Celebrity Shaquille ONeal sporting his Body Type Two (BT2) shape 
physique/figure while on holiday with friends and his girlfriend Dani Nicole. The full development of his vertebrae (posture) and 
muscles/muscle mass is debatable. He is showing signs of excess fat (being overweight) and slight hints of 
skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, crepey skin, normal weight obesity) on his lower back region and sides indicating a slightly underdeveloped lower thoracic and lumbar vertebra or two which directly correlates to the front abdominal/stomach area.
At his age, identifying his true body type can be more difficult and it is possible he is a Body Type One (BT1). One pound of muscle burns six calories per day, but one pound of skinny fat/fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and fat, the slower the metabolism). To that, metabolism has a strong tendency to slow with aging.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolic rate (BMR), and BMI matter, but so do genes/genetics/DNA. If he were to lose the excess fat weight, would it reveal that Shaquille O’Neal is actually a Body Type One? As he continues to age, it will interesting to see how well he maintains his body shape physique/figure.
