Once upon a time in Phoenix, there was a famous prankster named Shaquille O'Neal. He was known for his elaborate pranks and mischievous ways. One day, Shaq set his sights on a Slovenian import named Goran Dragic, who had just joined the Phoenix Suns.

Goran was excited to be playing for the Suns, but little did he know that he would soon become the target of Shaq's hazing pranks. Shaq took an immediate liking to Goran and decided to put him through a series of tests to see if he could withstand the veteran player's tricks.

One of the most memorable pranks involved a heavy electronic keyboard. Shaq ordered Goran to carry the 20kg instrument on consecutive road games.

Oblivious to the prank, Goran obediently lugged the heavy keyboard from one venue to another. He marveled at the size of the instrument and assumed that Shaq must be a big fan of the piano.

However, as time went on, Goran started to suspect that something was off. He never saw Shaq play the piano, and he never heard any music coming from Shaq's room, which happened to be next to his own. Eventually, Goran mustered up the courage to confront Shaq and asked him if he actually played the piano.

Shaq's response left Goran dumbfounded.

He admitted, "They sold it broken to me, Goran... I got cheated. And then I don't know how to play it." It turned out that Shaq had tricked Goran into carrying a broken piano around all those weeks.

Goran later revealed that he was one of only two rookies to survive Shaq's hazing pranks, the other being Kobe Bryant. Despite the pranks, Goran had developed a deep bond with Shaq. He appreciated Shaq's sense of humor and the lessons he had learned from the veteran player.

Fast forward to present day, and Goran Dragic announces his retirement from the NBA. Fans and fellow players bid him farewell, but there is one person who hasn't spoken up yet - Shaq.

However, it is safe to say that Shaq has always held a special place in his heart for Goran, his favorite rookie.

In conclusion, Shaq's prankster ways knew no bounds. From tricking Goran into carrying a broken piano to forging a lasting friendship, Shaq's mischievous spirit brought laughter and camaraderie to the NBA. As Goran steps away from the court, he will surely look back fondly on his time with Shaq and the memories they created together.
