At the time, he was lumbering 6' 6", 225 lbs, or something like that. At the camp, he's impressive, but doesn't seem to be playing up to his size. So, on the third day of camp one of the coaches decides to broach the issue with him. He starts by asking "why aren't you dunking like a lot of the other guys out here?" Shaq's answer: "I'm 12."

Isn’t it great? It’s 2008! What's in and out as the year kicks off
On the classic rock front, reunions are in, with Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, the Police, Genesis, the Eagles and others all getting their post-middle-aged butts back on the concert stage. But it's not about the money — it's just a coincidence that the Police reunion took place after Sting's album of 16th-century lute songs sold two copies, both to his mother. And for those keeping track of the Van Halen soap opera, David Lee Roth is back in, and Sammy Hagar is still out. Also, Wolfgang Van Halen (Eddie's kid) is in, and original bassist Michael Anthony is out. Buttless chaps and spandex tank tops: still out. (Sorry, Dave.) Hip-hop is back in, thanks to the likes of Jay-Z, with his one-two punch of "Kingdom Come" and "American Gangster" (with an "er" at the end … you've got to admit, that's refreshing).
