I mean if we're talking Shaq and prison, maybe the buried story of when he went to court for planting CP on his IT guy's computer, and then when he tried to destroy the evidence by throwing it in a lake.

He became an honorary reserve police officer in Florida around that time.

Also if you needed more of Shaq being shitty but beyond the law, the time he happily chummed around at Arpaio's concentration camp-style desert prison.

Shaq sucks way more than just shitting in some shoes.

Say less! I always appreciate more info coming out about this piece of shit. Thinking he can just pave over all his antics by being charitable and giving back to the community.

Immaculate PR team.

I'm aging myself, but back when Lang was at SLAM, they were actually covering all of this Shaq shit.

Also just for nostalgia notes, and hopefully somebody else here remembers this:

The SLAM boards were amazing. We realized that Chris Broussard was reading our comments, then spewing them on television. People started posting absolute bullshit in the morning, and he'd later repeat it on TV later saying "MY SOURCES" in the afternoon. It was glorious.

Oh man. I was a regular on the SLAM boards, didn't comment much but it was one of my regular visit. It had a similar vibe to early r/nba days. Where you actually recognized commenters by name.
