Some of y'all don't know what embellishment is. He's not lying, he's just telling a true story that's clearly exaggerated a bit so he can flatter his bro Yao Ming.
That would be a HORRIBLE boring story to MAKE UP lmao he said “thank man” or some shit that is not a story worth making up lmao especially when the point of it is Shaq was kinda racist lmao he just assumed his dude couldn’t speak English and never learned living in America
Yao never took time off and dedicated himself to the Chinese league as well. All that time putting in the work caught up to him. What a shame, things might have turned out much different.
Love the fact of how Shaq switch from a joke to "he was a great player" and see how Yao humble down his face too - that is a world class athlete right there
Yao is my second favorite player ever, what truly could have been if he didn't get injured so many times. People say he was only good cause he was tall, watch his fucking film and you'll see how truly great he was. The touch of a feather 7 ft and in, the smooth footwork, the fluid jump shot from 10-15 feet. this man would have been as good in today's NBA as he was when he played
Shaq, I'm in the same boat as you, man. I've known who Yao is for years and I had no idea he spoke English. But I don't watch basketball so that's probably why 😂
yao's version is that once he praised oneal for one shot he said that was a nice move man, and o neal said hold on u speak English? and yao said u never talk to me ofc i speak English.
