NBL.tv Sydney v Perth with Shaq?

On the NBL Facebook page, there is old footage of Shaq training against then, Magic and Tigers players.

It says there is a game with Sydney v Perth from 1993 with a Shaq interview on NBL.tv

Does anyone know where I can find it? I can't see it under "classics"?

Thanks

What is it, Tigers & Magic, or Wildcats & Kings?

OP clearly states the game is Sydney and Perth.

Shaq was in Syndey I recall. Unsure of the year. Perhaps 93, releasing his shoes at the SEC. I am sure he was at a game with the Kings but I can't recall who they played. 93 sounds about right. I still have a SHAQ baseball cap somewhere from him....

I was only a lion cub back then but Shaq did come to a Kings game once, in 1992 or 93. My memory is a bit fuzzy, just like my furry head!

Shawn Bradley was a regular as well to Kings games before he was drafted. He really stood out in a crowd!

Reebok sponsored the team and also brought out Danny Manning (#1 Pick in 1988) and Dee Brown (reigning dunk champ) in 1992.

Some court jester was doing my gig as well!

Yes that's why it was called LIVE (from Sydney). AFAIK it was never live for all NBL games. CH10.

It's there. The thumbnail is even of the interview.

If you're only interested in it for the interview, though, it's not worth watching. Shaq only says about two words, and the whole thing is thoroughly awkward.

2 words of prime Shaq >> 1000 words of Kobe

My favorite Shaq line was something along the line of 'Everyone want's to talk about money. Money, money, money. All I want to do is play basketball, drink Pepsi and wear Reebok'.

I reckon that would have been the time he was in Melbourne for the opening of Crown Casino.

Crown opened in 1994 though, not 1993.
