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.

Wrong generation ok boomer?

[@Jon.A.Scholt]

"Luke and Laura forever by the way" is the funniest thing I've ever heard Shaq say. I can't wait to show this to my mom and sister who would always watch that show after school in the late 80s/early 90s.

[@unceasinglotus9370]

I wonder how stupid Shaq's real dad feels

[@Earuto4]

Shaq is actually starting to form a real relationship with him. His dad was going through drug abuse problems and was in and out of jail. His Mom didn't want him around that so they moved to his grandmother, her mother's home.

[@ballinboxer3676]

Edub Shaq has said multiple times that his father is Sgt. Harrison. He has talked to his biological father but nothing more than that.

[@elchoppa2346]

thats his step dad i called my step dad dad to cause he raised me

[@SpookyCheeez]

And lebrons

[@TJ-nq5nt]

This man is a real class act! Not just from this, but from everything he does.

[@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.

[@moneymakingodie]

[@efisgpr]

YAO

[@cibida1]

+Omar Williams red rocket is Matt Bonner bruh

[@geoffreydy9739]

Scalabrine can't even make the HOF as a janotor

[@moneymakingodie]

My bad

[@kimehunt4501]

I hated Shaq when he came into the league. Disliked him when he won 3 rings in LA. Every year I hated him less and less until he retired. Since he doesn't play anymore I've grown to love this man. I love inside the NBA with him on it and love seeing him speak and how he interacts with fans.

[@glencoe428]

When Shaq was In LA i hated his guts too

[@benduffy6219]

Every time Shaq talks about his stepfather, I'm immediately on the verge of tears.

[@GoBirdsJB]

Loved the chronological order of his life achievements that Shaq gave. Very well presented speech.

[@ritty1777]

Who's here after Kobe just got inducted? RIP to a legend.

[@SheffKhalid]

Lost Soul the goat the improved Mj mr Kobe bean Bryant

[@silverfox389]

@CeeKay SCLA remind me how many 3s MJ made

[@silverfox389]

@CeeKay All Day funny how you didn't remind me of how many 3s MJ made

[@silverfox389]

@CeeKay All Day when did I say it was all about 3s? this was about Kobe improving upon MJ (adding 3s if your small brain couldn't comprehend that) not sure why you brought up Reggie but okay

[@alexknowles9443]

Forget basketball, how can you not like Shaq!...so humble and gracious!!!

[@MercilessOne]

So Phil Jackson used to hotbox and chill with his players? No wonder Kobe and MJ loved playing for him.

[@clydetheglidetop5sgtop10du7]

[@brandonb8157]

[@JMS1089]

[@CELLYgg]

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

Bruh he wouldn't have a mixtape if he wasn't Shaq's kid.

[@LaxBro11796]

+King Bradberry ?? every high school player has a mixtape..

[@nonyobussiness3440]

+King Bradberry the kid is amazing.

[@forc3ofxf3ar51]

[@Carlos-us2zc]

+Andy P. Right? Chris grow the fuck up

[@GirsGotGame]

russian soviet lmao nigga shut up

[@ocbb4441]

Damn we never gonna see Kobe’s speech now 😢 my heart hurts 😔

[@edgardo034]

Having watched this speech about 20 times, I have to say it’s the greatest NBA HOF speech ever…

[@Izak43]

There are few sports personalities like him. Always full of charm. He’s hilarious but carries himself with a lot of class. Super witty.

[@JahGuarrr]

Shaq is so accomplished off the court, I didnt know it stretched that far. Hes even more of an inspiration now than he was before to me.

[@nicksacco5041]

Bill russel is uncle drews dad

[@9erner]

Nick Sacco 😂😂😂😂

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

Big man with a Hall Of Fame heart. One of the best HoF speeches I've ever heard. He covered everything important without taking the credit! That's unconditional love for you. Its a rare act to follow! But he tries living it everyday. I hope his children carry on this legacy. They're beautiful.

[@MsRiven1]

Bill Russell look like he don't even know whats going on anymore

[@bobsingh5521]

LUC He still looked pissed off tho
