Aaron Carter is at the Murray Theater tonight; hopefully he'll elaborate on the time he beat Shaq

Dear GYA, One of the greatest mysteries in the game of basketball occurred on the afternoon of February 6, 2001, when former pop-sensation Aaron Carter allegedly defeated Shaquille O'Neal in a game of one-on-one. Though implausible on every level, Carter had this to say about the game:
To this day, no one believes him. Do you think he'll shed some light this tonight? - Mark Blasher, The Avenues
Mark, it's difficult to separate fact from fiction when it comes to matters of this nature. But in the song, "That's How I Beat Shaq," Carter hints at a spectacular maneuver where he tricked Shaq into thinking his shoes were untied. Lol, classic Aaron Carter. Here's the details on tonight's show:
One time pop-star Aaron Carter, Nick Carter's brother, will be at the Murray Theater this evening. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15.
A few other options for tonight:
The Utah Jazz are kicking preseason games tonight with the Portland Trailblazers. The game starts at 7 p.m. Tickets start at $10.
City Weekly, True TV and Brewvies will be showing the final season of Sons of Anarchy for free on the big screen tonight! The show starts at 8 p.m.
