Shaquille O'Neal, or 'Shaq', is one of the most popular NBA stars and has even appeared in Hollywood movies that were laughable because of his burly giant appearance, who for years was the fear and terror of basketball fans, as he has knocked down many in his rich career.
Recently in an interview he admitted that he is a Geek and that he loves Apple products. So back in 2007 when I learned that Apple would announce the first iPhone he rushed to find an acquaintance of his who knew Steve Jobs and begged him to give him the Apple CEO's cell phone. When he got it he started calling Steve Jobs repeatedly to convince him to give him an iPhone before it was officially released.
But Steve Jobs played a good defense and categorically denied it! See what 'Shaq' himself says about this fact in the interview he gave to Bloomberg.
