Shaq slapping Timmy's hand when walking towards the dressing room.

[007nites]

Respect

[TrueSpursFan]

More like chest bump!!

[mikec]

Was that when Tim was in the tunnel headed towards the locker room? That was Shaq?

Yup he's always been a spurs fan!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Was this after the game?

[Chris]

I thought that was Shaq! :lol
Couldn't tell if it was him or a really large security guard tbh

[mikec]

Yup he's always been a spurs fan!

GiF!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Respect for The Big Fundamental. Doing what he does consistently and quietly at 37.. Fucking father time.

[mikec]

Couldn't tell if it was him or a really large security guard tbh

haha, that's what i thought too, biggest security guard ever!

[4lifecowboy]

I knew Shaq was the only person that could make Timmy look that small

[703 Spurz]

I thought it was a sec guard at first too but I rewound the clip and sure enough it was O'Neal.

He was back there to get Tim to give an interview since he's not been talking to the press postgame. Shaq sees him and Tim as the old guards, and these new guys as not worthy. You can read a couple puns into that of course.

[playblair]

:toast

[Beaverfuzz]

That was really more Duncan taking the hand slap and going in for the bump. Still, Shaq respects Duncan's work.

[TheGoldStandard]

Have to admire the quiet assassin, 20 and 11.. just like clockwork

[aal04]

You should rename this topic to "Shaq manages to garner some respect from top dog Tim"

[hater]

yup that was Shaq

pretty cool of him to wait for them at spurs lockeroom

and Duncan was pleased

[hater]

plus they both been cucked the same way :lol

[lefty]

Spur fan before game 1: " fuck Shaq; I cant stand him "
SPur fan after game 1: " OMG SHaq is so cool ! I love him "

[DMX7]

lol and he used to be D. Wade's teammate.

I've always liked Shaq. He was dominating, fun, and played the game the right way for his position. My only real problem with him was his being out of shape in LA, but it honestly didn't hurt his game much so I guess wgaf...

[TDfan2007]

Timmy is the last of the dominant big men. We don't have another in the league right now and probably won't for a while. Shaq understands this, and he also has a ton of respect for Timmy as a player and a person.

[HarlemHeat37]

Shaq's feelings for Duncan aren't the same as they are for Robinson's, tbh:lol..

Shaq has always respected Duncan, and even if he didn't, he would still elevate Duncan's hype to inflate his own legacy:lol..

You're a fool. Any Spur Fan worth his salt has never hated Shaq as a person.

Fundamentally true, but I don't think Shaq is that smart (at least consciously). Very easy to say someone is good when they've actually beaten you.

Naah. It was 20 and 14 with 3 blocks.

[spurspokesman]

Shaq was one of the guys who picked spurs to win the series

Shaq feels duncans pain. His bitch cheated on him too with his personal trainer

[TJastal]

20 and 11?

Try 20 and 14, with 4 assists and 3 blocks. At 37 years old. And this was basically a warm up game for him, testing the waters to see how far he could go. The heat have very little in the way of defense for him. I think Splitter is going to heat up as the series goes along as well.

Shaq has grown on me over the years. His retirement speech was funny as hell, and who can forget Bearded Pop rolling out the Hack-a-Shaq five seconds into the first game of the season a few years back? Even Shaq couldn't help busting out laughing.

[tmtcsc]

Shaq - the opponent - was fun to hate. He was the ultimate villain and played the part perfectly. A friend of a friend who played with Shaq at Cole introduced me to him and he was very cool. He wasn't in the NBA yet and was starring at LSU but he was genuinely nice. He has a great sense of humor and handled fame the best way he knew how. His comments about DRob were ugly but he may have been really hurt by what he perceived was a "slight".

The way I heard it, Shaq and some friends were hanging in the parking lot of a night club (they weren't old enough to go in) and saw DRob coming out. They started toward him and wanted to talk to David but David wanted to go home as soon as he could and not hang around in a parking lot. So he kind of waved "hi" and took off without having a prolonged conversation. Shaq took that as an insult - as a high schooler!!.

Shaq knows this is a lie...

I think he means Duncan consistently hitting his career average night in and night out.

[Mark in Austin]

Shaq was just looking for a cheeseburger and got lost.

Roy Hibbert, Marc Gasol


Uh...what? I said dominant big man, not very good big man. Huge difference.

[urunobili]

Shaq is trying to jinx the Spurs tbh

[Budkin]

I grew up in Orlando right around the time the Magic got Shaq. I loved the guy, used to go to games, etc. I still have a ball he signed. I didn't hate him until he left for LA. Because I was a Spurs fan too I continued to hate him because I hated the Lakers. Once he went to the Heat though I didn't care anymore. Now I just think he's funny.

[mowgli]

They're plenty dominant. And Hibbert can still get appreciably better. These two are thriving in an NBA that clearly has traditional back-to-the-basket big guys trending down.

See the very fact that you're trying to convince me that Hibbert and Marc Gasol are dominant proves my point, but you don't seem to be getting it, so I'm going to throw numbers at you.

Hibbert: 11.9 pts 8.3 rbs 2.6 blk on 45% shooting (45% for a big man of his size is pathetic)

Gasol: 14.5 pts 8 rbs 1.8 blk on 49% shooting

And these guys put up those paltry numbers against the inferior competition that we've been talking about. Dominant players would crush the shit big men that exist in the league today.

You're right. Those guys suck balls. I have have to accept the fact that those days are gone, now they're memories on the wall
