While appearing on NBA on TNT this week, the basketball star reacted to the death of NBA icon Junior Bridgeman, who died on Tuesday, March 11.
“This one really hit hard for me,” O’Neal said. “A lot of people don’t know this, but I’ve patterned my whole business acumen after Junior Bridgeman. They always tell us stories about 75 percent of athletes, zero to five years after they’re done playing, go broke.”
“He was somebody that I looked up to," O'Neal added. "I know I get a lot of credit, but if it wasn’t for Bridgeman, I wouldn’t have known where to start."
