Fernando Alonso has hinted at a future deal with Porsche for the next adventure of his career when he is finished with Formula One.Alonso has been linked with the Porsche drive for many years and had a provisional deal to drive for the German manufacturer in the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hours, only for Honda to block his participation. Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg eventually got the drive and won the prestigious event on his first attempt.Speaking in a video tribute to friend Mark Webber, who bowed out from racing at the weekend at the 6 Hours of Bahrain, Alonso praised the Australian and suggested he could one day be following his route from F1 to Porsche in future.Youve had a fantastic career and now all your success with Porsche, Alonso said. You didnt wait for me there, it could have been nice but I think you will still be around and I will ask you many things when I join your adventure. A really great man and from my heart all the best.Alonsos McLaren deal runs until the end of 2017. He has made it clear on several occasions his future beyond that will depend on whether the new regulations bring back the enjoyment for the drivers in F1, following several years as a vocal critic of the sports current guise.

Springfield, Mass. -- The dream his stepfather had long ago becomes reality Friday night at the Springfield Symphony Hall as the LSU and NBA icon, Shaquille ONeal, is inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.And if Shaq has his way, Sgt. Phillip Harrisons memory will be front and center at the Symphony Hall.And I will probably make one of my relatives move, ONeal said Wednesday night on NBA-TV. And leave an empty seat for Phillip Harrison. I ordered my tickets the other day but I will probably have to make a painful call to one of my cousins, hey I need your seat. Ill make it up to you, because I want that seat to be empty. If he was still alive, I know he would be there and be so happy.The enshrinement event begins at 5:30 p.m. CT and will be covered live on NBA-TV and NBA.com.What remains to be seen is will we see the fun-loving Shaq in his acceptance speech or will he be emotional when he talks about his mom Lucille ONeal and his stepdad Sgt. Phillip Harrison.It was the fun-loving side of Shaq that came out a few years ago after Coach Dale Brown introduced him in Natchitoches (as he dubbed it Shaqitoches) at the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. At the College Basketball Hall of Fame induction in 2014 when both Shaq and Dale went in, it was a night of one upsmanship in storytelling.But there is something magical about the pinnacle of the sport in Springfield. When Hall of Famers (and Shaquille will have Julius Erving, Bill Russell, Alonzo Mourning and Isiah Thomas escort him to the stage for is his acceptance speech. Thats the moment when it seems to hit the inductees the most and emotional flow. So who knows what the moment will bring out in ONeal?At the Thursday press conference at the Hall, which is also opened to a paid crowd at the museum, ONeal was at his best, strutting the stage like a fashion model with his new Hall of Fame jacket and later bringing a young girl on stage with a Michigan State sweatshirt to take a picture with him and fellow inductee Coach Tom Izzo of Michigan State. Then inductee Sheryl Swoopes got up and told the story that ONeal offered a million dollars if she would take a pratfall walking up to the stage. Swoopes said only if ONeal could show her the money!Wednesday night on NBATV, ONeal sat down with TNT colleague Ernie Johnson for a one-hour chat billed as The Big Conversation and to me, as someone who has watched him since his days at LSU from 1989-92 and beyond, this was one of the most articulate and in many ways comprehensive interviews Shaq as given on a national stage. Johnson may need to get some of the credit for that because of his demeanor and style, but ONeal also took the opportunity to open up on many subjects that many times included his parents.Some highlights:I asked my mother a long time ago why did you name me Shaquille ONeal. She said because my grandmother told me that you would somebody that will always be remembered. Thats what she told me. Because all my other kids and cousins are Brian, Tony, Jerome ... Why did you name me that crazy name? My mother told me that you are going to be world renown. That name Shaquille ONeal will ring bells.My dream was to make $8 million for 10 years and I already had it set. I had a little house. I was going to get a Blazer and a Mercedes-Benz. Johnson goes: So youve exceeded your expectations? Yes I did. I really did. laughed ONeal.(Talking about Kobe when he first came to the Lakers) You know how they always say how a guy is in the gym a couple of hours before or a couple hours after practice? That was Kobe Bryant.dddddddddddd Im a veteran. Practice is at 10. Im arriving at 9:45. He was always there.(On the relationship with Kobe now). Were cool ... The NBA stands for Nothing But Actors. So the beef that we had there will never spill over into real life.(On Pat Riley and his LSU Coach Dale Brown) ... (Riley) and Dale Brown when they tell stories before a game, you just want to go out and kill people. Pat Riley and Dale Brown are similar guys. They teach never give up. Thats what took me to the next level. Not training. Not going out in the gym three hours. Conversations.Dale Brown had a rule that if you miss class you are going to run. Im a junior. Im an All-American ... I might be going pro at the end of this year. I might not. I miss class one day. Im sleeping and I wake up and there is this hand on my chest ... I actually think Im dead. God? There is this white hand on my chest (Coach Browns hand). The crazy thing is I got three locks on my door. How the hell did this guy get in my room? ... I ran about 15 laps (at Bernie Moore track) ... I never missed class again. It took that disciplinarian father-like figure to get me to perform at the next level.A guy asked me the other day are you happy about the hall of fame and I said yea. He said you dont have a smile on your face. This was (Phillip Harrisons) dream as well as my dream. Hes my stepfather ... But when he started teaching me basketball he always preached three names - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. He told me everything about those guys. He kept saying if you listen to me I can make you as good as those guys. I wanted to be Dr. J, but once I became seven-foot, I got to be like those guys. He would just preach their name all the time. When I heard people say that Shaq is similar to those guys, all that stuff he was telling me was correct.One of the more amazing and poignant moments came in the shows final minutes when Johnson slowly and deliberately asked ONeal about his biological father and any chance of a relationship. Its a clip worth watching on NBATV as Shaq appears to wipe away a tear from under his eye as he tells the story of meeting with the man after this past basketball season.The show is a very amazing look at the life of a sports icon that really in a short time takes you through more than Xs and Os and championships and broken backboards. Shaquille ONeal is what he is because of his basketball ability at LSU and the NBA. But he has also become an iconic figure in sports. One that has transcended the game into business dealings, television and made a wonderful life for himself and his family.Friday night, is just another chance for people to recognize the talent and yes the personality that we know as Shaq. Its going to be quite a night.Frankly its quite a class with him as well: ABA superstar Zelmo Beaty, 27-year NBA referee Darell Garretson, 11-time NBA All-Star Allen Iverson, two-time NABC Coach of the Year Tom Izzo, the first African-American coach in a professional league John McLendon, early African American Pioneer Cumberland Posey, iconic Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf, four-time WNBA Champion Sheryl Swoopes and global ambassador of the game Yao Ming.I just have a feeling that Shaq may just own the night.
