Given another 2-3 years, I'm sure we would have worked up the nerve to go talk to him, but before that could happen Sean's iPhone buzzed with a "tweet" from Shaq.

I feel twitterers around me, r there any twitterers in 5 n diner wit me, say somethin

"Hey" Sean said, with a slight bit of confidence.

Returning to our hushed whispers I asked Sean, "Should we go talk to him now?"

"I don't know, should we?"

"Yes, you should" a very deep voice entered our conversation from 2 booths over.

Great Shaq story

He is The Big Marketer and I think really loves people.

I wonder some times what it would be like to be him…to be recognized and the constant focus of attention. Can’t be easy.

This is great.

If there is one great thing Shaq has done. Maintaining this ability and willingness to connect with people is outstanding. Surely a rarity in this world of stars.
