The day i met Shaq
It was a bright sunny Saturday Morning; and I had just woken up from a good night’s sleep. I’ve also had a Football game that day, I had to get ready for that. Meanwhile my Cousin LJ is knocking on the front door and my aunt Chanika blowing the horn, rushing me to come get in the car so we won’t be late. So I decided to keep on what I had on and put my football uniform in my duffel bag and just get dressed in the locker room when we got there and ran outside to the car barefooted. As I’m running to the car I heard my cousin laughing and making jokes such as “Who shot you in your foot” at first I didn’t catch on but, I remembered that is was a joke for saying that you have a hole in your sock. I reply “Oh you got jokes huh?” Once we actually get in the car and actually getting down the road my aunt starts giving us the run down on what errands we have to run before going to the Football stadium. As she talking, she gets interrupted by a phone call from my uncle asking if she could stop by BestBuy and get some Printer ink and paper. She sighs and said “ok”. It wasn’t a problem because, there was a BestBuy a couple minutes from the where we were going. As we pull into the BestBuy parking lot, we see a few black trucks with dark tent in front of the store. We instantly thought maybe something bad happened there and waited to see if anyone was going to come out with bags or some sort of purchased items. We waited for about 2-3 minutes and then a] lady and her son came out of the store smiling and looking at their phone. So we got out the car and proceeded to the doors of BestBuy. Once we enter the BestBuy we seen a couple of muscular dudes in all black. I didn’t pay it no mind but, my cousin Spot a big heavy set man in the middle of the store. Then I took a glance at the man, and him it was Shaquille O’Neal. Me and my cousin approached him and said “Hi”. Believe it or not but we talked to him for a couple of minutes. He was asking us did we play any sports. We told him we were actually on the way to our football game. A couple moments later asked me and my cousin if we were ready to go. We said bye to Shaq and he handed us both Huge bags that were kind of heavy, and said enjoy. Running back to the car me and LJ were stoked to see what was in the bags. There was a PlayStation 4 and a 5th Generation IPad in my bag, LJ Had gotten a new iPhone and a Xbox… After Talking to my uncle and telling him that we got his thing and we had me Shaq my aunt pulled off and we headed to the Football stadium. Later that day we won our game……. This was in 2014 …
