Shaq. Shaqtus. The Big Shamrock. Shaq Diesel. Shaq Fu. The Big Artistotle. The Big Maravich. Superman. Call him what you want, the 7 foot 1, over 300 pound NBA legend is one of the coolest guys around. Not only that though, he’s a self confessed geek.

Check out the video below where he reveals how he tried to get his hands on the original iPhone ahead of its launch. I think a new nickname is in order: iShaq.
