Can Stevie Wonder really see? Know the answer from NBA legend Shaq O’Neal himself.
It is a well-known fact that Stevie Wonder is a legendary singer who is known all over the world. However, do you know that Stevie Wonder is blind?
Yes, Stevie Wonder is blind. Steveland Hardaway Judkins, popularly known as Stevie Wonder, was a premature baby by birth and turned blind due to medical complications. Because Stevie was a premature baby, he had to be incubated. The oxygen pumped in his incubator worsened the blood vessels in the back of his eyes, causing him to go blind.
Now, a few months ago, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal joked about Stevie Wonder’s blindness. What did he say? Let us know about it.
What did Shaquille O’Neal say about Stevie Wonder?
Los Angeles Lakers legend, Shaquille O’Neal once cracked a hilarious joke where he said that legendary singer, Stevie Wonder can actually see. Shaq told the joke by narrating a story of an elevator encounter between the pair.
While appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s show, Shaq told a humorous incident about how he met Stevie Wonder in the elevator of the building they both lived in; because of that particular incident, Shaq genuinely believes that Stevie Wonder isn’t actually blind.
“Listen. I’m saying we lived in a building together on Wilshere Boulevard. You used to have to drive underneath to the bottom to park your car. I am coming to the first floor that day, so it goes down first. Stevie got in, I’m standing in the corner and saying nothing. He looks at me and says, ‘what up, big diesel?’ He turned his head, hit his button, and got off.”
The elevator incident provided Shaq with a story of a lifetime and solidified his belief in Stevie Wonder’s ability to see.
