As he became an official Los Angeles policeman, Shaquille O'Neal realized something very important: You can never truly understand another person. You think you do, but you don't.
During the off-season, he participated in many arrests. The model couple walking with their children on the street could be scammers, the seemingly harmless single man could be a murderer, and the cultured-looking online writer could be a frequent visitor to brothels.
Everyone has their own little thoughts and secrets.
Just like how Shaquille O'Neal always thought Mitch Kupchak was a good person. He wasn't as temperamental as Jerry West, always speaking amicably and getting along well with everyone.
When he first took Jerry West's position, he held Shaq's hand and told him: "I'll make you a Laker for life!"
It seemed like he, in his role as general manager, had promised Shaq the position of absolute leader.
But now, everything has changed.
