Not that we didn't know this fact before but here's some more stuff to back it up. Craig Sager is interviewing Shaq... Craig: What doctor are you going to to treat your foot injury? Shaq: A foot doctor. Craig: You mean a podiatrist? Shaq: I don't know is that what a foot doctor is? Craig: Yes it is. Shaq, after feeling a little embarassed after not knowing what a podiatrist is, asks Shaq: Ok, tough guy, spell it. Craig: P-O-D-I Shaq: No. Wrong tough guy. It's P-E-D. Look it up tough guy. Look it up. Check it. 5 seconds later on TNT, they show the correct spelling: P-O-D-I-A-T-R-I-S-T. Absolutely hilarious... they were all laughint at him. ------------------ PrEsident of The Danforth Langhford FAN CLUB... He IS our future All-Star Small Forward
The TNT guy had it wrong too, but it was hilarious. Charles is a riot on that show. BTW, I thought it was p-e-d too. ------------------ The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.
Well it is spelled P-O-D, but I wouldn't call Shaq and idiot because I'm pretty sure 90% of people would have 1.) Not known what a foot doctor was called, or knew one existed, or 2.)spelled it p-e-d ------------------ Dream a deadly Dream. . .
I am not a Shaq fan, and have stated on this BBS before that I thought he was stupid, and came into this thread expecting to state exactly that. But I must admit, while I was reading alaskansnowman's post, I thought that he spelled it wrong as well. A little humbling never hurt anyone... I guess. ------------------ "Of course, everything looks bad if you remember it!" Homer Simpson [This message has been edited by RunninRaven (edited February 01, 2001).]
Man, this guy is gonna have a book of all the idiotic things he's said during his career one day... ------------------ Who's ya daddy?
He could drink LHutz's Moron Potion for months and still never top the Parthenon quote. ------------------ The Badministrator
Oh man, I must have missed that one. Could anyone repost it here, so that I might revel in Shaq's ineptitude? ------------------ "Of course, everything looks bad if you remember it!" Homer Simpson
"I can't really remember the names of all the clubs that we went to." --Shaquille O'Neal on whether he had visited the Parthenon during his visit to Greece ------------------ The Badministrator
I think some of you guys take what he says out of context...a lot of times he says these things just to be silly. I'm not saying he's a brain surgeon, but that's Shaq's charm--you just never know what is really going on in his mind. That one about the Parthenon I'm almost sure was a joke on his part. ------------------
