Shaquille O'Neal has almost done it all — he's hosted television shows, performed his original music for thousands of fans at festivals and won four NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, just to name a few of his accomplishments.

But O'Neal, 51, tells PEOPLE there are a couple of items left on his bucket list.

"I've mostly done everything that I've set out to do, but I would like to skydive," he says, adding that he already tried scuba diving and "didn't like that" because it was "very, very, very, very deep."

He continues, "I didn't like scuba diving. Skydiving would probably be next on the list. A lot of times, I just sit and think like, 'I want to do this, I want to do that.' So I think the next big thing that I would love to do is skydive."

O'Neal says he once inquired about skydiving but wasn't sure the parachutes could support his large frame. He explains, "My only fear is, can the parachute hold me? I went to one little class one time and the lady was like, 'How much do you weigh?' I was like, and at this time I was heavy, I was like, '400 lbs.' She was like, 'I think it goes up to 350. But my mom, she sews. She can sew two together.'"

The 7-foot-1 retired athlete jokes, "It'll be just my luck that mom didn't feel like sewing that day. And then I'll be all the way up there and then the thing just rips in half. So I want to make sure that everything's in order before I go up there."

Another item on O'Neal's bucket list: hiking Kilimanjaro. "I've thought about it, hiking up to that," says O'Neal. "But I'll probably have to get into tip, tip, tip, tip, tip-top shape to do that."

At 51, O'Neal says he's "still a kid at heart" and was inspired to skydive after watching people doing it on social media. "I always would follow these kids that skydive and jump out of planes, and I always wonder what I will feel if I can do that. So if I do anything out of this world, it would probably be that."

Luckily for O'Neal, he's getting to live out some of his wildest fantasies as Fantasy Lab Las Vegas' new Chief Fantasy Officer. "Fantasy Lab is one of my favorite places to go in Las Vegas," he says.

"It is a place that just helps you, I don't want to say fulfill your fantasy, but it just helps you elaborate more about your fantasy."

O'Neal adds, "When I first went in, I was like, 'I never knew this place was here.' And it was fabulous. And I gave them a call and said, 'Hey, can I be a part of this?' "

Now, the NBA legend has helped design seven immersive rooms that will offer visitors a glimpse into his own dreams and fantasies.

O'Neal loves the result of his Fantasy Lab rooms so much, he's hoping to preserve some of those fantasies for his own home. "I've always wanted to do something like this. I want to plan on doing a couple of rooms in my house like this, and I look forward to making this a go-to destination in Las Vegas."
