Come on, Shaq!

I used to like Shaq, but in the last 12 months, a pair of separate incidents have led me to believe that Shaq, as Diddy would put it, is on some Bitchassness.

First of all, is there a reason he bounces from team to team so much? Shaq is one of the 3 greatest centers ever, and definitely in this era... but he can't keep a team? How is that?

Maybe because he's on some bullshit? Just maybe. I don't know the man. Like I said, I tend to like Shaq. He's charismatic, funny, and seems to enjoy himself.

But umm... what's with fucking Gilbert Arena's life up?
And what's with stealing Steve Nash's idea so dirty you had to give executive producer credit on the show idea you stole from him?

First let's talk about "Shaq Vs."

It's a show on ABC where Shaq challenges top athletes to a duel in their sport. Like a home run derby against Albert Pujols or a swimming race against Michael Phelps. It's a cool idea, I might admit. And in the world of sports, who better than Shaq to pull it off? Personality wise, I can only think of a few names, and since he's going to lose, its about the personality of the event. Athletically, it'd probably be cooler to see LeBron or someone younger do it.

Anyway, Shaq didn't make this idea up, or get it from some TV studio. He OVERHEARD a conversation Steve Nash had in the locker room about STEVE NASH VERSUS (or whatever he would've called it). He then took it to his people, got it to a TV studio, and Shaq Vs was born.

How fucked up is that?

Steve Nash, now an ex teammate, heard about it, and to HIS credit, didn't blow a fuse like I might've. There may or may not have been lawsuit and $ talk, but at the end of the day, Steve Nash gets an Executive Producer credit on the show.


Then, there's Gil. Agent Zero. Now $80 Million Future dollars poorer after being suspended for the rest of this NBA season and likely having his Wizards contract bought out or voided.

Shaq, long story short, was fucking Gilbert's fiancee. Text messages and email accounts from alternate email addresses came out earlier this season. Shaq also had a "shoulder injury" for the 2 games before and after the Cavs only trip to Washington earlier this season. I'm calling BULLSHIT, on a shoulder injury there. And I can prove it too.

Gil has since gone crazy. He probably was going to kill Shaq live on national television had he come, so it's good he didn't show up, but lets look at what else is going on in Gil's head. He doesn't even know if his KIDS ARE HIS are not anymore. He was going to marry this woman, and she's a tramp. With Shaq. His boy. Come on son... that'll drive a man crazy enough to bring 3 or 4 guns into a locker room and tell a teammate to choose one for an OK Corral style "DRAW!" duel.

Gilbert Arenas just lost $80 million, his fiancee, and his sanity...because of Shaq O'Neal.

That's fucked up.

I sincerely hope Gilbert did something to Shaq first. Otherwise... he's just plain evil.


All of this leads me to ask one question I never really expected to ask...

Was Kobe really the problem in LA?
