Think what you will about the part 1. It was just an idea born of Shaq's absurd quotes.

As for the Nike video's, they are just a start. In this final post there will be more video's and pictures pertaining directly to the paper. Enjoy,
Shaq

This is Shaq's magnificent 64,000 square foot house mentioned in the paper. In the paper it says 17,000 but that is taken directly from the source I cited. As the 17,000 square foot home was sold I think the most logical explanation is that he had 2 homes. But I watched this cribs episode and it was insane. And it was the 64,000 squarefoot home I saw, just to be clear.

There are sections of the house that they didn't even use. Shaq said that sometimes he would walk into a room or section of the house and feel like he was somewhere else. The house was so big it was an adventure. Once you get bored with the 2,000 or so square feet you spend all of your time in you don't have to move! Just walk over to another side of the house and voila, a new home.

Clearly the square footage includes the tennis courts, basketball etc. but it's insane. Period.

The embedding option has been "disabled upon request," but here is the link to the Cribs video. Seven minutes long. Skip in 1 minute 40 seconds and it's right on Shaq's entrance. Take notice of the fingerprint scanner to get into his office. Crazy. And according to his wife he's a clean freak. Interesting.

Kobe Bryant




Here is a photo of Kobe Bryant's accuser in the 2003 case if you were curious to see it. Classy as she looks on the front of that dirty tabloid, but what do you expect? Personally I don't believe her for a second, not that he was in the right at all. He has a wife and a child! But I doubt if some young hotel worker would turn down sex with an NBA star of his stature. Call me cynical, or sexist haha. But my answer is guided ourely by logic. It just makes sense.


And Jordan!

As everyone will reiterate, Jordan was the man on the court. I can say, and this could be widely supported by video and just via stats. He was the best player the NBA has ever seen. I couldn't find single youtube videos to break down his dunks. Originally I wanted to have a top 5 list or something along those lines. In hindsight, this is probably better as they are all so good.

He was amazing.

Ignore the music if you want, but these moves are incredible.

I love how it's in top 10 and the announcers are right on. "This is Michael jordan at his best and there are very few people on this planet who can do this.


Here is Jordan's 60 Minute interview. It reveals his sportsmanship and outlook. Especially at the beginning as they discuss baseball. I think it's great to have such a contrast to Shaq's in your face, "I'm the best." "Call me Superman, etc." And I had no idea his father was robbed and murdered. Incredible information. so if you have a few minutes take it all in. He also touches on his gambling problem (or prior problem).

I also agree with the message Jordan wants to give to the public and I will repeat it. 'Look closer to home for your heroes, not just to superstars. "

So remember your stars and take a second to consider the WHY. Why do we watch these stars what is it?

My best guess?

They're human, just like you and me.
