Unkind words for O'Neal
June 28, 2008
It is so unfortunate and disgraceful what Shaq has done. The verbiage
of his rap attack was cheap as well as vulgar. Players need to take it
out on the court, not on air, with abuses and profanity. Shaq has
shown what he is made of.
I hope other fans of the game speak up and show their disdain at this
type of behavior.

So what do you do when you have a massive ego, your personal life is a
mess, and your once excellent basketball skills have become ordinary?
You "rap" about how you are better than the best center who ever
played the game (Kareem), and you blame Kobe because your wife left
you for another man. But Shaq, that isn't "freestylin." It's just a
"bum rap."

Shaquille O'Neal gave Kobe Bryant a "bum rap" to say the least. At
this late stage in his career, there's little Shaq could do for the
Lakers except further bloat their payroll. His scoring average in the
last three years has incrementally tanked from 20 a game in 2006, then
down to 17 last year, and finally 13.6 for this season. If it's a
numbers game he's rapping about, then Shaq will surely lose.
Maybe it's jealousy because he's no longer in the national spotlight.
Whatever reason or justification, O'Neal's ridiculous and infantile
attack on his former teammate only serves to belittle Shaq himself.

Shaq, I think it's only fair that you take the money you'll make from
your revived rap career and use it to reimburse Dwyane Wade's medical
expenses for the injuries he incurred carrying you to a championship.
Matthew Bilinsky

While Kobe may deserve criticism for various things, he has always
been an athlete far superior to Shaq, who has relied primarily on
intimidation and size to defeat opponents.
Perhaps Shaq should take a page from John Wooden's thoughts on life
and wisdom, that it's better (and I paraphrase) to say nothing and let
people think you're ignorant or foolish, than to open your mouth and
confirm it.

The big diesel became the big crybaby. He can't seem to be able to
handle his rapid decline so he rants out at Kobe. How sad.
Sol Bialeck

I wanted to tell Shaq not to give up his day job, but then I
remembered that he hasn't been doing too well at that one either.
