If you told me 15 years ago that I’d one day write about Shaquille O’Neal using a fish as a gun as well as his budding friendship with a chicken, I’m not sure exactly what my reaction would be, but I certainly wouldn’t believe you. Well, here we are. The Big Aristotle is an investor […]

It may have been Kobe Bryant’s last game, but it doesn’t mean his old teammate didn’t believe he could score 50 points.
