Shaq Isn’t Going Anywhere


by Marcel Mutoni

Prepare yourselves for two more years of lethargic post moves (seriously, I’ve seen old people eat faster); the distinct possibility of fouling out every single night; and enormous chunks of the fourth quarter spent firmly planted on the bench with a glazed look in his eyes.

Yup, you guessed it, Shaquille O’Neal will play out the remainder of his contract with the Miami Heat.

In an interview Thursday, ESPN Radio’s Jack Ramsay told O’Neal, “I don’t hear retirement in your voice.'’

Responded O’Neal: “No, never that. I am the son of an army drill sergeant, and when we enlist, we go full term. So I’ve got two years left on my term and after that, I’ll be looking to do other things.'’

“I’ve also got this nasty divorce taking place; you might have gotten wind of it.”

“While we’re on the subject of finances, do you have any idea how much I spend each month? It’s a considerable amount, compadre”, Shaq did not necessarily add.

Look, Shaq is a fatf-ck, but, aside from the nitwit who was the subject of Into The Wild, who on earth would walk away from $40,000,000?
It is shocking to me that Shaq is only 2 years older than I am. He moves like he is about 76.

Of course - he makes less than half as much and his deal expires this year.

Dr. Jack didn’t hear retirement in Shaq’s voice because Dr. Jack hasn’t been able to hear anything since 1986.

Myles Brown says:
Russ you better leave the big homie alone. I love Dr.Jack. If he and Marv could do every NBA broadcast, Id be a happy-well happier-man.

So if Shaq misses the rest of the season do my Hawks still have to replay the final 51.9 seconds of the game he fouled out of? They won’t be able to recreate that moment in time without him so……..

As an Alaskan, drop the Into the Wild comparisons.

James - To my knowledge, Alaskans hate that schmuck. No?

Gumdrop says:
Alaskans hate Shaq?

jbn74sb says:
Alaskans hate the guy who Into The Wild was based on.

Feel sorry for the Heat. They are my 3rd favorite team (i cant belive i just typed that) and having the Old Ariostle is not helping the rebuliding effort.

If only he could lose some weight…he could turn back the clock (somewhat) and dominate again.

I have a sinking suspicion that Shaq hates Into the Wild. Don’t know why.
