Hornets: Shaq Again: "I'm Sorry I Tried Not To But I'm Upset and Jealous Of The Kobe Tour"

[Koolaid_Man]

Just goes to show he's a sensitive mental midget and was always truly Beta while Kobe was Alpha tbh...

“I’m super jealous. I wanted a Shaq tour, man. I did. Like, I never said this but this is killing me. It did. So, you know, I had two years in Boston. I got hurt my first year, but the second year, we were going to plan a whole Shaq tour. I’m super jealous. I wanted a Shaq tour.”

He went on:

“But still, I wanted to just go to the city, and people see me play my last game. I did. I’m like – at first I tried to suck it up, but I can’t. It’s killing me.”

Kinda how you're only purpose for living is to be jealous of the Spurs' relevancy while the Lakers withered away into the laughing stock of the L. What's the point of this? Of course he'd be jealous, he piggy backed that no-good snitch to 3 les. Plus he is ranked higher on every All-Time lists.

Wouldn't you be pissed if your mama threw you out so she could give your mattress in her basement to someone just because they paid her a little rent with welfare money? I dunno with you. You have no sense of shame or self-awareness, you miserable, worthless prick.

[TDMVPDPOY]

why should he be sour when his on tnt always giving his takes?

since the cripple is out of the playoffs...his going to do what his been doing all his career when his team is out of the race, continue to open his mouth or doing some to get media attention away from the playoffs...

Kirby is a knockoff version of Jorn on the court & a novice version off Shaq off the court.

The only folks who have "retirement tours" are cats DESPERATE for attention (aka cats affiliated w/ the Lakers), Jorn didn't have a retirement tour.....he just had a championship parade & retired.

Kareem had a retirement tour. I don't think he was DESPERATE for attention.

LoL, we are talking about the same Kareem WHINING about not having a status outside of STAPLES. Kareem didn't like media attention (Kobe is also not a media like Bron) but he liked having his ego stroked & hearing about how good he was.....he's a very arrogant person who doesn't acknowledge his peers.

It could be but remember Kareem won without Magic, Magic won zero without Kareem, I think he deserved the statue longtime before 2012.

[Kawhitstorm]

Dr. J?

Philly HAD to do it b/c of they ALREADY honored Kareem. Dr. J is one of the classiest dudes to ever play in the league.

After he got traded to LA, Kareem was KG status (missed the playoff in his PRIME) BEFORE Magic got drafted. If anything, the Lakers closed-out the 82 Finals in Philly w/ Magic winning FMVP while an injured Kareem was in LA watching it on TV.

Magic also went to the Finals AFTER Kareem retired meanwhile Kareem NEVER went to the Finals w/o Magic/Big O.

Playoffs or not Magic and Big O won zero without Jabby, Jabby won without Magic, Magic went to the Finals but nothing happened so to resume Jabby wasnt a crybaby because he demanded a statue to the stinky Lakers.

Farewell tours are only given to players that stick with one team for the rest of his career. Shaq had too many chances at revival by bouncing around left and right. By the time he retired, most people probably didn't even know he was retiring, just thought he was going to another team tbh.

Farewell tours are only given

wut? Farewell tours are for narcissists and sociopaths. They are not given, they are taken.

Also, in September

He still had plenty of time to consider his future, and Bryant said he got insight into retirement and farewells from Jeter, who is also a business partner.

"He and I couldn't be any more opposite personalities, you know what I mean?" Bryant said of the Yankees captain, who walked away from baseball last year. "It's fun just hearing his perspective and what he went through, what triggered the decision for him to step away from the game. I don't know what that's going to be for me, but we'll see."

No matter his decision, there's no reason to make it now: Kobe already knows he has zero interest in a Jeter-esque farewell tour.

"We're completely different people," Bryant said with a grin. "I couldn't do that."

the term farewell tour was given to Kobe by fans right?

Also, didn't know about that Jeter quote. Regardless if comparisons are made between Kobe and Shaq, Kobe deserves a farewell tour more than Shaq. Although both are just POS players really.

No, it's the commonly used term for washed up band or athlete who announces their retirement and then visits all the arenas they've played in and the home team does bull videos, tributes or gives them gifts.

[Kawhitstorm]

Playoffs or not Magic and Big O won zero without Jabby, Jabby won without Magic, Magic went to the Finals but nothing happened so to resume Jabby wasnt a crybaby because he demanded a statue to the stinky Lakers.

Kareem only missed the playoffs during the PEAK of him prime & cried about not having a status.

Magic only lost to PEAK Jordan in the 91 Finals & closed out a Finals game as a rookie WITHOUT Kareem.

Again like I said, as much as I hate Kobe, only a player of his caliber and popularity can cajole home teams to do these "bull videos, tributes or gives them gifts"

Shaq was the most dominant on the team during that three peat and unstoppable Kool, you and I know it. Check his finals stats and its a wrap....
