Shaquille O’Neal paid tribute to his friend and former teammate, Kobe Bryant, with one of their shared favorite hobbies: music.
Former NBA basketball player Shaquille O' Neal DJ's at Shaq's Fun House, Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020, in Miami. This carnival themed music festival is one of numerous events taking place in advance of Miami hosting Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2.
Standing from behind a soundboard, O’Neal then played Kanye West’s “All of the Lights.” A large purple-and-yellow banner featuring Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers numbers — 8 and 24 — hung from the ceiling as O’Neal dedicated several moments of his set to the basketball legend, who also recorded music. “I’m gonna always remember his memory because we’re forever linked,” O’Neal told The Associated Press in an interview before he performed. “I lost a sister, lost a father — whenever you lose somebody that’s super-important. It’s always gonna be heavy on the heart.”Hours before O’Neal’s event, the Lakers had its first game since Bryant’s death and honored the star player.
“Man, this week was crazy. You know, I’m all about that ‘Can’t stop, won’t stop’; somebody or something got to inspire me. And when I feel like giving up, I swear to God the only person that pops in my head is Kobe shooting in the gym,” Diddy said. “It’s Kobe coming in early, leaving late. It’s Kobe playing hurt.”
Balloons hung from the ceiling at O’Neal’s colorful showcase, which featured robots dancing onstage. With stuffed animals hanging off their necks, audience members balanced drinks in one hand and phones capturing the performances in the other.
