Shaquille O'Neal is back on the show after a hiatus, following the passing of his sister, and the big man opens the show by thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We also get into Shareef's first games on the court for UCLA, and how paying NCAA athletes will affect his kids and their education moving forward. Of course we had to get Shaq's take on the Embiid/Karl-Anthony Towns fight and how he thought it was just soft. And Shaq has some STRONG language in regards to John Collins and his 25-game suspension in Atlanta, wow! Of course we get Borderline, and we play a hilarious round of Match Game.
