Pulled this off of the Chronicle: "It's always been easy, it's just that I never cared before. I never cared about shooting 80 percent before. I still don't care -- I'm just taking my time, focusing." For one thing, I don't believe that he doesn't care. I think he wants to do better, but just can't. That said, it must be comforting to Lakers fans, not to mention the coaching staff and Shaq's teammates, that they are losing games because Shaq doesn't care to try to hit free throws.
I'm not going to comment on what I think O'Neal's level of intelligence is. That's not my place. But, what I can say is: "Shaq says some of the dumbest things I've ever heard come out of a professional athlete." ------------------ I have a dream.........his name's Hakeem.
I agree about Shaq saying stupid stuff. Can you believe that he is considered to be a "charismatic person" by the NBA. I thought charismatic people weren't dumber than a box of rocks?
I think he believes most people are dumber than he looks. Most people give up the "I could do it if I wanted to" routine at least by the time they're in high school.
He is so full of ****. So in essence, he is saying that all those times that the game was on the line and teams were fouling him, he didn't care? What a jackass. If that doesn't make him sound like a loser, and I mean that in the truest sense of the word, than nothing does. Peace, ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
