March 9, 2004 -- Just when you thought Shaquille O’Neal couldn’t get any bigger ... he did. On Saturday, Shaq, along with celebrity friends that included Ruben Studdard, unveiled a giant, 40-foot neon sign of himself in uniform -- not the Kazaam outfit -- that will permanently hang outside of the newly opened TEAM L.A . sports merchandise store at Universal Studios CityWalk.

The event also marked the Diesel’s 32nd birthday and gave fans a chance to come out and show their support (and sing Happy Birthday) to their favorite superstar.
