I think Shaq would choose to retire at the moment he found out that he is no longer the star player of his team.
I agree. Its very likely to be his plan. But if he found for whatever reason, whether physical or mental, that he wasnt ready to retire, I think that this is what he would do.
Maybe add about 150 lbs. and change the jerzey number (13 is M. James - thus far he deserves to keep it).
seriously, the only reason the rox may sign him is to get a team clown, replacing the too-old-to-entertain deke.
Well, Jeff Van Gundy does like to bring in the dinosaur veterans. Why not a dinosaur Shaq? That is, if Van Gundy is still the Rockets coach in 4 years.
What, are you kidding? Great posts are sweet, but some of the most entertaining discussions on these boards are sparked by stupid, immature, shallow posts. It's like a sense of humor to go along with intellect; one without the other blows, but combined, they rock.
I think it is also true that some of the most novel and interesting ideas first arrive in dreams... And you should add the work APPARENTLY.
Guys, I had a dream last night too. I dreamt that Hakeem found the fountain of youth and the Rox resigned him. He then passed his secret to Russel and also re-energized. Then Wilt suddenly reappeared and everybody was like, Wow! Since we already had Shaq and Yao, we dominated with a 5 all-NBA center line-up. The only crazy part was that Deke still never aged and continued to be our 6th man.
