[ESPN] 735 Days: Suns' O'Neal puts timetable on retirement

And throw away a $20MM salary for 09/10? Don't think so. I doubt the aged Shaq has much interest in Europe.

 

Why doesnt he just retire right now?
Before he ruins his career!

 

Why does everybody take this guy so seriously? He's begging for headlines and the media continues to give them to him.

 

"Can I get a ride ride?"

 

This guy just has to create something to get attention from time to time.

 

Man he is 2 years and 50+ million $s away from retirement, with 0 commitments to anything because even if he does terrible at his job he is still gonna get paid. I wish I could say that .

 

Shaq would be dead weight in Europe. He can't score outside of the paint; can't shoot FTs; can't guard the soft, jump-shooting Euro centers.

 

but he can score in the paint? and if freaking scola can score at 60% in europe, imagine shaq's fg%. and i heard europe league is more "physical", so i guess they won't call shaq's offensive fouls...can you say unstoppable... at least in nba you can foul him and let him shoot FTs.

 

Maybe he meant D. Robinson shouldn't have been in the "Top 50 of all time" after all; did you watch the '95 series?

 

i wonder if tmac will ever be included in the top so and so players ever. and how about yao ming. i think if they can win 2 rings they will have to be.

these next 4 years is where its at. they will need all the help ron artest can give them.
