35 athletes who can help you survive a zombie apocalypse

11. Shaquille O’Neal
Why wouldn’t you want to have the Shaq Attack as a part of your zombie survival arsenal? In all honesty, having a giant like Shaquille O’Neal on the time could be very beneficial. Say you need to reach something in a high spot, but it’s just outside of your grasp. Situations like these are perfect when you have a buddy like Shaq on the team.
Shaq moves pretty fast for a big man, and has a lot of strength to match. It’s what has made him a legend of the NBA and one of the most famous basketball players of all time. Sure, he never really could master the art of the free throw. But it’s not like that would be relevant in the apocalypse. What would matter is how quickly he could move and how strong he is, which isn’t too big of a problem with Shaq.
Let’s also keep in mind that the big guy is over seven feet tall and 325 pounds. That makes him one of the heaviest players to ever compete in the NBA. You’re not going to come across many people capable of taking him on in a fight. Nor would you find many who’d even want to try.
