Re: Shaq disses Oden Maybe his view will change when he has time to watch Oden in the playoffs. Hey Shaq please get your fishing gear ready because your going to be on the first boat out of port.
Re: Did Shaq really call Oden No, no--MIXUM bags on the entire team; Hank only bags on Oden and (when playing) Webster. Totally different gigs.
Re: Did Shaq really call Oden Shaq in his twilight has been three times as good as Oden. Shaq can say whatever the hell he wants about Oden.
Re: Did Shaq really call Oden Yeah he can talk talk talk all the way to an early vacation. Everyone has the right to talk, but he's still a dickhead. Most players have what we refer to as "class" when talking about other players. But if makes grandfather Shaq feel better about himself, then yay for him.
Re: Shaq disses Oden I wouldn't get upset over this. Shaq is known for "dissing" opponents: Phil Jackson, Dampier, Kobe, Howard, Vlade Divac, Bynum, Bosh, etc. It's what makes Shaq, Shaq.
Re: Shaq disses Oden I'm not sure how you can get TOO upset about this, considering his ridiculous (but hilarious) extended metaphor of feudal Japan. Shogun versus ninja? Sounds like a blockbuster kung-fu action movie to me! (It also sounds like the kind of movie where the lowly ninja takes down the mighty shogun at the end, for what it's worth...)
Re: Shaq disses Oden Shaq is a dick, and always has been a dick. If you saw the game last night, where they showed the play last year where Shaq fell forward, shoving the ball into Joel's face, pounding Joel's head to the floor....that removes all doubt he's a dick.
Re: Shaq disses Oden Shaq seems so cool off the court, but such an ass on the court..hard to respect someone so hypocritical.
Re: Did Shaq really call Oden He was misquoted. The real "Big Disappontment" is a veteran team with two former MVPs failing to make the play-offs. This is a team with a combined 32 all-star game appearances, 3 former ROYs, 3 MVP awards and a ton of play-off experience. Yet, last night with the play-offs on the line, they got blown out and embarassed on national TV by a bunch of inexperienced, young upstarts. Yeah, I'd be disappointed, too. BNM
Re: Shaq disses Oden Shaq dissed David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming, Dwight Howard...omg, look how they turned out. Good news for Oden!
Big yawn. Shaq has a history of dissing anyone who's not Shaq - be they opponents, former teammates or former coaches. Doesn't really matter. In the end, the Blazers will make the play-offs and the Suns won't. So, as a Blazers fan, I just have one thing to say to Shaq. Shaq, tell me how my ass tastes! BNM
Ya, I don't see anything wrong with that. In his own way he is just saying he's a rookie now, not a vet. What's to argue about? As others have said the Joel thing is bs, but I think it's his own sign of respect for Joel. Trying to get in his head.
I'm sorry, are you saying squishing Joel's head between the floor and an NBA regulation-sized basketball is a sign of respect?
Shaq's a dominant pre-game demonstration organizer. He'll have all offseason to practice that, too. Ed O.
Loved how Shaq was looking at Gentry in the fourth quarter to let him back in, and he never did get back in since the coach threw in the towel at the end of the third.
