In 1991 when the Philadelphia 76ers were vainly chasing the Bulls and headed for a second round playoff series, Charles Barkley knew his team needed help. “Get me Shaq!” Barkley was believed to have said about the college superstar center. It was about that time, the 76ers signed former North Carolina State center Charles “Shack” Shackleford to a long term deal. “No, not that one!” Barkley was said to exclaim.
The Bulls Sunday added Shaq to their roster. No, not that one.
Though for 2018, the one the Bulls signed definitely is better.
“It’s a great opportunity,” point guard Shaquille Harrison told reporters Sunday in the Advocate Center before the team departed for Monday’s game in Dallas.
