Two NBA legends were recently in British Columbia, and they\u2019ve enjoyed vastly different experiences.<\/p>\n
While Steph Curry and his wife were kayaking through a remote part of the province<\/a>, Shaquille O\u2019Neal was immersed in a completely different vibe.<\/p>\n The former NBAer took over the Harbour Centre this weekend as DJ Diesel, as part of his summer tour. O\u2019Neal was filmed bouncing around while a sweaty-looking crowd at the Harbour Centre jammed to his tracklist.<\/p>\n So, how does a retired NBAer turned DJ get amped up before a night of performing in Vancouver?<\/p>\n By hanging out at a local hookah lounge, of course.<\/p>\n Before O\u2019Neal went to the downtown Vancouver venue, he visited Bula Hookah Lounge in North Burnaby.<\/p>\n It was a return visit to the venue, as he was apparently there last year during a visit to the city.<\/p>\n The four-time NBA champion is a noted hookah enthusiast. Back in 2022, former NBAer Charles Barkley said that O\u2019Neal likes to hang out at hookah bars<\/a> as opposed to drinking alcohol. Barkley also revealed that O\u2019Neal bought a hookah bar for his own relaxing leisure as well.<\/p>\n
