Shaq to "never again" talk to reporters

[Jeremy]

Apparently, he's upset about the trade talks.

Sounds like the reporter was too dumb to understand sarcasm to me.

I would support Shaq no longer giving interviews- especially if Kobe followed suit.

"When I came in today, people asked me, 'Did you hear the news?' I thought they were talking about Rihanna," Suns forward Jared Dudley said.

You have to know it was a joke, the only thing Shaq gravitates to faster than Krispy Kremes is cameras.

Have you guys ever read Shaq's Twitter? He can't spell for Still, Shaq is the man.

I love Shaq's Twitter. Especially when he makes up his own inspirational quotes. Nash has one now, but you can tell he's not really into it like Shaq.

I've read that it's not really Shaq on twitter - it's Amir Blumenfeld. The same guy who ran tony .com, and does Jake and Amir videos for College Humor. No idea as to the validity of that, but that's what I've read.

Someone in Phoenix has to confirm this. If you run into Shaq, ask him if it's his twitter. Get on it, Suns fans.

It's already been confirmed many times that it's Shaq. He joined because there was someone impersonating him on there (which was hilariously pretty spot on.)

We're not worried about the Sacramento Queens.

Here is some more on Shaq:

* There is another wound. Shaquille O'Neal's wounded pride. So he's unhappy that the Suns talked about him in prospective trades, particularly when things heated up near the deadline with Cleveland after talks with Portland. O'Neal talks infrequently with the media anyway, picking his spots. After shootaround Friday, he told me, "Never again," when asked if he was talking. He told another reporter that he wasn't part of this team. And after the game, he told KTAR-AM's Craig Grialou, "I'm not supposed to be here," when he saw him in a hallway. O'Neal does not change in the locker room after games but occasionally comes back to talk to the media. But on Friday, his locker was cleared out. But say this for Shaq. The strike didn't carry over to his play. He played hard and well, particularly down the stretch with the three alleyoops on the 30-15 closing run. And he offered his fun, doing the stare into the left hand all the way downcourt (even avoiding Steve Nash's extended hand) to accentuate how he had flushed one home with his weak hand.

Good, because no one wants to listen to him anyway

Will do, I'll try asking him at the Celtic's game.
