Life inside the NBA’s closed environment in Orlando means constant surveillance and medical checks. And sometimes wine. Lots and lots of wine.Yeah, but weirdly, I still thinklived it the right way. At Sports Illustrated we would talk about which athletes were “in on the joke.” Barry Bonds never saw how ludicrous it was he got paid millions to swing a wooden stick at a ball in his pajamas. Shaq was in on the joke, so he spent his off-seasons having fun.
I can’t tell you how many guys called him “the best teammate I’ve ever had.” Here’s a story that isn’t in the book: I met with him at the Turner Studios in Atlanta, and his daughter FaceTimed him. Shaq excused himself and turned away, but I heard his daughter talking about a friend’s mother who died. Shaq said he had to get back to the interview, but to let her friend know he would pay every funeral expense. It wasn’t for show; it’s who he is.
A thousand words.
Was this photo pre-rape?
The last era of real NBA basketball. Today the game is pitiful, as are the refs, & the pundits. So ashamed of paulpierce34 & ScottiePippen who out on an act as they talk about the “greatness” of this era. Shameful.
Quite the image of Shaq's manhood.
