NBA star, Shaquille O’Neal has revealed how the presence of Hollywood actress, Halley Berry, made him play his best game ever.
Speaking during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, O’Neal revealed that he did his best to impress the actress when she showed up to watch one of his games.
He made this known in reaction to the coronavirus restriction which has forced NBA arenas to be without fans.
“I’m a pretty good player, but certain things make me great. For example, one time I was playing against the New York Knicks and I’m at the free-throw line, and I see this girl walking down the aisle, and I’m like, ‘she looks like…oh my god it is Halle Berry,’ and I called a timeout.
“I go to the bench and say, ‘Halle Berry’s at the game. Anybody shoots beside me and I’m punching you in your face. Halle Berry is here to watch me play the game, give it to me.’ It was one of my best games I’ve ever had. Every time I got the ball I would look and make sure Halle was looking at me, and I just destroyed Patrick Ewing,” he shared.
