Most Dominant Ever
After winning his fourth title, you know that SHAQ is refraining from openly bragging what he accomplished. Without
But I think the reason why Shaq is holding back with usual quick quotables is that, he knows he did not power the Heat to championships. He was like the 2003 David Robinson to Tim Duncan all-over again.
Shaq spent huge minutes in the sidelines during crucial moments of the series. And look at this number, on offense, averaging 14 points in the series. On defense, he grabbed rebounds here and there. He was even out-played by an older teammate, a guy with a borrowed kidney named Alonzo Mourning. Zo swatted game altering shots. (By the way, Aren’t you tired of Zo’s antics, shakin and shiverin everytime he does something positive?)
O’Neal knows that this trophy has few Shaq fingerprints on it. He knows, it’s Wade frenetic scoring and drives that took home the trophy. (Along with some help from the 3 zebras.) He knows he is the 2nd banana in this one.
Just wondering, if he can step back and defer to a young gun like Wade, just why the hell he did not do it at L.A. Kobe approaching his peak and him still good for 15 and 10, why he didn't do it? Two deadly words: EGO and MONEY. After years of being focal point of what's going on in L.A., he just can't think of himself playing the role of Robin to Kobe. Second, at an advanced age, he was forcing Buss to pay him tons of money.
So L.A. was forced to send him elsewhere. Good thing, he landed on a team with a guy named Wade and coach named Riley. By trading to Miami, L.A.under estimated Wade and Riley but not O'Neal. They were right about Shaq, he is a 14-point scorer in an NBA finals.
So as for now, no bragging for the Most Dominat (n)Ever.
