Former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal is coming to Gallagher-Iba Arena on Tuesday as a speaker.

Oklahoma State University's Student Government Association Speakers Board is hosting O'Neal at 7 p.m.

O'Neal will talk about his life and how he has overcome obstacles on and off the court. The NBA legend also will participate in a moderated question-and-answer session.

Questions are being accepted on Twitter at @ShaqToOkstate and, time permitting, O'Neal will take questions from the audience.

General admission tickets are $10 at the door. OSU students and faculty get in free with a valid campus ID.

During O'Neal's 19-year NBA career, he was a 15-time All-Star and was a member of four championship teams. After retiring in 2011, O'Neal joined fellow NBA great Charles Barkley as an analyst for TNT's "Inside the NBA."

Speakers Board is a student-run branch of the OSU Student Government.
