This is why Baron Davis's computer was stolen - it had the original "Steve Vs." recordings. Shaq used his police connections in LA to ensure that they will never be found.
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/sports/articles/2009/08/19/20090819spt-boivinshaq.htmlThe most entertaining part of the new reality show, "Shaq Vs."? The credits.
Tuesday's debut, which featured Shaquille O'Neal taking on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in football, was a tad long and a bit contrived. It became decidedly more interesting, though, when the credits rolled and this name popped up as one of the executive producers:
Steve Nash.
There's an interesting back story here, one that explains in part some of the fractured relationships that defined the Suns' struggles last season.
O'Neal stole Nash's idea.
Shortly after O'Neal was traded to the Suns in February 2008, Nash mentioned to his new teammate a reality show he was pursuing. It would feature the Suns point guard taking on professional athletes in their own sport.
The topic didn't come up again until early in the 2008-09 season, when O'Neal boarded the Suns bus and told the team he would be starring in a new reality show in which he would be taking on, you got it, professional athletes in their own sport.
"You mean the idea you stole from me?" one Suns representative said he heard Nash say.
Nash eventually sought out an entertainment lawyer, according to sources, which is why he now has an executive-producer credit and the compensation that comes with it.
When reached Wednesday, Nash would not confirm the story.
"We collaborated on parts of the show," he said. "I support him 100 percent. I thought the first episode was a fantastic episode, and I can't wait for the next one."
That's something you would expect Nash to say. He often has played the role of locker-room peacemaker. He is known as a teammate who diffuses tough situations before they escalate.
In reality, a source close to Nash said, "Steve was pissed. He couldn't believe Shaq's lack of integrity."
The experience set the tone for some shaky chemistry on the court. Off it, Nash found himself in a difficult situation, trying to co-exist with a teammate who had blindsided him.
"He's moved on," the source said. "He really does want the show to succeed."
Calls made to O'Neal's representatives were not returned.
I can see it. Steve sure wasted no time removing Shaq from his Twitter friends the second he was traded.

the Suns... they are an entertaining bunch
no wonder they get pimpslapped in the playoffs. their 2 main leaders are thinking about reality shows.
Every problem in Nash's life is because of Shaq the anti-Christ. No surprises here.

tee, hee.
Now I understand why Nash is an executive producer on the show. He thought of the idea. Knowing Nash's skill in sports like soccer and rugby, I am sure he could have starred in the show as well.
When Nash was a Maverick, FC Dallas let him know he could join the roster anytime he wanted. The show would've been better with Nash.
They should make a Nash vs. Jonas Brothers special where America gets to vote on who has the gayest hair.
Shaq vs Penny
Shaq vs His orlando coach
Shaq vs Kobe
Shaq vs Buss
Shaq vs SVG

I'm starting to see a pattern, Shaq is a whiney child, and people dont like him
You forgot Shaq vs. Kurt Rambis when he coached in the 90's
And Shaq VS Dell Harris too
It's absolution for Bryant. And about time. But, lets face it: the vast lion's share of people knew that Daddy was the poison the entire time, these people just used the situation in an attempt to bulldoze Kobe.
And Shaq VS David Robinson too. Didn't Daddy intimate that Robinson was a pantywaist & kinda girlish?
Tacker = shaq?
You forgot Shaq vs. Kurt Rambis when he coached in the 90's
Shaq vs Harris
Shaq vs Nick Van Exel
Shaq vs Rambis
Shaq slams Michael Thompson
Shaq vs Bill Walton

Those last two are losing battles he's fighting
Said it already.
Shaq vs Basic 5th Grade Level Intelligence
Shaq's losing that one too
shaq already had a show with fat kids
Youre such a broken-record. I want you to take the day off from posting and come back tomorrow with something original.
Who would want to watch Steve Nash do anything if they don't have to?
If you knew what a great athlete he is, you would reconsider that statement. Many people in professional soccer have said that he could play in MLS.
Sorry, I don't watch diveball.
Nash did play rugby in highschool. That's about as tough a sport as there is physically.
Don't forget Shaq vs Wade, and in a years time (or less) Shaq vs LeBron and Shaq vs Mike Brown.
Shaq vs. Mourning (before he went to Miami)
Shaq vs. Ostertag (the slap) LOL
