Shaq’s divorce has devastated Pat Riley, and somewhat saddened us, too. But when these things happen, the emailers come out of the woodwork. There’s no way to verify whether or not this is true, but a reader tells this tale (we’ve altered some details to protect the innocent):

A couple years ago [friend's girlfriend] was in Miami for a weekend. She was walking somewhere in South Beach when a red Escalade pulled up, the window rolled down and it was Shaq. He was macking pretty hard and said something like “Once you have Shaq, you never go back” … Shaq ends up giving her his phone number … his voicemail had an automated message … the one that goes “You have reached the voice message box of_________” Well for Shaq it was: “You have reached the voice message box of: WILT CHAMBERNEEZY”

Gotta love the Big Galoot.
