    Shaq said there were "2 and a half" true big men left. Himself, Dwight and Yao...sort of. "Yao shoots a lot of jumpers," Shaq said.

    I used to really like Shaq, but god STFU.

    He is like so many ESPN analyst, he doesn't watch games yet he makes comments.

    Yao is NEVER gonna be a center that can do what Shaq does, but Shaq can't do a lot of things Yao does (shooting & FT% specifically). So how does that make him at all not a real center when 95% of his FGs are inside the paint.

    Shaq is a b****. This dude has had a lot of recognition for his accomplishments and he still feels the need to say stupid sht like this to boost himself. it's like the dude is self conscious or something.

    Shaq has actually praised Yao in the past a lot about his post game. I remember him being on TNT and saying that Yao and Duncan had the best low post games.

    Why you all offended? He was joking around, plus he said Yao is a real center.

    Exactly. Comments get read in text and gets misinterpreted. Shaq has always been a clown.

    Shaq is an idiot sometimes.
    Ask Kobe. :grin:
    He should stick with playing games, appearing on the Disney Channel and hanging out with Justin Bieber.

    Yao has more and better skills than Shaq and DH, although those two may be more powerful.

    I don't think he is taking a shot at Yao here.

    In fact I look at it as a compliment.

    Yao is half a center.

    He only plays half the games.

    I don't know ... it just seems right to defend the players on your team.

    Yeah definitely not at shot at Yao.

    But I thought Dampier was the other Shaq?

    i bet shaq's definition is the old school idea of a big man: bruiser, rebound getter, power house, poor FT shooter (lol), and points all around the rim.

    by that definition, yao is not as good of a bigman as old shaq or current d12
