Michigan basketball player Austin Hatch has a huge fan in the form of former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal. The current Inside the NBA analyst, Shaq recently took to watching Austin Hatch’s ESPN SportsCenter Feature. Hatch, of course, was a survivor of two separate plane crashes while in high school that killed his mother, father, step-mother and siblings.
