"Superman is still mine," O'Neal said definitively last week. "He [Howard] has to do something first to be called Superman. Anyone can win a slam-dunk contest. The real Superman is dead. He was assassinated by Pat Riley [in Miami]. I'm the Big Cactus now, and ready to roll again." http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/orl-shaq0408apr04,0,702335.story Shaq really needs to be quiet. I would be so mad if I was a Miami fan. All he did was come, win a championship (Thanks to Wade), then get tired of the team and ask to leave. Then he calls out his old teammates and now this.
Why does he keep taking shots at a timeless figure like Riley? There really must have been a falling out between the two. Man, shaq's so called humor is becoming more and more annoying. He just takes cheap shots at people and blames his past on them. Grow up. Here's to hoping Riles has something to say back to shut him up..
I think Shaq is just frustrated because he's in the twilight of his career. He expects everyone to think he is just as dominant as he once was. But in truth, no one feels that way. I'm not surprised but I feel sad for him.
Shaq is annoying at times yes but he delivered on his promise of the championship to Miami. As good as Wade was in that series... none of it would have been possible without Shaq.
Shaq is an oversensitive attention w****. That pretty much explains all his quotes throughout the years.
I'll be happy when they get busted out by the second round. Just feel so bad for Nash. He's doomed now with Fat Cactus.
In my opinion cactus is a terrible nickname. It implies a dry and immobile individual. I'm not a Phoenix fan, so I could care less. Go Rockets!
Haha, I just had to put these here. Here are some of his other monikers. Notice the creativity that goes into each one. And one more from steel. How this fits into what Shaq says, I don't know. Then again I'm a rookie so I should be let off the hook.
Am I the only one that finds this quote hilarious...... Who cares? Look at pat riley now, scouting out prospects while his team is still playing, Pat Riley is the ass here.........
nash is much better off with a frontline of shaq and amare, than amare and marion, so i wouldnt feel too sorry for him.
This topic was discussed. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=113216 Here's what DJ had to say about Shaq (just for kicks). Pretty amazing how things have changed in the past 2 years.
