Shaq meets Shaq

WYHS alum (Class of 2014), Shaquille Alexander, had the opportunity to meet Shaquille O'Neal in Cleveland during the NBA Finals.

O'Neal's publicist put out an all-call stating that anyone named Shaquille that can make it to Cleveland during the NBA Finals would have the opportunity to meet O'Neal.

The all-call was in conjunction with a story that Sports Illustrated was writing about how the NBA star's fame prompted a dramatic rise in popularity of the name "Shaquille."

Above is a photo of Shaquille Alexander's (left) encounter with Shaquille O'Neal. Pretty cool!
