Sometimes I do. Sure he helps the team out but he's getting too much. They picked Shaq because he would be a major "presence" at the Olympics, but didn't pick Allen Iverson who works so much harder....

he is so full of crap, he just keeps the black community down and the problem there is THEY don't even see that! this is a guy who black mailed the burger king corporation into giving him money or else who would annouce that they are racist because they didn't have a certain "black employee percentage"?!?!? and he has done this to several other companies as well, he is one of the most racist people i hear about in todays news, he needs to start talking to the rappers if he wants to kill that word, they ARE the ones who keep it alive and thriving

He wants publicity. Think about it. He hosted his own show "The Benefactor," what a dumb show that was. He constantly makes public appearences and he jumps out on the court during games. Did you see him after the Suns series? He was holding the trophy jumping around like he did something. All he did was buy the team. He is a huge distraction for the players and I think Avery is sick of him. But his latest antics, I think he realized that the Mavs were done after game 5 so he said the NBA was rigged and got himself in the media of course....Tomorrow he'll stand outside of David Stern's houe with a sign saying that the NBA is Unfair.

I haven't figured it out either. He's a jackass. He's overrated and his fans suck. His fans are the worst part of it, that and the extreme media bias.

I hate Shaq. He is so over rated. You would think after being in the league as long as he has you would possibly be able to make free throws. He fouls like you said every time he backs some down in the paint. I consider him a turd that comes out of my ass with arms and legs. I wish someone would pull a Nancy Kerrigan on his on him. I'm a huge Kobe, and Artest fan because they play defense as well as put up points. Yea they have had their share of incidents but they play are complete players!

I feel it's because he was wrongfully let go. I just think people from L.A. want to see him succeed w/o Kobe so he can prove how much Kobe needed Shaq and not the other way around.

Seiously.I fell you...\n\nHe pisses me off not just cause I am Spurs fan but because he is a nerd that gets too much attention.\nFor example...\nSports broadcasters keep reading his bogs about the Fn refs...\nWhen last game Van exel got kicked out, Tim Duncan got BS callas and oh yeah I saw good ol Mark slip a 100,000 check in the refs pants.\n\nI mean why not right, he gets fined that much so he figures why not just pay the ref's..\nOf course I'm kidding...I am serious about him needing to get away.\nHe is an Fn owner of a team...NOT A PLAYER\n\nAvery "lLil General" Johnson should put that butch in his place...he is the coach of the yeaSo don’t worry,yahoo won’t take gim oyt of the equation but Avery’s loudA*s*s speech will : )

Yeah.  It was called "I am the most overrated baller ever.  I rode the coattails of MJ and there were 30 guys in the league at all times that were better then me."\n\nI think the name was a bit too long and that's why it didn't sell.

Shaq is getting old.  You should compare Wade and Dirk instead.  Wade has been carrying the Heat on his back.  Shaq has missed some key free throws.  He is still a good center..but not as dominant. Dirk is good...been hitting his shots...but really didn't show up in Game 3.  Wade is best.

Wondering if anyone still wants to buy a Little Penny t-shirt like back in the day.\n\nRemembering what it was like to be Shaq's little buddy like D-Wade is now.\n\nDreaming about still having a career

Are you talking about present and old Shaq or dominant young Shaq?\n\nIn terms of accomplishments, no doubt Shaq takes this one. He's got 4 trophies, an MVP award, and seriously, no one can defend him in the post during the Lakers era.\n\nIn terms of present talent, as much as I like Shaq, I go with Gasol on this one. The reason? Pau's the undeniable leader of this team, while Shaq plays second-fiddle to D-Wade. Although Shaq's dominance is still there in some games, he's not that consistent. Pau's game is 20 and 10 almost every game. And freethrow shooting is a critical part too.

I find the decision to suspend Jerry Stackhouse incredibly stupid.\nIt was a good old hard foul! Whenever Shaq or Haslem fouls one of the Dallas players hard, do they get suspended? NO!\n\nI think David Stern is doing everything he possibly can to stop Mark Cuban from getting his hands on the NBA Championship. It's stupid.\n\nBut the Mavs are gonna show David Stern, Shaq, and all those Heat fans what they're made of tonight.\n\nGO MAVS!!

It's a combination of things, and several previous posters got it right.\n\nFirst, a majority of the centers in the NBA totally suck, and flopping is their only chance to 'stop' Shaq down low...so they flop... many times they get away with it and an offensive foul is called on Shaq, other times, Shaq gets away with it.\n\nOn the other hand, if they're going to be totally 'fair', that would mean they would have to call a foul on the opposing player whenever Shaq is fouled... they don't come close to doing this, as Shaq is fouled almost every time he touches the ball... Most centers would foul out of the game before halftime if they called them every time they fouled Shaq.\n\nShaq gets called for more offensive fouls than any center in the NBA... again, because he's practically the only center in the NBA who can do something with the ball when he DOES get it down low, and because centers do nothing but flop, Shaq is going to get a lot of offensive foul calls.  Zydrunas Ilgauskas, for example, despite being 7'3", is not going to get called for a lot of offensive fouls, because he can't do anything with the ball when he DOES get it, so he'll usually just pass it out of the post (then the announcers will tell us what a great passer he is)...\n\nMost of the people who complain about Shaq are just pissed off because Shaq is always abusing their team's center... Kind of like he's doing to Ben Wallace in this series... and Ben's supposed to be the 2nd best center in the NBA???  What a joke...\n\nFinally, Shaq is getting the benefit of (1) playing more than 10 years in the league and (2) being one of the 50 greatest players (he's actually top ten).

They passed on Michael Jordan back in the day for Sam Bowie.  They trade Jermaine O'Neil for Dale Davis and they they pass on Chris Paul.  All things I've gotten to expect from the management now. It is a shame the blazers are that bad since the owner (Paul Allen) is one of the richest people in the world.  But he is also one of the cheapest.  I think we need new ownership and I believe it is going to happen soon.  He claims that the team will lose 100 million in the next 3 years, so he's asking for state funding after giving ownership of the arena.  I hope he sells the team very soon.
