Watching live coverage on nba tv. How many times is shaq going to say, "You Know."

He's never been a good speaker tbh. Ever. The combination of his inability to form complete, coherent sentences and his low, graggly voice make it hard to even comprehend what he's saying sometimes. But, he's a big personality and he's entertaining none-the-less. Plus, he's a Spurs supporter, so I don't mind it.

From Shaquille O’Neal’s biography Shaq Talks Back:

To me, pressure is where your next meal is coming from. So while I wasn’t under any real life pressure to win a title, I knew it was gonna be hard to win it. I knew that everything had to be right, especially with Tim Duncan and the Spurs ready to defend their championship.

A lot of people believed that’s what motivated me, because people were saying Duncan was the best player in the game. That wasn’t it. Would they ever give me that title? Probably not. Tim has a nice all-around game. My game is more dominant in the middle. But there was an ego aspect to my desire to win a title, and it had nothing to do with Tim.

I’m thinking, Punk-ass David Robinson got one before I did? That made me really mad. Oh, man. David Robinson had a ring before me. I’m crushed and I’m hurt.

Me and Dave have history. I looked up to him when I was at Cole High in San Antonio, and he was just starting out with the Spurs. I was a player-of-the-year for my high school. He was player-of-the-year for the Spurs. One time I asked him for an autograph.

He wrote his name real quick and was like, “Yeah, come on, hurry up.” He kind of dogged me out. He was my favorite player. That’s OK. I said to myself, “When I see you, I’m gonna get you.”


THATS WHY I HATE SHAQ BECAUSE HE LIED ABOUT THIS STORY!!

As many times as Tony says "definitely" in a typical interview. :)

As many times as Tony says "definitely" in a typical interview. :)

That's just being confidently assertive.

Charles just went off on the possibility of Melo going to the Heat tbh with Adam Silver sitting right next to him.
