Shaq is Back

Couple of weeks ago, with the way Miami Heat was struggling with the young Chicago Bulls, I said Shaq is done. But here he comes rumbling back to the Finals. Who would have thought they'll get by the dreaded Pistons so easily.

So in a race for his first championship without each other, Shaq now has the upperhand over the love-me-hate-me Guy. Only Dallas or Suns in his way. Both of which is very much beatable. Dallas Mavs is looking to close out the Western series about a couple of hours from now. If they get by the Suns, they'll be having Shaq and Wade as a reward.

Shaq, with his Most Dominant Days clearly over has his best chance for a fourth title. With Shaq being more like a S.D.S. (Sometimes Dominant Still), he gets no better chance than this. No San Antonio Spurs, no Duncan out west. Its legacy padding time for O'Neal.

When people says that Shaq really doesn't need to secure his legacy in history of basketball, I say, hell yeah, I do not need to eat. There is no doubt, winning another one (or two) would definitely help. If he gets another one, this will prove that he owns the 3 rings at L.A. and Kobe can not claim a chunk of the pie.

(Shaq could have been a four-time champ by now had Anderson sealed the game 1 against the Rockets back in 95.)
