OT Shaquille O'Neal: I Only Played 30 Percent Of My Real Game

[stampedehero]

Not to mention people have the debate over who was the best basketball/rapper and people always say shaq because his album went platinum or whatever. Which yeah, he was a decent rapper but not on that dame level. Shaq can be a funny dude sometimes but man he's full of shit

> He's big enough to hold a lot of it too. The best career move was consulting an acting specialist.

Webber was better

Some people watched a 7'3" tall man who was as slow as molasses suddenly accelerate out of Shaq's way via a butt bump that NEVER got called.

I watched Sabas' entire Blazer career too, but I'm not going to deny Shaq's ability. I'd wager that more uncalled fouls were committed against Shaq than by him over the course of his career.

Which also worked in his favor, since hacking him as he was bullying his way to the basket still resulted in two points, while calling the foul for the hack before the shot would have put him on the free throw line.

 

[BBert]

So Shaq's game was 30% bullying his way to the basket, 30% driving around people, 30% dribbling the ball up the court, and 30% shooting pick and pops. But he never got to do that other stuff because he was so dominate inside. At least he didn't claim to be a facilitator.

Chicken or the egg?

Shaq won championship due fot the reason Kobe Byrant and Wade. Wade championship series he did nothing it was all Wade. Shaq being out of shape cost him with serious injuries at the end of his career.

I don't know about that.



Looks like 30/15 with 3 APG and 2+ blocks in two of those championship runs. He played over 40 MPG, too.

PER for those three playoffs: 28.7, 28.3, 30.6.

I'm a big Dwayne Wade fan. He can't win championships on his own. He won only with teammates like Shaq and LeBron. Also, Shaq was 33 years old when he helped Wade win the championship.

Not only where such fouls uncalled, the fouls generally were brutally hard. The guy was so big, opposing players must have thought he could take the beating. But it was still a serious beating.

30% sounds about right. He never "played his game" in the offseason, preferring to work on rap albums and his acting "career", and then he generally coasted and took long stretches off prior to the all star break. He generally, only played his game for the last two months of the regular season and the playoffs.

He never developed a go to move, other than knock his defender into the first row, not get called for the obvious offensive foul, and dunk. He spent no time at all working on improving his game during the offseason, as evidence by the fact that he never improved his FT shooting and never developed a go to move. He idolized Hakeem, who had all kinks of low post moves, but never tried to emulate him.

Imagine how dominant he could have been if he had been ultracompetitive like Jordan or his asshole teammate Kobe. Most dominant ever? Nope, Wilt, Jordan and Kareem in his prime were all more dominant.

Good. Couldn't happen to a more boorish jerk. I hate that fucktard. Worse than Kobe.

Fuck. Shaq.

The most protected center in history.

Fuck him.

I've always thought he was the biggest underachieving NBA player I've ever seen. He let himself go physically & played most of his career at least 50 lbs overweight & he never developed any skills that didn't come naturally. If he'd had an average NBA player's drive to succeed/compete, he would have easily been in the GOAT discussion.

Of course I hated the way the refs bent over backwards to cater to him & the way the National Announcers were constant apologists for his pathetic antics. Yeah, his hands are too big for him to shoot FTs, sure... Fuck him is right

STOMP

Yeah Shaq got away with a lot of shit...should have fouled out every game the way he played. I remember no one could even come close to touching him or they'd get a whistle.

I like Dudley standing up for himself. Shaq shoved him down pretty hard

and people want to hate on my boy sheed for calling out the refs when we played the l*kers.

Love Sheed.

Maybe Shaq really meant that he only claims 30% of the children he's fathered.

I still remember when he followed that ref out to the parking lot....yeah the refs screwed us so bad against the boys in yellow

Dick Bavetta went to work in that 4th quarter helping the Lakers outscore the Blazers 31 to 13.

He did that game by himself? When did it go to a one man crew?

He was looking at me.....................oops, pardon me he was staring at me. Boo fricken hoo.

Hey, note to all refs. The players are the ONLY ones who EVER want to look at you. We don't care that you are there as long as you do a good job, otherwise you can be anonymous.

Where in the hell are robot refs when you need them?

 

[jlprk]

Ron Garretson should have gotten down on his knees and THANKED SHEED for being the only person, other than the leaders of the crappy Sheed-hating Oregonian, who could STAND to look at him.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

And now Ronny's nephew Darrell is the QB at OSU, and I'm supposed to NOT associate the two every time I see/hear his name?
