Shaquille O'Neal On Why He Chose LSU Over UNC
Posted Apr 6, 2020
You chose LSU, was there any chance anyone else that could've landed you? Shaquille O'Neal: "So I went to North Carolina, Rick Fox showed me around, (Chapel Hill) was too, let me say this without being disrespectful, it wasn't hood enough for me." Shaq mentions Illinois (too cold), UNLV (Vegas lifestyle too scary), and ultimately, LSU; it felt like home.
