Shaq Explains How He Could've Saved B.I.G. From Fatal Shooting

Shaq recently talked with ESPN's "Outside the Lines" about his friendship with the man born Christopher Wallace, which began when Shaq heard Biggie reference him and a song, and eventually included a collaboration on the song "Can't Stop the Reign." And he detailed how he made plans to go to Biggie's party the night he was shot, but never made it...something he understandably still thinks about. According to Shaq, he simply fell asleep that night, only to wake up to a phone call informing him his friend was shot. Shaq later wondered in his autobiography if his presence could have made a difference, which Biggie's cousin Lil Cease (who was present at the time of the shooting) believes it would have.
