One of Shaquille O’Neal’s many nicknames is “The Big Aristotle”, which he coined after winning the MVP award in 2000. Of course, he’s not to be confused with the Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher — at least, he shouldn’t be confused. Obviously, someone at Reader’s Digest couldn’t tell the difference, and attributed a quote from the philosopher to the not-quite-as-philosophical Big Fella.
The quote ran in the June issue, with a correction published in the current August issue, which you can find on something called a “news stand” (yeah, we don’t know what that is, either).
