Shaquille O'Neal helps Westlake charity, endorses Kobe Bryant as NBA's best

Shaq collects peanut butter for Feed the Children

http://blog.cleveland.com/cavs_impact/2009/02/medium_shaqkidjg.jpgJoshua Gunter/The Plain DealerEight-year-old Noah Gabel, from Streetsboro, looks up at Shaquille O'Neal of the Phoenix Suns as O'Neal took part in Tuesday night's PD and Shaq charity fund raiser at Church on the Rise in Westlake. O'Neal teamed with Feed the Children and Church on the Rise for the event, where to get in the door you had to bring 10 jars of peanut butter. The Gabel family brought 1,211 jars.
WESTLAKE -- If Sunday's Cavaliers-Lakers game wasn't enough evidence, take Shaquille O'Neal's word for it.

Kobe Bryant is better.



LeBron James? He's pretty good, too. But Kobe is the best the Big Diesel has ever played with.



"Kobe's probably a 10," O'Neal said Tuesday night. "LeBron's a 9.7, 9.8. He's a fabulous player who does it the right way and gets everybody involved. Those guys [Cavaliers] are playing at a very, very high level right now because of him."



O'Neal addressed the Kobe-LeBron debate as the featured guest at the PB and Shaq Challenge at Westlake's Church on the Rise. The fund raiser asked attendees to bring 10 jars of peanut butter for admission, with the food to be donated to Feed the Children.



Feed the Children founder Larry Jones realized the salmonella scare with peanut butter might scare off some donations, but assured that each jar would be double-checked before being included in care packages. Jones said Feed the Children will provide food for needy families in Wilmington next week -- the Ohio town north of Cincinnati devastated by the closing of a DHL hub there.



"We will call and double-check with the Jiffys, the Peter Pans, and make sure the peanut butter is still good," Jones said. "We understand the problem that's out there, but on the other side of the coin, we also understand the nutritional value of peanut butter."



O'Neal good-naturedly offered to help anyone specifically lacking in the lunchtime staple.



"You want some peanut butter?" he said. "I'll get you some."

[turiaf for president]

its just damage control. he wants his jersey retired in LA, and possibly play there after next year so he can ride the coat tails of kobe pau and drew to a ring

[21_Blessings]

Notice how Wade isn't even in the discussion

[Ghazi]

I remember a poll after the rigged 2006 Finals where most of the nation thought D-Whistle the primadonna bitch was the best player in basketball.

It's clear the whistles caused a misconception that D-Whistle the primadonna sex maniac bitch is actually a good basketball player.

What now D-Whistle? No more bullshit whistles and bullshit shots creating the misconception that you're actually a worthy NBA champion.

Kobe>Wade>Lebron

[LakeShow]

Kobe vs. Mike

In the midst of the Lakers' six-game trip, on a cold night in Toronto, Jackson did something that was unexpected.

He compared Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

It was brief by design because he typically bristles when asked to compare two of the best he ever coached, but it was an analysis nonetheless, despite its brevity.

"They're two of a kind competitively," he said. "Kobe's probably a better outside shooter, Michael a better post-up player."

Kobe>Wade>Lebron


King > KoME primadonna drama queen center killah > Dirk > Duncan the 4 time fluke champ > CP3 the flopping whining bitch with inflated assist totlas > Dwight Howard the teenage impregnator > D-Whistle the primadonna bitch who doesn't deserve his ring and is overhyped by virtue of bullshit whistles.

[xtremesteven33]

Kobe is almost on Jordans level but still not there yet.

[sook]

most of us already know that

Wade does get a lot of calls but he is that good.

[TheMACHINE]

i wish i was almost like Jordan too ;)

[hater]

Kobe is almost on Jordans level but still not there yet.

Kobe is a few levels under Jordan. Jordan would have won last year's championship with a broken left hand.

[lefty]

Typical Shaq, seeking attention.......

do we have to go through this shit again?

I thought we agreed Kobe as the better mid-range shooter (and that's arguably)

Jordan was better in every other aspect including post up, 3pt shooting, defense, passing, play making, ballhandling, IQ, leadership and heart.

please stop with this shit

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

My growing hatred towards LeBron and the Cavs is making me like the Lakers (never thought I'd see the day) I'm glad Shaq said this. Kobe >>>>>>>>>>> LeCrabDribble.

