Okay, so this is coming from a HUGE fan of Shaq. I have watched him ever since he came into the NBA with the Magic in 92-93. I cried when they got swept by the Rockets in 95 (mind you, I was a young kid). When Shaq was with the Lakers and they were on a run with Phil and Kobe, it was some of the greatest sport watching of my life. Then there was the ugly split which I wrongfully blamed on Kobe (thanks Phil Jackson on your ridiculous book "The Lost Season", which I immediately purchased as soon as it came out.) Just in case you guys have not read it, Phil pretty much blames Kobe and says hes not coming back to the Lakers.

Anyways, Shaq was traded to the Heat and Wade carried them to one of the luckiest championships I have ever witnessed. This team was dead in the fourth quarter being down 2-0 in the Finals, and then somehow, the Heat came back with all those ridiculous and sometimes phantom foul calls on Wade.

When Shaq was traded to the Suns, I could not believe what Steve Kerr had done. His team had an identity, and then traded for a 36 year old fat-ass whose best years were WAY behind him. Not only that, but there was no way in hell Shaq was ever going to work in their system. Although Shaq helped their interior rebounding, he completely took their entire team down.

Then Shaq came to the Cavs. My intital reaction was holy shit! Now Shaq gets to play with one of the best players in the league, if not the best. I couldn't believe it. No way the Cavs would lose now.

Well...once again I'm wrong (or atleast I hope I'm not). Shaq is way past him prime, if he wouldn't have been such a lazy fat ass back in his prime, he could have extended his career and might not have missed so many games. If he would have just put his massively sized ego away in L.A., him and Kobe should have won MANY more championships.

But don't get me wrong. I still love the Big Fella to death. He honestly cracks me up everytime he talks. He either doesn't make any sense, makes an awful attempt at a joke, or is putting someone down/criticizing someone's play.
