Bob*, I like that explanation better. For whatever reason, the thought that other players pity Hakeem and take it easy on him bothers me alot more than when #34 just has a bad game. ------------------
Shaq has always respected Hakeem which is great. I havent got a problem with Shaq (unless he's playing against us!) He's a good player and I think despite what people think he does have a real drive to win. One thing on him not playing as hard against The Dream. Put yourself in his shoes. If you were Shaq would you go all out to beat down on The Dream at this stage in his career....No. I think if you respected a player like Hakeem, you'd do your job, but you would go and score 40 on him. Anyway thats my opinion ------------------ Your Starting Power Forward for the Clutch City Allstars My Expert Opinion Of Steve Francis:Mate he is a special player!
