If the gorillas aren’t guarding the rim what do they have to worry about? Shaq’s a good guy. Just don’t think that you can take a “charging” call and go unscathed.

The gorillas are just afraid that he will try to sell them some car insurance.

Shaq can laugh about it. Michelle would be trying to get Federal civil rights charges filed against the gorillas. :)

He was an early investor of Ring. Would like to know what that is worth today after Amazon bought it.

I was in an online game with someone who claimed to be Shaq.

While it was difficult to prove - and he wasn’t particularly interested in being identified - we were pretty sure it was THE Shaq.

He spent in the ballpark of $10K a month on the game. Laughed about it.

Wouldn't have to be a silverback, any adult and probably most of the juvenile gorillas could, too. Gorillas have 4X the muscle mass of a human being. Shaq is agile and athletic for a giant human being but a gorilla (even the large silverbacks) are incredibly agile and athletic when compared to any human being.

My niece in the backstage part of showbiz has worked with Shaquille O’Neal. He’s one of her favorites, a funny guy who treats people well. She’s worked with a lot celebrities whose names everyone knows and most of them are not like Shaq.
