This is from Grant Whal's recent interview with Freddy Adu (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writers/grant_wahl/01/16/adu.insider/index.html)--thought it was funny, but didn't merit posting in the soccer threads (sorry if it's out of place here).
"Wahl: Who's the most interesting VIP you've met in the last few months?
Adu: Probably Shaquille O'Neal. He said, 'Welcome to the big leagues. I wish you good luck, and I can't wait to see you play.' When I met him, he came out doing stepovers.
Wahl: With a basketball?
Adu: It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. You see this big dude come out with a basketball doing stepovers. It was hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. I thought he was going to slip and fall, but the guy held his own."
Who knew Shaq knew what a stepover was, let alone could do one....
More on topic: thank god he didn't hurt his toe......
