Grant Hill is revealing deep sh*t! He spilled the tea on the nasty moment between Shaquille O’Neal and Jason Richardson in the showers. According to Hill via Side Action;
“I remember one time, man, Shaq. So bad I can’t repeat this, man. We in the showers after practice, and he goes to J-Rich:’ J-Rich, you got a fat ass, man.’ I’m like, how do you come back? What does J-Rich do, man? Shaq was just funny, nasty, crazy.”
JRich probably didn’t appreciate that type of compliment from Shaq while he’s naked in the shower.
But that’s just who Shaq was, he truly is one of a kind.
Shaq has all types of crazy stories.
The 2000s version of the Lakers was one of the most dominant teams in the NBA, so it isn’t surprising that someone was going to be shooting their shot when their paths crossed. Shaq, who was married then, had no qualms about telling the rest of the team, including Kobe, that they better not shoot the ball because he wanted to put on a show for Halle.
Interestingly enough, talking in an interview, O’Neal revealed a hilarious story. While the team played in the Madison Square Garden, Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry decided to pay a visit.
O’Neal was so enthralled to see her that he actually called for a timeout! During the timeout, he issued strict instructions to his teammates not to shoot the ball. The reason being? He wanted to be the star of the show!
Shaq said, “We had our differences. He wanna shoot and I’m like don’t shoot, throw it to me. True story. We in Madison Square Garden, I’m at the free-throw line. Halle Berry is walking down the steps. I had to call a timeout. ‘Hey Halle here to see me, don’t nobody shoot that motherf*cker other than me.’ Kobe, nobody. Shoot that sh*t and see what happens.“
Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal set the league on fire during their time in the NBA. They led the Los Angeles Lakers to 3 titles in 2000, 2001, and 2002. O’Neal won the Finals MVP award in each of them.
To end the story, let’s just say Halle was a little more interesting in Kobe than Shaq.
