A story about Shaquille O'Neal
He’s cool!
Professional basketball player. Arguably the most dominant player ever to play the game. Also an actor and rapper, though with significantly less talent in these areas.
Met him at a nightclub (I was doing security). Not nearly as fat-lookin as he appears on tv. He is, however, atleast as amiable and personable as he appears on tv. Real nice, cool dude.
And shit, yeah, he’s a looong drink of water (I almost reached his chest, and I’m 6’ tall).
When playing for LSU Shaq used to frequent the area I was staying in. I met the big guy eating a custom built sandwich from a seafood place down the road. It’s hard to see him smile and not really like the guy, though with the attention he got (even back then) I thought it best to just let the guy eat. Still wish I would have gotten his autograph or something. ;)
