I don't like Papa John's pizza at all...  but I'd eat the shit and say I like it for a couple million per year.

That pizza is crap and doesn't qualify as pizza. But he is expanding his brand. Of course it's good PR for Papa John's which they desperately need.

Change the name. Pizza Shaq sounds like a good name for a crap pie.

I dont think the average person can really appreciate exactly how big of a man he is... I see him in movies and compare him to stuff in the scenes hes in and its crazy when you compare him to stuff we all know in real life... when he was playing he was running around with other huge humans which really diminished how much bigger than the rest of us he really is.

He still stuck out among the other huge humans because he is massive. And when he would break the backboard and shatter the glass, you got to see his power.

Yes very true, I saw him in person against the Lakers when he was a rookie, just a humungous man even amongst the other NBA players.

I have a good friend who played pro basketball overseas, he’s 6’11” and i sometimes forget just how big he is until we go out somewhere and everyone stares at him. When we walk side by side my wife says it’s like a dad walking his middle school kid.
