Watch Shaquille O'Neal Cry Talking About Kobe On 'Inside The NBA'

Man, Shaq...tugging at my heart this morning. Got the cut onion effect rocking right now. So touching to see the pain he feels. Hate that all the loss is so clustered together for him.

Crazy to think I was in a mosh pit with that guy a few months ago at his concert. Love the Big Shaqtus. He is not only a huge teddy bear, he is our huge teddy bear. He is a massive manifestation of human creativity, and I'm damn proud he is a Tiger.

Most eloquent, heart-felt "speech" I've heard in quite awhile. That was the real Shaq right there.

Damn that video really got me. Love ya big fella.

Damn. This really sucks.

Man! This is tough! Everyone is hurting even if you did not like Kobe. This hits you especially hard if you're a father. I have 1 girl and 4 boys. I don't think I've ever hug them as tight as I did when I got back in town Monday night. Shaq was on point.

True love…

Man that is tough. RIP Mamba. Much respect to Shaq for opening up about it.

Very well-said. And its an honor to have him on the Mt. Rushmore of LSU Alums. Big man with a big heart
