Damn, I've never seen such a great player struggle so much now.

It's hard to watch him out there now as an average player when he used to be the guard dog. Do you think Diesel should just exit to the rest area?

He still has gas in the tank......

I was thinking at the end of this year he should hang them up too. But, if he can still produce, then by all means play the game.
 
hes playing well right now on espn...
hes getting old but nothings stopping that dunk down low if he gets the ball.
 
i think we were spoiled by mj brcause most superstars and legends play until they cant play no more even if they look like shell of their former self out there
 
I really think he should have after he won the title with the Heat. Go out on a good note.
 
Nah. Shaq still has a lot left in the tank. IMO he doesn't look motivated. If he was motivated I think he could get 17 and 10 a game.
 
I think he should retire... As a big Laker/Shaq fan, it hurts to see someone who scored 30 on a daily basis to putting up Chris Kaman type numbers. I want toremember him as that dominant force from the Orlando and LA days... not the guy who's now in the same level as Chris Kaman, Marcus Camby, etc.. But thatsjust me saying..
 
i dont think so. they should just play as long as they can. hell he could even sign another contract after this one if over just to get that bank up

when i get home i'm gonna go look for an old SLAM with shaq on the cover.. from.. i wanna say 98 or 99.


this was like just after he got to LA, where he says stuff like, "at 30, i'm out." or "as soon as i win one ring.."


i liked what he said about penny though - "i don't hate penny, i think he's cool. hate him? for what? because he got millions and i got millions?i'm jordan, he's pippen, i'm puffy, he's mase."

but honestly, shaq's been taking beatings his whole career. i was reminded of this when playing with one of my best friends from high school who alwayspatterned his game after shaq. he's always been that big dude in the middle scoring with power and size. we were laughing about a inter-class game weplayed 10 years ago - running clock, no free throws, so my team's defensive strategy (i didn't come up with it) was literally the hack-a-shaq. we justfouled him hard everytime he got the ball, and they'd just get the ball on a sideline inbound. but yeah, like shaq has said in interviews before - hacksdon't not hurt just 'cause you're big.


i will always remember the orlando shaq - the crazy package of speed, power, and skill.. even the early laker shaq was dominant. but for the sake of hislegacy, i hope shaq will go on a tear and then peace out. go out like kareem, a proud warrior, and not barkley or mourning.
 
They need to trade Shaq, everyone on the Heat is too selfish. J-Will isn't cutting it at PG either.
 
If the Heat are liquidating him, I'd take him on the Mavs in a second and make plans for the championship parade.
 
I kinda wish he would, so that we can speed up our rebuilding schedule, but i dont know, He gave us 24 and 10 and we got blown out by 30,

, the team is awful

yea we're baaadddd this year. and the rebuilding won't start till shaq's done
 
I think shaq should just hang it up he's just taking up cap space for the heat and that's not doing them any good at all. He's inconsistent at thisage as well
 
dude was done last year possibly even the year before that.

he's taking up space for others in the league who can do so much more.

his ego won't let him accept the fact his time has passed.
