Shaquille O’Neal: I don’t know if you heard this story, but in 1992, I think with the draft, was it in June or something? I meet Mr. David Stern in March and he says to me, “Hey, can’t wait for you to come to the NBA.” Then he pulls me to his side and asked me ‘You want to play where it’s cold or where it’s hot?’ He asked me that. Yeah, he did. He asked me that and I was like, “Hot!” And he smiled and I smiled and then couple days later they had the draft thing and the top three things and then Minnesota was number three, then Charlotte was number two and then Orlando, Florida was number one. I was like I didn’t think anything about it. But you hear a lot of these conspiracy theories and know there’s a lot of situations that could make these things sound good and sound true like ‘okay Dallas gets rid of a one of the one of the best players but oh! we we’re getting a new one.’ Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. So I don’t want to use the word conspiracy theory but it’s very interesting how it all played out.
