“Let's put it in old movie Mafia terms. There are guys that are in position to get by but they didn't wait their turn. They back-doored the top guy to get the power. For example, Sonny Corleone went up there, and he wanted to be the top guy. And the Godfather said, 'You know what dude, I'm a star.' That's what I'm doing now, and that's what I was trying to do with what's-his-name.” KnowsTryingSaidWantedGuyTurnsNamesStarsWaitingTermExamplePositionBasketballMafiaLakersOld MovieCorleone Author:Shaquille O'Neal
