“I’ll look after things down here. I’ll be sure to teach Natalia, Bianka, and baby Capri all your moves,” pledged O’Neal. “And I promise I will not teach them my free throw techniques.” The star-studded audience erupted in laughter.

“For now,” Shaq continued, “I take comfort in the fact that as we speak Kobe and Gigi are holding hands, walking to the nearest basketball court.”

O’Neal concluded his remarks by saying, “Kobe, you’re heaven’s MVP, I love you, my man, ’till we meet again.”

“Rest in peace, Kobe,” O’Neal finished.
