Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5366154, member: 6357"] This is wild. Shaq has been a mentor to Naheem. Pretty cool for the kid. NM: Sometimes if I don’t have anything to do, I’ll play the game and I’ll turn the commentary all the way down and I’ll just do commentary and it’s just super funny. I definitely talk to Shaquille O’Neal a lot. He told me that if I wanted to do sports commentary, I could kind of have that in the back of my head. DD: Okay, wait a minute. You regularly talk to Shaquille O’Neal? NM: Yeah, that’s my guy. I played against his son Shareef in high school and ever since then we became really close. So, I’m like super close to his family and stuff. DD: How often do you speak with him? NM: Pretty often. I go to him about life lessons and advice, you know, how he made it and whatnot. So he’s like, I gotta just be mean. Like, I could be nice off the court, but just be mean on the court. [/QUOTE]
