Shaquille O'Neal has brought out his much-loved 'DJ Diesel' persona once again after getting on the decks at a New Year's Eve party in Miami. The NBA great, 52, sent the crowd wild as he threw down the late-night set at E11EVEN Miami alongside his 27-year-old son Myles.
Shaq could be seen hyping up partygoers with some electronic and dubstep tunes throughout the early hours of the morning, having arrived at the venue at 2:30am and taken to the stage half-hour later. He kicked things off with Rufus Du Sol's 'Innerbloom' and got the crowd going with 'Put up your middle fingers, Miami!' before Myles took over at 4:30am.
O'Neal, whose future as a member of popular basketball show 'Inside The NBA' remains unclear, recently revealed that becoming a DJ and performing at live concerts saved him after he retired from the sport. The former LA Lakers center has enjoyed a massively successful post-basketball career as an analyst and entrepreneur.

Shaq recently revealed that becoming a DJ saved him after he retired from basketball in 2011. However, it was his time behind a DJ booth that truly gave him that same feeling as being on the court. 'I started DJing because it gives me the same adrenaline boost that a championship game would give me,' O'Neal told PEOPLE earlier this year.
