Van Gundy shrugs off barbs, calls Shaq ‘sensitive’

Stan Van Gundy walked into the Orlando Magic locker room Thursday morning, and before he could even prepare for practice, his players had a message.

“You better leave Shaq alone,” forward Rashard Lewis told him.

And with that, the Flop-Flap continued.

No way he gets that fat ass off the ground that high.

What? He was very similar to Howard when he was about the same age. He was probably just as athletic as one point until we turned into a blob.

it's sad that shaq is choosing to end his career on this note.

He used to be funny but now he's just bitter and angry. It makes him look pathetic.

+1

[lefty]

Shaq and SVG are alone on an island........

I wish someone would sew his fat lips shut. Both pairs.

[The Franchise]

Bull . Once howard dominates the league like Shaq dominated the league then we could have this conversation. When Howard cows opposing big man the way the diesel cowed Robinson, Ewing, Olajuwon etc... Then there will be a new Superman.

Get that right fool!!

He was never as athletic as Dwight.

Shaq to Van Gundy: ‘Don’t play with me’

Shaquille O’Neal is still seething about Stan Van Gundy criticizing him for allegedly flopping, even after the Orlando coach apologized.

Van Gundy said he was sorry Thursday and jokingly called Shaq “a very sensitive guy.” But O’Neal wasn’t laughing about it in Houston on Friday morning, where the Suns were preparing to play Yao Ming and the Rockets in the evening.

“Don’t play with me,” O’Neal said. “Seriously, don’t play with me. Like I said earlier, I don’t like frontrunners. I think he used the wrong choice of words. Flopping means that, hey, Shaq does that all the time. The rules say, you take it in the middle, you’ve got to fall back. And that’s what I did.”

“It was a cheap shot,” O’Neal said of Van Gundy’s original barb. “They won the game, move on. My thing is, I don’t ask for a lot, but I demand my respect, especially from a guy like that.

“It’s over now. He said what he had to say, I said what I had to say. Don’t play with me.”

[BUMP]

If some dude basically called you a woman, you wouldn't get offended? Add to it that he called him a woman in a press conference. I could see why shaq would get pissed.

I know Shaq called Bosh a transves e but that was after bosh was a pussy and complained about being eaten alive by the diesel.
