Shaq Calls Himself “The Black Michael Phelps”

Tue,October 7, 2008 · 1 Comment

Some of you may be looking forward to Shaquille O’Neal’s retirement. I, however, am not.

I’ll be enjoying every minute of the final two years (?) because of sound bites like this. Interviewed yesterday about Phoenix Suns training camp in Tucson, Shaq shares that some members of the University of Arizona women’s swim team challenged him to a race.

“I told her I was the black Michael Phelps.”

No report on whether Shaq won the race, but I’d pay good money to see O’Neal attempting the butterfly.

    The swimmers claimed he didn’t show up to the pool. Shaq said he showed up two days in a row and there was no one there haha. I can just see him now, in a pool with a glass of lemonade and a giraffe inner-tube around his waist.
