I have huge respect for Shaq!!!

[Skull-1]

I hated him. For his animosity toward Dave... For always finding a way to fuq us in the playoffs... For being a big fat clown who seemed to use physiology to beat people with more skill than he had... For being a cross-eyed mush mouth jerk.


But....


He gives major props to Duncan. He compliments the Spurs at every turn... Doesn't take himself too seriously... And his retirement speech was absolutely hilarious. Oh, the commercial with his dad and the pay phone was epic, too.


Thanks, Diesel, for showing me adversaries aren't always enemies....opponents can be respected......and long-time foes can become friends.....

Shaq is pulling for the Spurs this year, just like last. I respect that tremendously.

[Richie]

I like what he says when he talks about basketball, but half of the time on TNT he's making dumb jokes and yelling over people. Irritating.

[jkid12456]

I hate Charles Barkley.

Barkley?

He's also apologized to Da Admiral for how he acted towards him in their playing years.

[Richie]

Barkley?

No Shaq. I like Barkley too, but he doesn't irritate me as much as Shaq does with the jokes

[exstatic]

I'll never respect Shaq after the lies he told about David Robinson dissing him in HS.

[Killakobe81]

He sucks on TNT to be honest has been a bit better this year but he is supposed to be funny but rarely is.
And as much as he respects Tim he disses Dwight in a petty way.

Hey I hate Dwight too but I am a fan. Shaq should check his bias better because he could be a great expert on big men. He actually makes sense sometimes when he talks hoops but the monotone voice and bufoonery is annoying.

i do like Diesels' dunk and Shaqtin a fool

[sexinthatsx]

The only reason Shaq gives so much credit to Duncan is because Shaq has beef with Barkley lol.

[capek]

fuck shaq

[Kidd K]

Shaq's actually always given Duncan props, and unlike when Barkley does it, it actually comes off as genuine and not like "Oh I'm just saying this to make my incoming insults seem even-handed when really I never do anything but insult them".

I still find Shaq annoying, but I believe his remarks about Duncan. His props are legit opinion. Barkley's aren't

[SpurSpurSpurs]

No Shaq. I like Barkley too, but he doesn't irritate me as much as Shaq does with the jokes

You like Barkley? :lol

[spurraider21]

EJ and Chuck are usually funny, Kenny is hit or miss. This B-Team is pretty awful though

[Richie]

Webber is great IMO.

[Budkin]

Birdman? Birdman?

[therealtruth]

Hopefully Shaq gets sued of TNT.

well robinson treated him like shit as a teenager. what goes around comes around

[SpurPadre]

No that was a bullshit story made up by Shaq. He's admitted as much.

[SpurPadre]

Shaq's made up a lot of stories, tbh.

[james evans]

he did? u dont think he ever met robinson in high school. it's possible. i never heard him say he made it up. i know you're a spurs fan, but some nba players are diks. some of them treat their own teammates like shit haha

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, Shaq's said he made up the story for ratings and to sell the rivalry. He met him as a teenager and said Da Admiral was classy as advertised. That dude couldn't be a jerk if his life depended on it.

[KaiRMD1]

Most of the time, the ol' sport is a jackass but the best jokehe ever made was when he revealed the meaning of his "WCW" acronym. (White Chris Webber)

[TampaDude]

Of course it's bullshit. DRob started with the Spurs in 1989. By that time, Shaq was already at LSU, so it was not possible that DRob ever met Shaq when he was in high school.

[cd021]

I remember after a Finals win Duncan sat in with Shaq and the crew for an interview. Shaq seemed genuine with his respect and even joked around with Tim. At the end of the interview he shook Duncans hands and wished him luck.

[SpurPadre]

Shaq just chalked up tonight's loss as OKC wanting it more and playing like it was the playoffs while we didn't. Grant Hill and Webber then scoffed at Shaq and simultaneously said, "Nah, OKC's athleticism is just too much for them. They got no shot." We'll see motherfuckers.

Hill and Webber are Spurs haters, non issue. I'll take the word of a 4 time champ over 2 ring-less bums.

[baseline bum]

I like Shaq, but he's horrible on that show. And it was so good when it was Ernie, Kenny, and Charles.

[Skull-1]

He's also apologized to Da Admiral for how he acted towards him in their playing years.


Missed that. Good on him. Thanks for sharing.

[dallasmaverickslose]

:smchode:

[Boomersgold]

Barkley?

Barkley actually makes attempts at analyzing the game. His takes are horrible, but he at least tries. Shaq, on the other, yells random words, which only the ghetto would find funny.

[SnakeBoy]

Shaq was just talking shit to pump himself up for playing against Robinson. Listen to him here...

I told him this already but good on you for finding the video.

[Sean Cagney]

Spurs fans so sensitive at times but honestly Shaq is good in my book, he is a cool dude. I am glad someone posted that video of him saying he pumped himself up against D Rob.

[Blake]

Shaq blows. He's unfunny and his takes are bland.

[spurspokesman]

Shaq is cool

[bob bass sucks]

Fuck that clown (shaq). How many times does he say "You know" doctorate from university of Phoenix.

[TampaDude]

Shaq is cool

:toast

[Johnny RIngo]

Shaq's a great player but he sucks on TNT. Still better than Reggie Miller though - Fucker should be banned from tv.

[james evans]

ok thanks for the info

[dunkman]

It's undestandable, Shaq was destined for true greatness until Duncan came in to the league.

[exstatic]

Nope. The timeline doesn't even work. When David started his rookie season, Shaq was already in Baton Rouge as an LSU freshman. There was never even a time when David was a Spur and Shaq was in HS.

[CitizenDwayne]

I don't. Guy's an asshole and a total clown. Not to mention a complete waste of a TV presence.
