Well IMHO Shaq is entitled to "clown" DH the way he does. While I like DH more than Shaq, DH basically ripped off everything from him: from the larger than life center image to the gentle giant persona to the Superman reference. Now there's even rumors he'll even follow Shaq's career path, going to the Lakers in free agency after he brought Magic to the Finals. When somebody copies you to that extent you can either take it graciously or be freaked out, which what Shaq did the last couple of years. Now that he's retired he should be giving DH more props though, as his legacy is now officially secured.
sure shaq has 4 rings... lets not forget he won them with arguably two top five shooting guards of all time... If Dwight had that they would've won already. Dwight had the pleasure to play with a old, out of shape inconsistent Vince Carter. If it had been the vince of 98-06 they would've had a much better chance.
