Candace Parker Swears Off Shaq’s $27M Jet

Candace Parker, WNBA legend and Adidas Women’s Basketball president, recently recounted on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' her only experience flying on Shaquille O’Neal’s $27 million private jet. The flight, a post-shoot trip from North Carolina to Los Angeles, turned into a four-hour EDM party with Shaq DJing at full volume before he eventually fell asleep and snored louder than the music. The chaotic but humorous experience convinced Parker never to fly on Shaq’s jet again. Despite this, she emphasized that her friendship and mutual respect with O’Neal remain strong, both as co-analysts on TNT’s 'Inside the NBA' and off camera. Their playful banter and camaraderie continue to be a highlight for fans. The story has become a fan favorite, showcasing Shaq’s outsized personality and Parker’s sense of humor.
