Joining us on the AT&T outline the newly retired. Shaquille O'Neal Amare and Shaq John and Jerry in Boston how -- In order did Jerry are you Rhode Jarvis who were up just and a -- is this a happy day or a sad day for you. Little bootable. You know business was -- a focus people's organization pupils there. Treated me very very well. Gonna go a little more conservative than. You know for Marc was that would have been in the same situation. I was prepared so. Of those great businessmen listed vehicle you know because you know. So I assume your decision is based almost a 100% on your health or your lack of -- knew what to do about all over again. I don't want that the people local local investors were. And -- and says not quite so sure you -- done Shaq is this 100% certain we will never see you in uniform again. And how we're hopeful that. A the big question is where does Shaq appear in in what line on the mount Rushmore of big man in the NBA is that a question you wanna deal with -- You know I've ever really I really do the -- You know for me. From where I was comfortable. Possibly you know we'll probably use some internal -- in the instrument learn. When you block shots don't go off of -- knock -- -- about -- and then about the idea grip you'll also. They didn't dominate of these availability of these of the change tool for you look at it -- auction. No word from the jump over the resolution from the local court correctly you know from the government management tools and kept good -- Robert Hirsch. There you Chris Russo vocal -- one -- -- -- mentioned -- -- -- -- You know and and the names that are mention our guys who weren't exactly. What's the term looking for user friendly you work you had more fun you engage more people even in your short time in Boston getting out of Harvard Square into an all those kinds of things. Why did you take that approach Shaq. When people like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain and and Korean for that matter were more standoffish as seven footers who stood out in the crowd. Or warm if you know anything about me multnomah. Putrid and strategize about it. One of growing up -- is always a little afraid of people saw I didn't have a -- -- the other dribble and you know that's been mostly and so and they know that all of all of the -- well so. You know wondering coach notably those because we're so these detention centers in the region so. You know there's the first to do things because there's so much alone in the first statement that people can relate to people correct. -- -- are crippled there. And -- to loosen the presidency is as. Which uses which do. Obviously things worked out for about half the year here -- Q you guys were a 33 in ten when you've played. 21 minutes you guys were almost unbeatable what would have happened. Had you not gotten hurt. Our third recoup -- -- and still are about you know there is a fertile market reversed all the arts -- we'll call. Nobody bought me this is through through the field to work out. There were -- -- call everybody wanted to rematch. In the lakers in America are -- will be Baltimore with the spurs the spurs -- want to. So who wanted to get through my head in the open you don't have pretty much moved so about. You know do everything. And I mean everything and try to do that in no position losers were supportive. Those the wonderful you want to clear those with you know it's so ridiculous. Over Bluetooth work out afterwards also. This noble noble but that doesn't go right. A second you allowed yourself in the last couple of days since you made this decision official. To have a quiet moment where you kind of set by yourself and evaluated. The the depth than the -- of your career a what you accomplish from a basketball standpoint what to accomplish financially. What to provided for your family a hole depth and breath of who and what Shaquille O'Neal has been. What are your thoughts on that new look packet that at what you've done and where you -- American. Men know two things almost real mom bless and that sort of thing listen. Listen -- -- There's an almost quotable player for this bill itself. This new. You know -- no control and all of when the secret -- award. You know personally go ahead also. As Christians. So as well do you know prevention with a glimpse. And everybody knows that you are multi -- with the police and the sheriff's department are going for your Ph.D. you've got some business and all that sort of stuff yet none of those things I don't think scratches the competitive pitch that you would have playing in the NBA you anticipate that being a problem at some point when your feeling better. And training camp rolls around or maybe the playoffs a year from now the Shaquille -- say. I really missed the game. Knows. There really is because and also -- Level and -- -- the last couple years of children who have -- I have a problem with we're going out there look at regular. No -- no pitchers throw home robbed of their ability -- world and there's very little -- Electronically there's there's actually works is okay those you know Clinton. Actually maternal relative. In the nineteen years you played in the nineteen years you played this game Shaq who gave you the most trouble who was the biggest pain in your ass. I truly actually -- it was a little. We're doing that -- of Barkley Oakley. I could do anything with those you know with the -- -- is very compact very mean could do anything Boca. Obviously the Kendrick Perkins trade a lot of it hinged on you and your health and Danny has said he thought EU and Jermaine would be there. To fill that role. From your perspective how did the Perkins trade. Affect the team and and one of that David never pulled the trigger on that would they still would he goes to be planned now. No opened. The Mubarak Arnold you know -- Long. Question you know. Speaker. I think you know little little little book. -- source.
