Shaqdeezy, Shaq-Fu-Snickens, the Diesel, the Big Aristotle, Superman. All the Same guy. Shaquille O’Neal. He’s had sooome summer hasn’t he? Let’s see. Where shall we begin!
First he all but guaranteed a championship to the Phoenix Suns only to be almost swept by the San Antonio Spurs. That really wasn’t going to happen, PERIOD. While Shaq may deliver a championship to the Suns in his second season there, he did with the Miami Heat; the Suns gave up the one guy who gave Tony Parker fits, Shawn Marion. Marion is long enough and quick enough to stay in front of Parker and if beaten, can recover quick enough to bother Parker’s shot. Or Shawn could stay in front of Ginobili and get a hand up on the jumper. So the idea of them winning this season was a joke at worse and a fallacy at best.
Second, he does the worse free style “rap” EVER. That was straight wack!! It was so bad that I could only watch half of the online video before stopping it. The rap mentioned former teammate Kobe Bryant; essentially saying that he was the reason for Shaq’s pending divorce. Because there was some offensive language in the “rap”, honorary badges given to him from cities in Arizona and Virginia were rescinded. Some of his early rap, “Biological Didn’t Bother” was right on time, but this “live performance” was awful. It was so bad that the next time I saw Shaq on the screen, I started laughing just thinking about it!
THEN, a rapper that is more famous after meeting Shaq than before, accuses him of “stalking and harassing” her. Because of the “alleged stalking”, she has been granted a Restraining Order against him. I can understand that it might not be easy for him to meet women because of who he is, but to have to stalk someone? WTF??

The mailman is at it again? First off, let me give you the background.
I was a Laker fan going back to the late 70’s. Pre-Magic. So when Magic brought Showtime to the Forum, it was on and poppin. And even through the early Vlade years when you could get Laker tickets when you bought a gallon of gas, I was still there. Me and Jack. Rollin’ with the Lakers. Up through the 3-peat mini dynasty of the early 2000’s. And because I was a Laker fan, I hated everyone else in the Western Conference. That included the Jazz. And at the top of that list were Karl Malone and John Stockton. Might as well add Jerry Sloan to that list for that matter. The reason I hated them? Well why the hell else. They always gave the Lakers’ fits!
Magic couldn’t stay in front of Stockton so the Lakers put Scott on him. But because Byron didn’t have Magic’s height or length, John was able to make any and every pass that he wanted. And with Karl, the Lakers had absolutely NO ONE who could even make it look good at trying to defend him. He made mince meat of BOTH A.C. Green and Kurt Rambus on a regular basis. While both Malone and Stockton “brought it” every night, they seemed to give a little something extra to the Lakers. And they were cocky about it too. That is why I hated them!
I also hated the “aw shucks” persona of Malone that was presented by both him and the media. I consider myself to be a pretty good judge of character and always felt something was “up” with him. So when I heard that he had teenage children that hadn’t been publicly acknowledged, I had my proof. What kind of shit is that? For someone who didn’t have a father around, to be doing the same thing, with millions in his pocket no less, let me know what kind of character he really had. Not much!!!!!
