To this, Nischelle Turner said that many years ago, she went out on a date and couldn’t remember anything about the guy’s face except his smile. After hearing this, Shaq couldn’t hold back and said, “I’m not the smartest. I’m not the smartest knife in the drawer but, isn’t the smile part of your face? You can remember lips and teeth but you couldn’t adjust your eyes up 1.1 inches and remember his eyes and his nose stuff? Cut it out Nichelle, cut it out.”
