<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">Who else does that? Kobe? Steve Francis? Marbury? Bibby? Allan Houston? McGrady? Nowitzki? Jermiane O'Neal? They may get hurt but they sure as crap don't sit out with a phantom injury to mask the fact that they are whining because they don't get their way.... Shaq is soft</div> So you admit that Shaq is doing it because he isn't getting his way? How does that make him soft? That just means that he is trying to prove a point, and it has nothing to do with his ability to play through pain. If he wanted to he would be out there. Call him selfish, lazy, haughty, etc but don't call him soft. He is not soft in any way, shape, or form.
Shaq is faking it and during kobes injured he says kobes faking it..... now lets get the facts straight here, kobe is the one with his shooting shoulder popped, and shaq just strained his calf and how the hell is kobe back before him............. poor kobe.. i really want him to opt out the lakers and be the man on the other team. as long as kobe is with lakers and shaq... it will always be shaq's team.. as far as i have seen kobe is always behind the shadows of shaq im sick of shaq....
For all the Shaq Haters out there!! He is BACK!! Even though he just played 18 minutes and only made 7 point he made the crowd feel his present.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheHitman:</div><div class="quote_post">poor kobe.. i really want him to opt out the lakers and be the man on the other team</div> You call yourself a Laker fan and you write garbage like this?
Does Shaq realize that the Laker team is built for him, and him alone? He is and has been for the past 6-7 years the sole focal point of management's attempts to assemble a group of complimentary players to maximize his effectiveness. They didn't put people like Fisher and Fox on this team to give Kobe the reins. Those guys (and past role players) are here because Shaq--and no one else--is expected to lead them, to motivate them, to set a positive example both on and off the court. He has repeatedly let them down by taking the scrub's way out whenever possible, and don't think for a moment that's it's any different right now.

Shaq gets not enough respect, remember Penny in orlando? He said he didnt need shaq to win, hes garbage now. I guarantee if Kobe leaves, hes not bringin a championship to any other team other than if they were already a contender. It was always about Kobe, Shaq is finally realizing that the Lakers are garbage without him. Hes provin a point, without him, they cant win at all
