Inside Shaquille O'Neal's Grand 50th Birthday Celebration In Miami: Report

Shaquille O'Neal celebrated his 50th birthday with his family and friends during a lavish party in Florida over the weekend.

The NBA legend's friends packed the Miami steakhouse Prime 112 for the huge bash celebrating O'Neal's milestone birthday, Page Six reported.

Among those who were present at the party were TNT co-host Ernie Johnson, Authentic Brand Group's Corey and Jamie Salter and Adam Richman, the producer of Super Bowl weekend bash "Shaq’s Fun House," according to the outlet.

O'Neal also received well-wishes via video from celebrity pals, including Dwyane Wade, Kevin Hart, Kenny Smith, Dr. J and Ludacris.

"I wish I could give you 50 Krispy Kreme donuts, I know that would be the perfect gift for you," former Heat star Alonzo Mourning said in a clip for O'Neal, who has owned a number of Krispy Kreme franchises and is the global face of the brand.

O'Neal's fellow "Inside the NBA" analyst Charles Barkley, meanwhile, praised his pal in another video, saying, "You've got one of the best hearts of all the guys I have ever worked with."

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry also wished O'Neal a happy birthday. "I know you're the busiest man in showbiz in the world of sports, but take your time to celebrate another year on this earth," Curry said.

O'Neal is a regular at Prime 112, which is a popular choice among celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian and Alex Rodriguez, the outlet noted.

The restaurant, which was closed to the public for the night, was decorated with decades' worth of memorabilia as a tribute to O'Neal, according to the outlet.

All the furniture in the restaurant was reportedly cleared out for O'Neal's birthday bash, except his favorite table.

"The walkway into the party was covered with large scale blow ups of every 'Sports Illustrated' cover Shaq was ever on," an unnamed witness told Page Six.

All the waiters also received special Reebok sneakers to wear for the event, according to the source. This was a reference to the basketball legend's long relationship with the company, which he now owns a chunk of.

The windows of the steakhouse were covered with Shaq-themed items, while his birthday cake was shaped like a Pepsi can, another nod to his many corporate ties.

After starring in Pepsi's Super Bowl XXVIII commercial in 1994, O'Neal has maintained his ties with the brand through the years. He was also part of Pepsi Stronger Together — the brand's series of grassroots initiatives that aim to bring tailored programming and support to communities across the country.

"It has been wonderful to be involved with Pepsi Stronger Together to help enrich communities around the country," O'Neal said in a press conference in 2021. "As a resident and Director of Community Relations of Henry County, I care deeply for the Atlanta community. It is important to me to help strengthen the relationship between local law enforcement and the community with The CTG Foundation's de-escalation training and to support those in need with the renovations at A Friend's House and Haven House shelters."

O'Neal re-shared some clips of his birthday celebration from his guests' posts via his own Instagram Stories. The former pro athlete was all smiles in the videos.
