Now I am not a basketball know-it-all or anything. I do, however, know who Shaquille O'Neal is. He is the genius who happens to also be good at his favorite hobby, basketball. Not many people know this. They just know him for his talent as a basketball player, but I know him for his talent...at thinking.
“But can’t nobody (mess) with me. I’m like toilet paper, Pampers and toothpaste. I’m definitely proven to be effective.”
This man definitely knows how to construct a simile, and an especially effective one at that. YES. toilet paper, Pampers, and toothpaste have DEFINITELY been proven to be effective, thus, according to those proven facts, Shaq has articulately conveyed his effectiveness. What a command of the English language!
“Being the best right now doesn’t do anything for my feathers.”
THAT'S GENIUS because (do you get it?) he's not about being the best because that doesn't do anything for his "feathers". His thoughts and observations take you to a higher metaphysical plane.
This is true. Shaq points out the educational value of the internet. I completely agree with his argument that education has now gotten so much simpler. Learning for the youth has gotten so much easier because of the use of the internet as a study aid. No doubt previous generations of graduates had to sacrifice so much in order to achieve their educational goals. Back then, when you got into Harvard, you earned it. Now, if you got in, it was only because of the internet.
