The Lucid Air’s excellent legroom was not enough for Shaq.

Shaquille O’Neal ordered a custom coupe version of the electric sedan, equipped with floating Superman-logo center caps on the wheels and a front rebadge that replaces “Lucid” with “Diesel.”

He’s gifted his extra long legs with a custom-stretched Lamborghini before.

Along with bringing a key plays section to the Play-By-Play tab, the latest Apple Sports update adds pregame lineups for soccer and baseball games as well.
