Did Shaq’s Comments Embarrass Steve Kerr?
That’s the claim that Pat Riley is making.
In a bizarre twist to this ongoing saga, Pat Riley has now thrown Steve Kerr into the feud.
“We have sutured up the stab wounds in the back so everybody’s waiting for another onslaught,'’ Riley said Thursday. “That’s how we look at it.'’
“I got a great call from Steve Kerr, who is absolutely embarrassed,'’ Riley said. “He was embarrassed by it. And so I said, ‘We are too.’ We feel like we’re two first-class organizations and I think the people should be aware of that.'’
See, that right there is just dumb. Why get Steve Kerr involved in this at all? Whatever sympathy Riley may have gained from the basketball community following Shaq’s harsh remarks is now going to vanish.
Of course, this only gets better: Once Riley realized the gaffe he made, and after talking it over with Kerr, the slick-haired one was quick to claim that he exaggerated the part about the Suns GM being embarrassed. Making him a snitch and a liar. Outstanding.

In my view Riley can say whatever the hell he wants to get back at that fat lazy b*tch, true or not

I’m glad it’s you, because I feel like unleashing on someone, but I’ll wait it out for a while.

Anyone who sided with Riles over Shaq is an idiot and this just proves it. Quinn and Buckets? Yea, they will lead the Heat to the promised land.

What Riley did was basically win a championship for the city and now their paying for it. He put all his eggs in one basket after he signed Shaq. Shaq is just dirty he got traded by Riley, when he should be grateful.

Orlando says:
I think we can all agree that Shaq was dumb do say what he said and that the Miami Heat are really are a joke and should be pushed down to the d-league….I really hope they don’t get a good draft pick.

Squirrel7 says:
I agree with Orlando, I’d laugh if Heat shut everyone down hoping to get the #1 draft pick, and dropped to 5th, or something (like someone last year, can’t remember who off the top of my head!)

The Heat are now what the Florida Marlins were that one year when they one the World Series and then proceeded to unload everyone and finish at the bottom of their division the next year, except they didn’t unload everyone they just got old……..

First shaq is a cry baby. I like the suns better without him in the middle. Shaq left a big mess in miami and should have stayed there and cleaned up or atleast keep his mouth shut.

I THINK SHAQ IS AN IDIOT, HE SAYS WE DIDN’T SURROUND HIM WITH GOOD PLAYERS BUT HE WAS GIVING A HALF A** EFFORT THE LAST YEAR. NOW HE GETS TO PHOENIX AND HE IS SPRINTING DOWN TO COURT AND GIVING 150%. FACT IS MIAMI GOT THE MATRIX WHO IS A REAL ATHLETE AND PHOENIX GOT A WASHED UP BIG MAN WHO DOESNT FIT INTO THERE SYSTEM AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE THE REASON STEVE KERR LOSES HIS JOB! SO GOOD LUCK WITH SHAQ PHOENIX AND DONT WORRY SOON YOU LL BE WATCHING THE PLAYOFFS FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN COUCH…

Do people really feel bad for Riley in the 1st place? He left a squad that’s falling apart to Ron Jeremy, who worked hard for 3 years and when he finally had a contender on his hand, Riley screwed him over and take the glory all by himself. What a backstabber!!!

JC,if you’ve ever been on a god-awful team then your will to compete consistently gets sapped quickly, the suns are emptying on the bottle and trying to get a final few drops out of it before it goes totally dry, they’ll try and ship him off at seasons end to some other team if possible i think.

Pat to Shaq: “… et tu, aristotle?” Actually, Shaqueeta is the big @sshole-stotle. I can’t believe that Li Ning gave him a shoe contract.
