from nanfang sports: Racist?No.The trues is Shark appreciate yao ver much. Did u remember that meeting in LA?Oneal told yao:"Eventuall you will be the man in the league,you just need working hard. You must face upto sorts of suspiction and reprouch now, same as me(when i joined the NBA), JUST BELIEVE YOURSELF." Is it a secret?
Shaq is actually a very nice person. He does alot of good things and doesn't complain too much. He just likes to be a jokester, and some times his jokes are rather tasteless. He just acts the same way with the media as he would with his friends which is not good since the media will make a big deal about everything he says. When I'm with my buds, we make tasteless racial jokes towards each other and it is real funny amongst friends. However I would never repeat those jokes infront of a reporter. Shaq does and he screws himself by doing so. I trully believe he respects Yao. If not, Yao will make Shaq respect him sooner or later. On the other hand, Yao has no respect for Robinsion. I think it make go back to when Shaq lived in San Antonio and played highschool ball.
You mean Shaq has no respect for Robinson? Shaq denies it now, but back then when the Admiral was in his prime, Shaq would claim that he waited for hours after a basketball game only to have David snub him for an autograph. David said he doesn't remember that, and Shaq never put up hard evidence of when and where. At that time Shaq had beef with all the other centers except Dream.
