We all post things on the Internet that we wish had never seen the light of day. Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal was reminded of this on Monday when an old clip resurfaced in which he claimed no coach would ever take a team to four out of five Finals ever again. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr called the big man out, but Shaq was ready to play along:
@SteveKerr I guess I’ll c u in fear factor, and make sure it’s kraft cheese lol

While it's doubtful that the big man will ever actually end up smooching Kerr's feet, it definitely makes for some entertaining banter.
Steve Kerr proved O'Neal wrong by taking the Warriors to not only four out of five Finals, but a perfect five straight. The Warriors did pretty well during their dynasty, winning three championships and revolutionizing the way basketball is played.
One thing that Shaquille O'Neal can still hold over Kerr is that the Warriors coach could never accomplish a feat O'Neal and the Lakers pulled off: the rare three-peat.
The Warriors came close this season, but ultimately fell to the Toronto Raptors, two wins shy of accomplishing the first three-peat since the Lakers completed it in 2002.
Now, Steve Kerr will be focused on helping the Warriors return to the Finals as fast as possible after losing Kevin Durant. He probably will not have time to drape cheese on his feet and make Shaquille O'Neal give 'em a kiss.
