rip. shaq offered to pay for the funeral.

i'm pretty sure the heat owner will pay for it just like Dr.Bus payd for the 2 burn cop cars when we won 2000 championship,and all the toys on xmas,and then Dr.buss would tell thePR people to tell the media that shaq did it so he could look like he's some great guy

I doubt that.  Shaq and Mikan always referred to each other as friends.  Mr. Mikan always had kind things to say about Shaq.  I think Shaq is sincere in wanting to pay for this funeral and that he will pay for it.
