Hello Blog World, I'm back with Shaq Talks Back blog number 10. Wow, It's been ten or eleven weeks and they just blew by. This will be my last blog of Shaq Talks Back, one because I only needed ten blogs and two I done reading. This was a interesting assignment to say the least and I'm happy to have read the book that I wanted to read and one not hand pick for me. I'm not saying hand picked is bad but this was a cool book on a great basketball player. Now lets get back into action, this blog will deal with a special section called Shaqfari, and chapter 12. Shaqfari is written by Shaq friend and talks about Shaq love of killing animals. I'm not talking about all animals, just the one for sport. His friend talks about Shaq being from Newark NJ and coming down to the outback for the first time and having a good time. One sad story is when Shaq dog will killed by alligator and had him cremated. Chapter 12 is about the aftermath of winning the championship and how he felt some of his rage was let go. The rest of the chapter deals with the future and what he wanted to accomplish. It's 2010 and this book was written in 2000-2001, so the future is now. Shaq wanted to win more than one championship and he did. Shaq has won four championship, three with the Lakers and one with the Miami Heat. He wanted to be know as a all-time great and he is already one of the best centers to play the game. He wanted to get married after his career, but he did it before hand and has great kids. He wanted to retire, when he was 35, he is 37 now and still playing. I like that I could compare, what he said then to what he's doing now. Shaquille O'neal is currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and is in his 17th year in the NBA. This is Gerard's World and I'm Out.
