Shaq's Trash-Talking Again; Also, Water Is Wet

Shaquille O'Neal is ready for title No. 5

Sam Alipour at ESPN interviews the Big Crab about his new team and his "competitors" (that he doesn't see as competitors). Some notable quotes I pulled:

Something else LeBron got an odd amount of heat for: What are your thoughts on his decision to skip out on the post-elimination handshake with the Magic?

That was stupid, too. I walk off the court without shaking hands all the time. All the time. Ain't no rule saying you gotta shake nobody's hands. If I don't like you, I'm not touching you. I don't give a s--- what nobody says. I don't want to jinx us, but if we do everything right, we won't be faced with that decision [shaking hands after being eliminated]. But hey, if we are, don't expect me to shake your hand.

Class act. MOAR:

They're calling you LeBron's bodyguard. They're saying you were brought there to counter Dwight Howard.

We're not even worried about Dwight Howard.

Not even a little bit?

Look, his team did a great job of surrounding him with four shooters. If you have one big man with four shooters, like I always had with the Lakers and Heat, it's over. Those shooters, [Mickael] Pietrus, [Hedo] Turkoglu, they hit some big shots.

It's not that Orlando was better. It's just that Cleveland was one piece away. And they have that piece now. So, they're calling me LeBron's bodyguard? That's cool. Call me the Big Witness Protection.

And my favorite delusion quote of the night! (Morning, whatever...):

There are some concerns that you'll slow the Cavs down.

I can play slow or fast.

You really think you can play fast?

Of course I can play fast. I've always played fast. But I didn't start winning championships until we slowed down. Wanna talk about the history of the game? In the last 10 years, show me a fast team that's won. I've been on four champions. None of them were fast.

LOL. Oh Shaq. You suck.

Maybe Shaq should spend less time running his mouth...

…and more time running the floor to get into shape.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

anything to stay relevant eh Shaq? You see how many 3’s they gave up to Rasheed last night. Imagine them having to guard 3’s from 4 different players on the court plus the bench. I cannot wait to stomp the sh1t outta CLE again.

Your title was priceless, TGS.

That’s all that needed to be said.

Perfectly said.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

name me one fast team

that emphasized defense like the Magic the last 10 years. Or name me 1 that had a physical, inside presence

Suns? Warriors? Mavs (Don Nelson)?, Knicks (D Antoni)?

I never understand why critics lump the Magic in with other teams that run and shoot. There is no comparison, because the MAgic play defense inside and out. It’s just laziness, and typical hollow commentating by the talking heads

I really hate Shaq. This just confirms it.

Shaq's a jackass

Shocking.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
