    Ick. I've read countless articles/editorials about how in order for the Lakers to dominate, Shaq has to lose some weight. Think back to when he was drafted. He must have been 100 pounds lighter. It's insane.

    i actually saw shaq at the galpin ford dealership a couple of weeks ago. he's actually not as big as you might think. i was shocked because he doesn't have a wide frame. i don't think he's overweight, he looked proportionate to me. he has some enormous hands though. his hand was about the size of my head and he has some enormous biceps. i think if anything shaq just needs to work on his cardiovascular. he likes to use the regular season to get into condition instead of getting into the proper conditioning in the off-season.

    He is too old to lose much weight....he won't do it.Duncan is 25 and as scary as this sounds..he will get better.Shaq won't..

    Indeed, if the Lakers want to put together another run, Shaq has to get down to 320-330lbs.

    exactly. he's too young to get any better. i think his career will just go down from here. i don't really think he's going to train much this off season. he might though. who knows.
