Hansen's words elicited a wave of laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere at the press conference lightened considerably at that moment.
The day after the end of the NBA Finals Game 1, TNT's latest show was a hit with high audience engagement.
After finishing his practice, Hansen also sat at home and watched the episode.
O'Neal really did bring a big box into the studio.
Watching this scene, Hansen always felt that this guy was up to some mischief.
After all, compared to the past two years' performances, making a bet of just one million US dollars seemed a bit lackluster for the show.
Everything seemed normal at first as O'Neal opened the box and took out stack after stack of dollars.
It reminded Hansen of how some NBA players like to show off their money, something he never quite understood.
"Do not flaunt wealth," as the saying goes; showing off your riches only invites envy and ill-will, and does no good.
