Shaquille Rashaun O'Neal (born March 6, 1972), nicknamed "Shaq”, is an American former professional basketball player who is a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA on TNT. Standing 7 ft 1 in (2.16 m) tall and weighing 325 pounds (147 kg), he is one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. Throughout his 18-year career, O'Neal has used his size and strength to overpower opponents for points and rebounds. After the retirement of Lindsey Hunter on March 5, 2010, O'Neal became the oldest active player in the NBA. Following a standout career at Louisiana State University, O'Neal was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the first overall pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He quickly became one of the top centers in the league, winning Rookie of the Year in 1992–93 and later leading his team to the 1995 NBA Finals. After four years with the Magic, O'Neal signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers. He won three consecutive championships, playing alongside Kobe Bryant, in 2000, 2001, and 2002. O'Neal's relationship with Bryant eventually declined into a feud, leading to O'Neal's trade to the Miami Heat in 2004. A fourth NBA championship followed in 2006. Midway through the 2007-2008 season he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. After a season-and-a-half with the Suns, O'Neal was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he played alongside LeBron James in the 2009–10 season. O'Neal played for the Boston Celtics in the 2010–11 season. O'Neal's individual accolades include the 1999–00 MVP award, the 1992–93 NBA Rookie of the Year award, 15 All-Star game selections, three All-Star Game MVP awards, three Finals MVP awards, two scoring titles, 14 All-NBA team selections, and three NBA All-Defensive Team selections. He is one of only three players to win NBA MVP, All-Star game MVP and Finals MVP awards in the same year (2000); the other players are Willis Reed in 1970 and Michael Jordan in 1996 and 1998. He ranks 5th all-time in points scored, 5th in field goals, 12th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks. In addition to his basketball career, O'Neal has released four rap albums, with his first, Shaq Diesel, going platinum. He has appeared in numerous films and has starred in his own reality shows, Shaq's Big Challenge and Shaq Vs.

Workers at the Tulsa Oil Company are reluctant to join the Company's baseball team due to its previous unsuccessful seasons, and this is why they didn't participate in last 4 seasons. When George mentions, he wants to be in team for new season, his co-workers and friends Ricky, Reggie, Lou, Ty, Mike, Ernie, Pete, Warren, Sandy, Wesley, Sam, Nolan, Tristram, Hank, Roberto, Carl, Stan and Garry eagerly join the team. At the start they are loosers, nobody believes them, and they lost first two matches, it looks like another sparsely attended losing season, but everything has changed when they won another 5. They are becaming unstoppable and celebrating every victory in pub named Duke's. Their matches are sold out, the whole city supports and cheers them on. For Tulsa and all the citizens, these players are heroes who can finally break the curse and bring the first title in history to the Tulsa. They enjoy an undefeated season and earn a spot in the championship game, named Oil-State Bowl, against the Oklahoma City. Joe Wagner, boss of Tulsa Oil Company, makes a 4 million-dollar bet with Pontus Klingberg, owner of the Oklahoma City Company, that his team will win. With the score tied and bases loaded with two outs in the ninth inning, Wagner sends George on bat. George hits the ball and the ball flies out of the park. The team wins the title and George is a hero.
