True perhaps, but why single out a second year end-of-the-bench player who by all accounts is a decent kid who plays hard. I had begun to think of Shaq as an elder statesman and was kind of starting to like him. These remarks though are utterly classless. What a jerk. |
Remember the year he said something like "I'm really playing horrible. I'm playing like (or maybe it was "worse than") Erick Dampier." I think he thinks he is being funny when he says these things, instead of just plain mean. Like alot of people who have a certain charisma, when it comes right down to it they don't like other people very much and don't hesitate to say something at their expense just to get a laugh or some attention. Plus frankly I don't think Shaq is all that smart to think through the impact of his comments. Completely self-involved and spoiled. That said I hope he can get it together to help Steve Nash have a decent playoffs this year.
