Shaq is not the player he once was that is for sure, but why do you think Pat Riley had his eyes on shaq I'll tell you Shaq is here to put his 25 points 10 boards in a night not to be scoring champion but to get double teamed so much that it free's up shots on the outside!! The Heats season will go as far as Mr.Wade and Jones can carry them Wade will either go into superstardom or fade hard. Just remember the lakers in the 80's could have traded kareem instead they keep him around for the same reason the Heat got shaq. Like I said he is no longer the player he once was but if you don't double team him he will burn you hard on points and rebounds. The fact is 7'1 340 pounds is one big mother fuc*** and that is hard to deal with!!!!!

He's still the best 'big man' in the game. Regardless. AND a huge marquee player.
It ain't no bad thing. If he had gone to the Celts, it would have been wicked good, and I would have been psyched.

Probably the same time Orange County gets a team!!

In regards to all the banter about Kobe inocent or guilty....I can assure you of one thing, he still cheated on his wife (only caught once) and he's still an arrogant assh*le!
