Shaq caught wind of this 7-foot-3 kid in Kemah, Texas who powered through the police academy only to fall one point short on the state exam. His whole dream of becoming an officer looked like it was slipping away right there.
Then Shaq jumped in and covered the guy’s living expenses for the next five months so he wouldn’t have to juggle a second job and could zero in on passing that test. Because of that extra push, Jordan Wilmore got back in, nailed it, and just got sworn in as a Kemah police officer.
Miroslav Klose revealed that he had a phone call with Lionel Messi after Messi surpassed his World Cup goals record and that the call was organized by Lionel Scaloni:
“Lionel Scaloni was my teammate at Lazio. We’ve always stayed in touch.
"He arranged a phone call between Messi and me. It was very emotional. Of course, we had crossed paths on the pitch a few times before, and it was always respectful and pleasant.
"But that phone call was the first time we had such a long conversation outside of those meetings. He told me he would send me a signed jersey.” 🤝🇩🇪
