When Shaq played for the Lakers, I couldn't stand him. Being a Celtics fan his ability to just bowl people over on a drive and jam was so frustrating to watch.
NBA refs didn't know how to handle him.

Over the years, I've grown to really like him.

- He's a class act
- He's funny as hell (like on TNT)
- He gives back to the community
- He's a great role model
- He teaches respect for authority
- He's actually a humble guy

Everyone knows I can't stand LeBron. If LeBron over the years, matures and acts more like Shaq, I'd change my mind... I just don't see it happening.

Shaq is awesome when he plays for your team. Then he becomes a pain when he leaves.

All in all, he seems like a good guy (who is in about 32,324 different commercials)

I remember seeing him at a club when i was on college. It wasnt his height that impressed me. Its that he was thick as heck.

There is hope for Lebron after all
Just cause FZ hates you know does not mean he will hate you forever

Btw I’ve met Shaq twice and even played some pickup basketball with him at my local health club . Very cool guy .

I can tell you the exact day .
Was the first college football Saturday of the year . Right before his first season with Miami .

We played basketball with him in the morning then went to watch the LSU game that started at 2:30 that day and they interviewed him on tv and he was wearing the same clothes he was playing basketball in that morning . I thiufht

I blamed Shaq for the Penny Hardaway and Kobe Bryant situation. Other than that never had any issue with him. Fun as hell to watch, especially in Orlando. Monster,

He's recently admitted that he has made mistakes with his ex wife, Kobe, and Penny. I respect a man that can admit his mistakes. He's alright. I still like Barkley better. He's hilarious.

He's come out since then (about a week ago) and basically said that LeBron is a fucking pussy.

Shaq:
"nobody was ever scared of LeBron, right. So, if you’re not scared of a guy, you have much more confidence. And that’s a dangerous guy to play with.”

“They respect him but they don’t fear him.”.
Though there is one player in the league who is feared.

O’Neal believes that there is respect for LeBron among the younger player, but not fear.
“Giannis. They fear Giannis now… Yeah, they fear Giannis, cause they can see it in his face when he comin’ down the damn lane full court. They can see like, yo this guy not playin’.”

Dang. A post from you I actually agree with. Did hell freeze over?

My avatar knew what to do with Shaq

Poor Dale Brown, not even Jesus was enough


The player I hated but grew to respect was Kobe
