NEW YORK — If Shaquille O’Neal isn’t getting in at least his 5,000 steps a day, the four-time NBA champion admittedly feels a little lazy. According to O’Neal — who has been a regular Garmin smartwatch wearer — he wishes he had access to wearable devices now on the market during his 19-year career, maybe similar to how Minnesota Timberwolves forward Zach LaVine or Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes have leveraged Fitbit.
“The Garmin’s the best (wearable) because their watch battery lasts about three weeks. … When you get to 5,000, it vibrates and gives you little bubbles.
