The making of HBO's Shaq with director Robert Alexander

Courtesy of HBO Sports Documentaries, director Robert Alexander discusses his work on "SHAQ," a four-part documentary series detailing the life and career of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Featuring a series of revealing interviews with O’Neal, SHAQ tells the story of a basketball legend unlike any other, whose larger-than-life personality transcended the sport and transformed him into a cultural icon. Robert explains the imagery of the documentary and shares some behind-the-scenes tales about what it was like to tell the story of someone so well-known already. The series chronicles Shaq’s ascent to superstardom, as a dominant force who won four NBA championships, league MVP honors, and changed the game. It also encompasses his life off the court, from his upbringing in a military family to his most profound personal relationships and prosperous broadcasting and business careers.Follow Dope Interviews on Twitter: twitter.com/dope_interviewsFollow Warren Shaw on Twitter: twitter.com/shawsportsnbaSupport for "Dope Interviews" in part is sponsored by Rich Kid Clothing:richkidmoneybear.com/.
