And Shaq wasnt fat & lazy. I'm sure you think Robert Horry was the real closer on that team too Kobe haterz have selective memories
I remember Steve differently. I used to beg and plead at the TV for Steve to shoot more. He would often spend the first 3 quarters trying to get any and everyone going and then he would go get his 20 in the 4th. Dude could have been scoring like Iverson If he wasn't constantly trying to feed Cato and Mo Taylor. Always respected him for that though.
Thats why I said Francis was selfish without meaning to. He wants to make plays for others but in doing so dribbled the air out of the ball every possession which actually skyrocketed his usage and made him a ballhog, 24 clock was only only 5 because Francis would wait until then to do something
I don't get to watch him a lot. He just doesn't strike me as someone who keeps the ball for a long time.
BTW, Harden and Westbrook are leading everyone else by a mile in the number of touches. Not surprising.
LOL yes the fat and lazy Shaq that averaged 23 points 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks on 60% shooting in Miami the next season. Don't be a Kobe nuthugger it's not a good look
Shaq was fat & outta shape and everybody who watched basketball back then could see it. Also, he not only had issues w/ Kobe, he had issues with Wade & Penny too. Yet it's all Kobe's fault the Lakers chose not to pay him lol
...and who cares if he was fat and out of shape if he was bringing 23 points 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks on 60% on a nightly basis?
