Hey, it's Thursday, which means we're coming at you with a short feel good story from a past guest. Hope you enjoyed the clip this week. Shaquille O'Neal, To what extent do you think you made the most of your talent? Probably when I didn't have any Knick knack injuries and you know, my, my goal was to just win 1. So I'm, I'm overqualified, I'm over. I did it. That was just my goal to win one because I used to get so much Flack for not winning one, just one-on-one.
So let me get 2. Let me get 3. Only regret I have right now is 2 regrets actually. 3 missing 5000 free throws, not passing up Wilt Chamberlain in points, and not not being being higher on the scoring list. That's it. That was my only three regrets. You had more championships than what? Yeah, I got more champ, but you know, they like I'm very when it comes to basketball conversations, I'm very arrogant. I only want to hear my name.
So when they say who's the most dominant player ever, I want him to say my name. I don't want him to be like, ah, maybe we'll maybe Shaq that that's that. Don't fly with me. I want him to say Shaq. Does does that really bother you? Yeah, it does because that was my niche. I wasn't going for the greatest player niche. I wasn't going for, you know, the the best. I wasn't going for that because those those words are, you know, those words are just thrown out, you know, words like most
dominant, you got to earn that. So we'll average 50 in one season. He did. He averaged 50 in one season. So when I got really close to him, I think I needed to average like 1012 points my last year in Boston and I want to pass them up. So when I had the career and injury I was like damn, not going to pass well. So those are my only three requests. My I have no other regrets. I got 4 ranks when I only wanted one. I'm good. Thanks for listening.
We'll be back next week and every week sharing long form interviews on Mondays and shorter uplifting stories on Thursdays and then trending clips on Fridays. We'd love to hear from you with ratings and reviews. Do you prefer the longer podcast episodes or are shorter ones? I'm excited to get your take. Thanks again.
