[@shaqitup]

Farmer Ted Not really, he insinuated that Phil smokes weed ors omething like it, I don't remember what he said negatively about kobe besides he pushed him out of LA, and he said "okay DICK" or something along those lines. They were just small jokes to guys he was overall being respectful to. In a roast situation he would mention Kobe being a rapist, how bad his last season was, how lebron is better etc. For phil he would make fun of his relationship with jeanie bus, and the dogshit job he's been doing in New York.

We just sat there and listened to some of his music and he spoke with us and he was the coolest person I've ever met.

Here I am realizing Kobe can't joke about him and Shaq's good times on his Hall of Fame speech anymore. RIP Kobe. We'll always love you💜💛

Shaq is the grandpa we all wish we had.

'Shaq Diesel' in action. What a legend. How can you not like this guy.....

[@dakbassett]

The humor Shaq brings into his speech is what sets him apart from the rest. 30 min speech and breaking it up with laughter makes it so easy to listen too.

“❤️ these GREAT ambassadors.” ~ Shaq the BIGGEST court-comedian ever. ~

[@samonn7350]

Shaq all jokes, AI all emotional and YOA sound like he still in ESL class. I can't wait for Brian scalabrine to be up there.

[@AndyClarke-rv9pm]

I think I've watched this a dozen times over the years. You can't give a better speech. He's classy, hilarious, and even humble. I'll probably watch it a dozen more times the next few years.

[@watdaification]

The amount of respect he has for Yao is just awesome. Sad that injuries had to cut their rivalry short
