"Jermaine O'Neal slapped a cop once. Do you respect HIM?"

uhhhh that was Uncle Cliffie as a rookie.

I don't believe I have ever seen a more unpleasant player(to me
anyway) get so much attention and have people stick up for him.

He acted like he could have cared less while here in Portland.
He was sour toward the fans ,surely didn't give his all as others
have expressed.
A horrid player toward the press,blamed all his misfortune on them !
At times was utterly invisible and not even in the game !

That seemed so weird the way he would not even be in the plays !
Now suddenly as a role player on another team..and basically
that's what he is..
He is "leading teams,winning championships"..etc.

What surprizes me,is that some people who are kneeling in front
of him now..were invisible here when he was stinking it up.
where were they then??
Nathan..where were you then???
I don't remember you slobbering all over him for the last 8 years.
why now??
It seems to me a deliberate way to dig at fans here.
I am only speaking for myself.. but it seems to be like a game for you.

Again...where have you been for the 8 years of his highjinks ????

Jackie, Jermaine O'Neal was arrested for cursing at a cop, my bad. He was still disrespectful and ARRESTED (Sheed has NEVER been arrested.)

You know what I don't understand? You hate Sheed, fine. And you see Sheed's name in the thread and yet....... HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU CLICKED ON THIS THREAD??? 8 times??? 10 times??? It seems that ALL YOU WANT TO READ ABOUT and talk about is Sheed. Prove you don't care about Sheed by no longer clicking on this thread and posting (which bumps the thread back to the top).

As for Sheed's 8 years of hijinx, here are a few I can think of:

*Game winning shots vs Orlando, Golden State, Dallas, Lakers.

* Game high 30 pts in Game 7 at Staples Center vs Lakers in 2000 WCF.

* 22 playoff wins.

* Made the playoffs all 8 years.

* Never arrested- not for rape, not for drugs, not for spousal abuse. Never arrested at all.

* Came up with a respectful way to answer questions without offending people ("Both teams played hard. God bless and goodnight.") but was then asked to speak his mind so he DID.

whoa...you had better relax.
you are a little bit wired up here.

Nathan !
PLEASE stop saying I hate Sheed.
I do not.

I just can't stand him.
That is different than hate .

Ill give him this. He hit alot of great game winning shots for us this year and in years past. He was alwasy underrated in the clutch.


He had a great game. And im not trying to take anything away from his performance, but we lost. While on the topic of great preformances in loosing causes in confrence finals, Jermaine O'Neal had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks while loosing game 7 to the Pistons.


He may have helped, but he sure as hell didnt get the wins on his own. Darko Millicic and Tremaine Fowlkes also got 22 playoff wins if you want to look at it like this.


Players dont make the playoffs, teams make the playoffs.


Sheed is a good person. But, lemme tell you a tale. My friend was really good friends with Sheed's oldest step-son before he went to boarding school. They would chill at Sheed's alot, and Sheed would ALWASY be smoking weed. Now, I have no problem with marijuana. I dont think it is a big deal, because it doesnt hurt anyone. Im just trying to point out that even the great Rasheed Wallace has flaws.

But, from what I heard, he was a good dad. He would actually do charity work and not tell people because he didnt care about publicity. He also wouldnt let his own kids smoke weed(At least not around him).



I am a Wallace fan. I cheered him on during the playoffs. I love his game, and his attitude. He isnt a great guy to people he doesnt know, but once he gets to know you, from what I have heard, he is great guy.

The only reason I disagree with this thread is it seems you are trying to paint Sheed as the savior that carried the Pistons into the playoffs. If anything, Sheed was an equal contributor on a great team that played great team basketball. So, if you wanna talk about Sheed as a primary reason the Pistons wont the championship, at least mention that he had 3 other guys that were at least equally as good as him helpin Wallace get that trophy.

Jermaine O'Neal's Pacers lost to the Pistons in SIX.

Darko has only won 16 playoff games, not 22, and he didn't play in all of them so it's not even 16.

Yes, Sheed had good teammates this year. If only he had good teammates in 2000, we would have won the title. On PAPER, he had good teammates, but let's go back to that Game 7. You said he had a good game but we still lost. Why is that? Look at Sabonis' contribution. Look at Brian Grant's. Look at Damon's. Even look at Pippen. If TWO of those guys had played an AVERAGE game, we would have won.

Did I ever say Sheed was the primary reason they won? I don't think so. But I DO think the Piston players nearly said as much. They all said the #1 reason they believed they could win was because they had Sheed.
