I put Shaq up there with Keanu and Conan. I hope to never hear anything negative about them. If there is, just lie to me.

Shaq is one of the OG fantastic people in the world.

“One of our best values here in America is free speech. We’re allowed to say what we want to say and we are allowed to speak out on injustices and that’s just how it goes,” O’Neal said during a panel discussion. “If people don’t understand that, that’s something they have to deal with.”

“I just thought it was unfortunate for both parties, and then you got people speaking when they don’t know what they’re talking about. But Daryl Morey was right,” Shaq added. “Whenever you see something wrong going on anywhere in the world, you should have the right to say ‘that’s not right,’ and that’s what he did.”

I've heard that he is a flat earther.

How? Surely he can see the curvature of the earth from up there?

If I were Shaq, I'd ask myself how they could afford to mass manufacture shoes to sell at $15-$29 and make a profit. But I'm not Shaq, so I'm just guessing he isn't looking too closely at how the sausage is made.

This is not new, it’s the same story we’ve heard for years. If you’re not familiar with the story it’s not a bad read but if you are you can skip it.

She had to complain to Shaq because she knew MJ would say fuck them kids
