I was waiting for this post to come up. I read up on the Nets articles everyday and hearing Shaq's comments are ridiculous. I have slowly lost respect for him as a professional. I'm beginning to think his cockiness is the sole destroyer of the Laker dynasty. I'd like to remind the board of last season's 1st round playoffs where NJ was swept by Miami. Shaq made comments calling Lawrence Frank a whiner,

"'O'Neal, who on Saturday warned Frank not to "wake me up," left this parting shot Sunday: "I wish they'd go to a manly tactic. No whining. When he whined, that's when I changed his name to Laura Frank."'

Now 2006 when the Nets beat the Heat, Shaq runs his mouth even more.

"When asked if the Nets are in the same class as the Pistons and Heat, Shaq said: "If they keep getting help like that, then yeah. That was the most ridiculous game I've ever been a part of. When you've got a guy like Stu Jackson at the top, it shows why those referees are the way they are. It starts at the top."

Shaq can expect a fine for his remarks."

In closing, Shaq is unprofessional and a hypocrite. Great role model for our young ones. I'd love to see the Nets take Shaq and the Heat down in the 2006 playoffs. See what he says then.
