<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Shaquille O'Neal cursed during a live postgame television interview Sunday, the Lakers superstar's second profane outburst this season. O'Neal fought foul trouble throughout the Lakers' 102-85 loss to Sacramento, finishing with just 10 points and five rebounds. A group interview session in the Lakers' locker room was breaking up when O'Neal made a profane response to a final question, asking him to clarify an earlier statement about the Kings' play. "Not impressed, not impressed," he said. "Not [expletive] impressed, you know what I mean?" At least one TV station was showing the interview live.</div> http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1780320 When will he learn? :shakehead
Shaq needs to watch his mouth. Seriously, all that illadvised swearing is really going to hurt Shaq's hollywood career. I mean he could end up losing all of his precious nestle crunch commericals. "Learn your lines young f*cking man!" I mean that just won't be tolerated down in Nestle land. If Shaq is so concerned about the way officals are officiating his games, why doesn't he just stop reaching in? That's where alot of his "ticky tac" fouls are coming from, and it's something that can be easily avoided on Shaq's part. Stop reaching in, start trying to block shots instead. He'll get those called against him EVERY time, remember last season he broke Bobby Jackson's hand on a reach foul and lost his team a game with a flagrant reaching foul against Steve Francis and Houston.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Rudeezy:</div><div class="quote_post">Just goes to show his lack of intelligence.</div> Ditto. I hate when these big named players doing stuff like this when they know they're on TV.
Shaq is just an idiot. He really needs to shut that huge gorilla mouth of his and play some freakin' basketball for a change and live up to the DIESEL nickname that's tattooed on his arm. He was pathetic. He was worthless.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Chump:</div><div class="quote_post">They need to stop shoving the mic in his throat 5 seconds after a loss.</div>It is a part of basketball and it always has and will be a part of the game. These guys are getting paid millions, the least they can do is say something intelligent.
He could've done the Sheed Wallace.<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Both teams played hard</div> On the real, I can't believe he did that again. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">King Jamesx3 Learn your f'n line young man</div>
oh god. who cares. oh nooooooo he said a bad word *gasp* why does this become such a big deal? who cares if he offends some bleeding hearts. its nothing a young kid doesnt hear in the playground anyways. kids these days are smoking pot in their pre-teens...whats the big deal with hearing a swear word. the united states makes too big of a deal of a stupid word. "freedom of speech" oh...except a few words lol big deal
^David Stern does. The league is all about image, I don't personally care but since that Janet Jackson thing, america is tight with everything. U can't say this, u can't show that. Though you can hear them cursing alot during the game, it really shouldn't be a big deal IMO. I thought they was gonna make a big deal about it, but Kobe has been in the hot seat. So apparently it wasn't shown to everbody else in the country, cause I thought he would have to apologize again cause it's been aired to everybody. I guess not, so it's all good.

Young teens are getting drunk so should we just legalize it because they are already doing it? Who cares that people are losing their love ones because of drunk drivers, everybody's doing it. Shaq is being paid millions of dollars to play a game. I don't think asking Shaq not to cuss on television is too much too ask for.

Then why are people(not necessarily directed at you) bitching about him being fined and the league taking action? He broke a rule and now he is going to reap the consequences.<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">lol...i dont remeber advocating drunk driving, if your trying to relate driving drunk to swearing, i think your WAY off base. saying a word that in reality is going to cause no harm to anyone isnt anything even CLOSE to drinking</div> Yea but you compared cussing to smoking marijuana...is that the same thing?
