His game was mostly dunks back when he was good and now he never dunks. He throws up weak hooks. His defense on the pick and roll is awful. He is a non-impact player. Miami had both him AND Wade and they couldn't win AT ALL. Don't know why Kerr thought Shaq would help the Suns given his current state. The Suns were the #1 seed when the trade went down. Shaq's arrival pushed them down to #6 and a first round date with the champs and without home court advantage. I hope the Suns make a series of this but this deal was a mistake. I mean, even when the Heat won in 2006, Shaq did't make THAT big of an impact. In the Finals, he had some pretty bad games. It was Wade who carried them. They played well even when Shaq wasn't on the court.

Nice effort to keep up the ratings in Hollywood, for both your show and your career. Pass me the torch and I'll carry it. Shaq is a human being who is an arrogant fat egotistical sheriff wannabe who can't dunk, was hated by LA journalists as they laughed at his retarded jokes during press conferences, yelled at Buss to give him a raise during games, made an enemy of a superstar teammate, has the IQ of a toadfrog (sorry to insult toadfrogs, and nice new species there) on and on....But hey, isn't it terrible how Sheed used to behave? Let's talk about that, year after year, and worship Shaq. (The Portland media is a little different from the media in Shaq's cities.)
^thats way over the top....Its not his fault he has a good agent and the Kerr is a bad GM
He is just old but very serviceable
It is not over the top when Shaq claimed he was the missing peice to the Suns winning a championship and threw the Heat under a bus after leaving. Not a Spurs fan, but was extremely happy to see them win the first three.
Shaq has regressed so much its kind of sad. His game now is him resorting to his ugly line-drive hook shot that rarely falls. He can't even get in position to rebound, its kind of sad to think of what he once was. I'm thinking he's going to hang on as long as he can so he can pay off that money sucking ex-wife of his and to support his lavish lifestyle.
