Right now I am reading Shaq Uncut, an autobiography about Shaquille O'Neal. He talks about memories from his NBA career and childhood. Growing up he lived in Newark around a lot of drugs and violence. He beat up a lot of kids, and his dad would beat him. Shaq said that he didn't hate his dad for it, but loved him for it for making him stronger. In high school he quickly became one of the best players in Texas. They won the state championship and then Shaq went to college at LSU. He loved it there, but his favorite part was his coach, Dale Brown. He went to the NBA, and was the number one pick for the Magic. He played great and the Magic improved. The next year they got the number one pick and drafted Penny Hardaway. With Penny and Shaq they went to the NBA finals, but got swept. That was the Magics best year with Shaq, and pretty soon he went to the Lakers and won four championships.
That is just the beginning of the book, and I would recommend everyone to read it. I like it a lot because he bad mouths Kobe Bryant a lot, and I hate Kobe, which was good for me. It is a great book for everyone and I deeply recommend it.
