Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." Shaq's comments Not only does he take a shot at kobe but now his taking shots at our other former players? The same players who bailed his ass out in countless of games? Or how about in 2001 when kobe beat the spurs? Or how about when kobe bailed him out in game 4 of the 2000 finals when shaq couldn't keep away from a simple loose ball foul? Or how about when kobe carried the lakers agains the spurs in the 2002 playoffs? Or how about when Robert horry bailed out Shaq when he couldn't make a field goal in 4th quarter of game 4 against the kings? Or how about when kobe bailed the lakers out agains the blazers in 2004? Or how about .4? Or how about the other countless times his teamates bailed him out because he couldn't preform? Someone needs to put this guy in his place. He is no MDE, mde doesn't get slowed down by Divac. MDE doesn't need a superstar guard to bail him out everytime it comes to the crunch. Infact every gamewinner I've seen shaq attempt his missed.
Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." I dont like Shaq as a person, He has one of the biggest egos in NBA history.He had the nerve to say ?Rick Barry?s resume is not good enough to even come into my office to be qualified for a job. I will shoot negative-30 percent before I shoot underhanded,?It's rediculus. The Lakers traded the right person.Oh yeah Shaq, For the record. Dywane Wade won the title. Not you.
Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." If you grew up like Shaquille O'Neal did, you would have a giant ego as well....If you grew up bigger than everyone else, dominated at everything...everyday being told your a prodigy and superstar...etc...Outside of the game Shaq is good to people and does a lot of charity and doesn't break the law so it's hard for me to not like him. I think you guys are making a big deal out of the quotes...he said I won the first 3 titles and my teammates won the last one for me (obviously he averaged 15 less ppg and had much less statistical impact...etc). We all know Shaq thinks he won those titles because of himself, this is nothing really new, he's always going to take more credit for it and minimize Kobe.

And although I don't agree that Shaq is the only reason LA won 3 titles, he was the biggest piece to the puzzle IMO. He was the most dominant player in the league at that time, by far, and he knew it. He's not very humble, we know that, and he knows he's a bad ass so he voices it.But you know what, I still love Shaq. He may have an oversized ego, but so does half the NBA, but he is really a funny guy and he's a true winner.And Tony, you said "Wade won it." Sure, he was easily Finals MVP and the best player on the team, but they wouldn't have been there without Shaq. Either way, Shaq didn't even say anything about Miami's championship, he actually praised D-Wade more than enough in every interview. He was talking about the Lakers titles.

Shaq did win the first 3, that's why he won MVP all 3 times, not to mention a regular season MVP. Mr. Rape has no MVPs of any kind, except in Colorado(ohsnap!). Mr Rape and Shaq both have massive egos, but Shaq's at least in the community helping out, though probably for the wrong reasons. But yeah, don't you remember that high school vid, he was already a big star and he said(rofl): "I want to make 6.2 millions". Classic moments, especially since he makes 3x that as an aging 35 year old.

Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." This is what I hate. People giving Shaq a free pass because he is shaq. If any other player came out with something similar they'd be accused of being cocky.
Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." Wow, I know Shaq act's like he's god but damn. He deserves to be shot in the face in front of his children for that.And yes, Kobe does have bigger fish to fry that Raja Bell, the dude can't guard Kobe. And besides, Kobe don't care about the Suns, he has 3 f*cking rings. sh*t, he don't need to care about chumps who throw around big words.
Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." Shaq's ego was hurt when the Lakers chose to trade him and he can't accept that up to now.Shaq wants to be a remembered as one of the greats but legends don't make those kind of comments ...............I don't hear MJ saying that he's the only reason why the bulls won. Phil was the one who gave the Lakers those rings not Shaq, he couldn't win S H I T before the zen master got here.NOTE: take away shaq and give us KG or Duncan.......... as long as we have phil we will still end up with those 3 rings.

Despite all the things he says, his feelings get hurt a lot. That's why Phil Jackson always treated him nicely and made Kobe the scapegoat. PJ knew Kobe could take harsh criticism better than Shaq.

Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." And his 2 buzzer beaters in game 4, and 50pts/8reb/5assists on 20-35 shooting in game 6 is a typical Mr Rape performance too, right
Re: Shaq: "Those first three championships, I won them." Shaq is one cocky son of a bi*ch. I have grown to like him as a person more and more but he really is way too cocky. He had ALOT of help when he played for the Lakers and when he got those 3 championships. Sure, he was the best player and had the biggest impact on his team but he wouldnt have won it all if he didnt have Kobe and the few good role players that he had.
