1. “If a coach takes a team to the Finals four out of five years, I’ll kiss his feet on Fear Factor. With cheese on it. I would. It will never be done again."
That was the promise Shaquille O'Neal made during a 2004 interview with ESPN. At the time, Phil Jackson had taken the Lakers to the NBA Finals in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. Yesterday, Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who coached his team to the NBA Finals in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, reminded the world of the Diesel's claim.
Shaq must REALLY love cheese because it looks like the big guy is willing to hold up his end of the deal.
