Title: With kapil Dev on stage and Shaquille O' Neal playing cricket
Post by: coolcucumber_1 on October 31, 2013, 05:01:47 PM
Had a great opportunity last month to meet the legendary Kapil Dev for a local function in California.
Such a humble personality and a great guy. He played host to a quiz contest that happened and was sponsored by me as part of my launch of a new brand.
Coz me not being a sponsor i am not going to mention anything more about it and cannot put pictures either as it reveals a lot more, but have found one pic in which you cannot see the name.
Second event yesterday at the first home game of sacramento Kings basketball team, the new owner is an indian fella who loves cricket.
Decided to put a net in the parking lot and have a cricket demo right before the start of the first home game. None of the players were there to try anything but guess what......... Shaq walks out and wants to pad up and have a go. i couldnt make it here personally but a close friend who plays for the local team was there and send me pictures. I don't know if it is the funniest sight or what...he just looked like an action hero with the kit on :)

of course, saying Shaq here means something rather different...

when I read the title I thought somebody finally found Shaq. You can search for Shaq/Shaq harris on the forum to know the story (as I did few months back).
