Me Too

I'd seen Shaquille O'Neal give this talk about those who helped him become one of the top players in NBA history but had forgotten about it until running across this today.  It occurred during the NBA All-Star Break when the NBA named the top 75 players in its history.  Shaq is always fun to listen to and quite an interesting guy.

In fact, the entire NBA on TNT show is a hoot to watch.  Ernie Johnson tries to keep Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley under a semblance of order while Kenny Smith provides informed commentary and it's evident they are all having as much fun as the viewers.  Barkley is also a fascinating character.  This is a video of when he showed unexpectedly at the funeral of his friend Lin Wang in Iowa City and gave an impromptu eulogy and here is the touching story behind it, as told by Lin's daughter.
