In the 10 years that Shaq has been in the All-Star game..he has only not started twice (including this year). Both times he has been beat out by a Houston Rockets center! Does this make anyone else chuckle?
Another "not known fact".. The first Rocket center to beat out Shaq is the only starter in All-Star game history to have an exclusive shoe deal with "Etonic" so kids could buy his shoes at Payless!
Shaq= MDE "Most dominant ever"= I think not Shaq= LCL "Last center left?"= NO WAY! Shaq= BBE "Best Back up ever?"= Hell yea!!! hahahhahah... He better get use to it because he will NEVER start at Center for the All-Star game again!
This is what I was thinking..Will Ming shut down Shaq for the starting nod..for the rest of his career? If the Asian vote carries as much weight as he says..it will!
Keep in mind that Shaq didnt lose by just 50k votes. He lost by around a QUARTER MILLION! It is also very likely that more and more Chinese will vote in the future. So Yao should be a permanent fixture for the All-Star game for years to come. I think next year, he will truly deserve the starting nod 20 pts, 12 rebs, 3 blks, 4 assist.
Shaq is immature and a borderline idiot. Even now, after the NBA declared that Yao got more paper votes than Shaq, he insists that it's all make believe. Can't he just accept that he's old and boring?
