This new revelation doesn’t really come as that much of a shock to us – but sports reporter Darren Rovell kinda confirmed via his twitter that retired basketball star Shaquille O’neal will be taking a place at Turner Sports, specifically joining the Inside The NBA roundtable on TNT which includes Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson. Think this is a good move???

another stumbling mumbling jock. shaq is cool, but he is no jalen rose or chris webber behind the mic. and all those corny antics that he likes to do will get annoying really quickly. he better go take some broadcasting classes or he’ll be another tiki barber.
ouch, give the man a chance. Problem with Tiki is he had no personality and after selling out the Giants in his first couple of months he had no fan base either.
Rose is good, Webber is getting there, but Mark Jackson is the best. Shaq could do what Barkley or Magic Johnson do, provide some real gut level analysis from someone who’s actually lived it… i’ve seen Barkley make a number of calls where he was on his own but turned out to be right.
Shaq will be fine!
This ought to be broadcasting gold!
The 173rd richest person in the world, Ralph Lauren, who was born as Ralph Lifshitz, was actually the son of Jewish immigrants from Belarus. He was born in Bronx, New York and was nurtured by his mother Fraydl and father Frank, who was a house painter.
The name Ralph Lauren was actually unintentional. Since Ralph was always teased with his real last name, he decided to change Lifshitz into Lauren when he was sixteen years old.
Ralph Lauren did not actually attend fashion school as he studied business at the Baruch School of Business and Civic Administration of the City College of New York. When he was still in high school, Ralph was also known for selling ties to other students.
He worked as a tie salesman at A. Rivetz & Co., a well known tie manufacturer in New York. He then proceeded to create his own ties which then defied the current fashion trend of conservative business wear. This bold move lead to Ralph’s success and up to now, Ralph Lauren’s designs continue to set the trends.
Ralph Lauren loves to collect automobiles, most of which are held in his New York estate. Parts of his collection are extremely rare automobile like the 1929 Blower Bentley, a Bugatti Veyron, an F1 LM, and a 162 Ferrari 250 GTO among others.
He met his wife, Ricky Anne Low-Beer in an eye doctor’s office in June 1964. They then married in December of that same year and had two sons, named Andrew and David, and a daughter named Dylan.
Ralph Lauren was born on October 14, 1939 and is now 71 years old. He continues to act as CEO and Chief Designer while his son David works as an executive at Polo Ralph Lauren
