    I know we shouldn't take anything he says too seriously, but come on man.

    Well because if he was too mean, Hakeem would have ended his career early.

    Dream was too nice his whole career.

    And what Shaq really means is he was in awe.

    Shaq should be thankful that the dream found faith.
    also, Shaq could have been an angry hulk, that was not going to stop nick anderson's choke job. And nobody put a gun to his head to play a goofball over sized genie with some whack rhymes.

    Shaq on TNT has been so insecure every time they mention anything about Shaq that wasn't him being victorious .

    Kenny drops the Phoenix series every time on Charles and he NEVER makes excuses.

    Shaq should be happy that he doesn't have to put ice on his ankles for the rest of his life like Robinson after a Playoff series against Hakeem. Shaq just be honest you looked like a dumb school boy against Hakeem. But don't worry it wasn't your fault.

    Rockets sweeping Magic 4-0. Rockets were just too good. Hakeem was too nice too so it doesn't matter.

    Shaq should use all his intellectual power to write a doctoral dissertation titled "Nice Guys Don't Win Championships" and use himself as the first case study.

    who in the hell stays nice for a four game series especially when you're getting your butt handed to you each night?

    He's right.

    All he said is that he respected the man too much. If anything it was a compliment.

    Aside from Game 1, that series was never really close.

    The banner hangs in Houston. The end.

    he also said Hakeem dropped 25 points while he dropped 24 points.
    I don't like how Shaq is throwing stats without verifying them.

    game 1

    Dream 31
    Shaq 26

    game 2

    Dream 34
    Shaq 33

    game 3
    Dream 31
    Shaq 28

    game 4
    Dream 35
    Shaq 25

    He obviously was joking. He holds the utmost respect for Hakeem and Yao.
