I was at the Tiger one night in the early 90s standing outside when Shaq pulled up. He was in a black SUV. Both windows were rolled down and you could only see him through the back window. I didn’t walk up to get a closer look, but there was no way there was a back seat. It looked to me they had to remove the back seat and relocate the front seat further back. Some kind of customization happened. Stanley Roberts showed up that night too, in a car though. I didn’t see him pull up though. This was after they got drafted.

I met Ahnold in the spring of 1993 at his restaurant in Santa Monica. He looked like a fit tennis player and not that big at all. We shook hands and his grip was like any regular baw in Louisiana. He did have a very muscular Samoan looking body guard with him, twice his size but maybe 5'10". I returned a few times as the food was pretty good and bathrooms cleaner than a Buc-ees.

This doesn’t even touch on the OT worthy topic of how he and the girl friend manage things.



She has a tremendous work ethic and he sits there and says "Go Tiger".

In a related story, his little girlfriend was split in half last week...

At the Lod Cook at LSU, Shaq has a suite there that the bed and bathtub are specially made to accommodate his size.

Who doesn’t immediately think “how does it fit” or “how do they do it?”

His "program" height is 6'5" but compare him to Chuck in that pic and you can see there is a decent amount of fudging going on since Sir Charles's actual height is slightly under 6'5" although he was listed at 6'6" for most of his career.

It’s really shocking to go to the wax museum in pigeon forge and see that most celebrities are under 6’.

Except John Wayne and Clint Eastwood both of them are pretty y’all

Big show is a freak. Maybe the most athletic big man of all time.

You wouldn't see Shaq or yao going to the top rope. He's in better shape now than 20 years ago.
