"Abraham Lincoln" <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jackson was asked which figure from American history Miami center Shaquille O'Neal would be. O'Neal recently called Jackson "Benedict Arnold" after his former coach criticized his work ethic before the Christmas game. "Well, to me Shaq has always been Abraham Lincoln," Jackson said. "He's a great emancipator. He frees everybody up to say the things they want to say so that he can deliver the ultimate blow." </div> Source
this is getting silly (actually it's always been silly) I wish both of these "men" would just shut up.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Check facts.</div> "Conflict over issues of how much control the federal government should have over the states, industrialization, trade, and especially slavery had increased tension between Northern and Southern states. After Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860, 11 Southern states seceded (or withdrew) from the Union and set up an independent government--the Confederate States of America. These events led to the outbreak of the Civil War--a brutal, bloody, four-year conflict that left the South defeated and ended slavery at the cost of more than half a million lives." -America'slibrary.gov Yeah I know my US History. No need to check facts but if you still have any doubt's I googled it for you.
How bout we keep this discussion to basketball cause to tell you the truth I hate my US history class year and this is bringing back bad memories...and bad grades I wish people would be adults and be quiet in the NBA, but I guess things like this also makes the game fun.....oh well gotta have some bad with the good right?
Who cares about being adults, this is ENTERTAINING and fun lol. Why let Shaq get the last word? I'm glad Phil came back, it also shows that he has Kobe's side now, and I'm sure that makes Kobe feel real good.
Shaq's feelings have to be hurt by this. I think he thought the whole time Phil was behind him, but it turns out, Phil knew who the better man was.
Abraham Lincoln! ROTFLMFAO ouch, another blow from the Zen Master! I wonder how Shaq is going to react after hearing this lol.
