat or the Milwaukee Bucks would win the game. Unfortunately, Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat won that match.
As a result of losing this bet, O’Neill decides to accept D-Wade’s punishment. It simply revolved around growing his hair out as long as possible, as opposed to Shaq shaving as usual. The end result was so funny and disturbing that it begged the question: When exactly did he lose his hair and what does it look like?
Shaquille O’Neal has been bald since his early days in the NBA
It looks like most, if not all, NBA legends are suffering from receding hairlines and eventual baldness. From LeBron James to Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the list is endless and baldness seems to be a recurring theme.
Still, there’s no denying that Shaq has been bald for as long as we can remember. Therefore, it was necessary to visit the Internet’s archives to understand his transformation over the years. That way you have a clear picture of what happened.

As we can tell, Shaquille O’Neal definitely had hair all through school years as a kid. He quickly rose to prominence as an outstanding basketball talent. NBA fans will remember Shaq studying at Cole High School in San Antonio. There, he still had his hair and had it shaved off to show off the rest of his hair.

He did so throughout his career with several other teams, including the Boston Celtics. It is speculated that his hair loss has reached extreme levels. Therefore, he simply decided to shave it all off and stayed that way.