King > Adulter drama queen primadonna bitch/center killer.

How the fuck can anyone dislike the Cavs more than the Lakers? They don't win as much, and don't have as big a douchebag fanbase.

All that's bouts to change this year tho blee dat

You're *this* close to being exiled, DOK. Having respect for and liking the Spurs is acceptable, but liking the Lakers is unforgivable.

I'm giving you a chance to take it back. JUST TAKE IT BACK, DOK.

O but they do.

Here's my impression of a Cavs fan:

Wa Wa Wa, I'm a Cavs fan, so I'm gonna bitch and moan about Mo Williams not being an all star.

Wa wa wa, Lebron gets fouled and they never call it, Lebron never misses shots, if he misses a shot it's because the ref didn't call a foul.

I didn't know Cleveland had a basketball team prior to 2003, but now I'm DIE HARD!!!!

I hate the Celtics because they beat LeBitch so I'm gonna hate on Paul Pierce for no legit reason.

[Ghazi]

Spurs = fluke champions

28-22 Knicks? Even this years Suns could beat teh 28-22 Knicks. Big deal, no skill required to do that.

[Xylus]

:lol :flipoff

It's okay, IronMexican. I understand you're a Lakers fan, but no one's perfect.

wa wa wa that was the worst call ever..what kind of refs take a game from us when theres .2 secs left wa wa wa

wa wa wa by the way, we're a No Excuses Team wa wa wa

[nkdlunch]

3pt shooting? I never agreed with that!

when it matters, in the playoffs:

Bryant 32%
Jordan 33%

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Spurs = fluke champions

28-22 Knicks? Even this years Suns could beat teh 28-22 Knicks. Big deal, no skill required to do that.

That post was a special type of retarded, in order to beat the Knicks you have to get to the finals. SA got to the finals, so they got to beat a crap Eastern team.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

wa wa wa that was the worst call ever..what kind of refs take a game from us when theres .2 secs left wa wa wa

wa wa wa IT WAS A CRAB DRIBBLE!!!!

[TheMACHINE]

wa wa wa IT WAS A CRAB DRIBBLE!!!!

wa wa wa they took my rebound away!! wa wa

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

They would have....the Spurs just made some shots and grabbed some rebounds.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

And Xylus, I phrased that first post wrong, I don't LIKE La, I just hate them less than I hate Cleveland.

[Ghazi]

27-23*

Oh, and 4 rings faggot

[sook]

Is it just me or has Ghazi turned into an SD wannabee? Why have you been on Lebron's cock so much as of late anyways?

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

wa wa wa they took my rebound away!! wa wa

wa wa wa it was a crab rebound that's how I get half my rebounds.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Is it just me or has Ghazi turned into an SD wannabee? Why have you been on Lebron's cock so much as of late anyways?

Because it's flat out embarrassing to be on Dirk's cock these days.

[LakeShow]

when it matters, in the playoffs:

Bryant 32%
Jordan 33%

.5 advantage for MJ, I call that a draw. For their careers, KB - 340, Jordan - .327

[Ghazi]

Because it's flat out embarrassing to be on Dirk's cock these days.


CHAMPIONSHIP

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

CHAMPIONSHIP

[Allanon]

I'd welcome ShaqFu back to the Lakers....next year for the MLE.

Get a Buyout Shaq!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Get a Buyout Shaq!

You wouldn't trade Odom for him?

[hhml]

And Xylus, I phrased that first post wrong, I don't LIKE La, I just hate them less than I hate Cleveland.

Emphasis should be on "don't", not "like". It's a shame cause I thought you were on your way to being converted to a Laker fan :lol

+1

[Allanon]

Almost would but hell No. Shaq's making $20 million next year. That's Lamar+Ariza+Machine money right there.

Odom's cool people just like Shaq, but Shaq's got maybe 2 more seasons left in the tank, odom's got 5.

The Mavs deserve some respect; they are the 2007 regular season champs :D

Never, Suns fan for life regardless of how bad things are about to get. One day they'll win a title.....I hope.

[LakeShow]

Shaq and Kobe playing together again in the All Star game will be emotional. :cry
