Shaquille O’Neal and Grant Hill wear ‘GOAT’ shirts to honor Muhammad Ali (Video)
Following the passing of the legendary Muhammad Ali on Friday, tributes have been pouring in from all over the world. Prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals, two former NBA players did their part to pay homage to the man dubbed “The Greatest.”
During NBATV’s pregame coverage, Shaquille O’Neal and Grant Hill wore black t-shits with “GOAT” on the front while on set with Matt Winer and Kenny Smith. They also took a few moments to reflect on the impact of Ali. Shaq called him a “hero” and Grant Hill recalled a time Ali visited with the 1996 Olympic team and how he was in awe.

A touching and reflective few minutes, indeed. Winer indicated there would be a moment of silence prior to the game to show respect for Ali.
