Diesel. Superman. The Big Aristotle. Shaq Fu. Known by a number of names (good or bad), there's a lot more to Shaquille O'Neal than just basketball. Whether rapping on five albums, challenging celebrities on his hit television show "Shaq Vs.," studying for his PhD or serving as a reserve police officer, there's no question that Shaq has led a unique life. And in his new autobiography, “Shaq Uncut: My Story”, he discusses his journey, including candid thoughts on teammates and coaches like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley.
On Kobe feeling that Shaq didn’t support him during his case in Colorado
Kobe stands up and goes face-to-face with me and says, 'You always said you're my big brother, you'd do anything for me, and then this Colorado thing happens and you never even called me.' I did call him.... So here we are now, and we find out he really was hurt that we didn't stand behind him. That was something new. I didn't think he gave a rat's ass about us either way. 'Well, I thought you'd publicly support me, at least,' Kobe said. 'You're supposed to be my friend.'
While most already know the back story, ‘Uncut’ is a decent read.
