And as a a side note. Got some sweet cheap Shaq brand sneakers at the camp, and I got hot chocolate spilled all over my new, all white shoes by another kid within an hour. Been a Kobe fan ever since.

True story. At Shaq camp in 2000. I’m 12 years old and sitting at lunch with a cold coke and I decided to pour salt, pepper, and sugar into my drink as I’m giggling about it with my friends. Shaq’s agent sees me and yells “you better drink that!” I drank it and hated it.
