    Absolutely not! There is no way that Shaq will get three more rings (remember... two to tie MJ, and three to surpass him) before his career ends. He's just too old, and his game is declining.The only way he gets three more rings is if the Heat win the next three championships, and that just is not going to happen.

    The only way he keeps winning championships is if Wade takes his game to another level. I don't think he can and Shaq will decline even more next year.

    At max, Shaq gets 1 more ring. Shaq's performance every year has declined, although I still think he will be a very dominant force this year, I do not think in 2 years he will be putting up the same numbers as he is now.

    I agree. Shaq will not tie or pass MJ's record of 6 titles. Shaq probably only has about 3 years left in his career. His game is declining each year. But I think the Heat will win one more mainly because of DWade and the rest of the team contributing like this past season.

    No, Shaq wont win more rings than MJ. Here's a question: Will anybody ever win more than Bill Russell's 11 rings? Screw MJ's six, a lot of players have six.

    no he will not he is on the way out- that was the last one he'll get. Barring him trying a gary payton (moving teams to try and find a ring)

    Well, IMO, he will not get more rings than him but if you think about it, what is holding him back from doing so? Sure, you can say that he is aging but Dwyane Wade at the same time is getting better as we speak. Shaq is still going to draw doubles when he touches the ball and if he doesnt, then he is going to dominate. Yes, he is going downhill, but Shaq is still the 2nd best center in the leauge if not the best. Also, his supporting cast besides Dwyane is still great. The pg combo in Jason Williams and Gary Payton is good. There is a veteran leader and an explosive PG that has great shooting and passing ability. James Posey is a great set shooter and a solid defender. Udonis is a great rebounder and has a good mid range. Alonzo is one of the top ten centers in the league and he is coming off of the bench. And their are more such as Derek Anderson and others....So even if Shaq goes downhill, his team could still win 2 more championships IMO but they would have to be within the next 3 seasons.EDIT: Im just trying to change it up a bit and show you that its not impossible

It's just damn near impossible in this era of basketball... with so many ttalented players and teams, the amount of player movement in the NBA today due to free agency, and not to mention the abundance of talent entering the NBA through the draft every year.
