Friday night when his son became a Hall of Famer, it was realized. Shaq and Allen Iverson headlined the 10-member Class of 2016 enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. “If I know my father, he’s up there arguing with Wilt [Chamberlain] that his son is the best big man in the game,” Shaq said. His speech had serious moments, like thanking his parents for giving him the discipline and drive that drove his NBA dream. Because I need more practice than him,” Yao said to applause from the crowd and a laugh from Iverson.
