Turns out that Shaq was wrong (what else is new?). Kobe could do it without him.
Kobe Bryant led the Americans to victory Sunday, bringing home the Olympic gold that had been elusive the past eight years in international competiton. And where was Shaquille O’Neal?
The former Laker and current Phoenix Sun center was stateside, dealing with a restraining order that an Atlanta-area woman took out against him. Imagine that.
Alexis Miller told a Fulton County judge that O’Neal stalked her, threatened her with bodily harm and made harassing phone calls in which he breathed heavily into the phone before hanging up.
Miller is a 23-year-old hip-hop artist known professionally as Maryjane and also alleged Shaq threatened to pay performers not to work with her after she ended an intimate relationship.
Guess Shaq has someone new to rap about.
