A revived Shaquille O?Neal has been working hard to drop weight.  He has already lost 24 pounds decreasing his mass down to 331.  He averaged around 350 over the past couple of seasons.

Shaq?s goal has been set at 325, which now seems very reachable.

"I've always been the type of player to do what I'm told to do," he said of the weight loss. "The Lakers wanted me to lift (and build muscle mass). I'll be 325 or below when I report to camp."
