LOS ANGELES – The greatness of Shaquille O’Neal(notes) demands that his name, his legacy, never drifts far from an NBA Finals. Even when he’s long out of the league, that’ll still be true. For the immortals, the lifetime benefits include the exhaustive examination of the next generation’s stars to your standards.

0bama just wishes he was that good ....
actually Buttcrack is that good in the sense he’s getting what he wants from congress and setting the foundation to transform the USA into a new European Union state.
I work in basketball; right now I am covering the national team trials of our first under-16 national team. The kids are great...so far. I hope that the coach covers sportsmanship today and includes this story in his talk.
Sports is a venue of performance, not cheap politics. It seems that Shaq is being coached by James Carville.
Shame on you, Shaq.
...Shaq is a fat blowhard...when he came into the NBA the league began to groom him to be Jordan’s replacement as the next mega-star....and he began to believe his own press clippings...he’s never been a graceful ball player because he doesn’t have the body for it.
“For the immortals, the lifetime benefits include the exhaustive examination of the next generation’s stars to your standards.”
Shaq should never, ever, be mentioned in the same sentence as Russell, Chamberlain and Alcindor (unless the sentence is something like mine.)
