I admit I was very wrong. Although he has quite the ego, Shaq is so quick witted with his speach and you can tell he has the brains to be successful with any other endevor he chooses. Best of wishes to the big guy.

Too often we nitpick every single action these guys make and crucify them for every poor decision. With all that exposure, players have developed a persona that they throw out in front of the media to avoid any backlash.

Shaq was great because he “didn’t give a sh*t.” He knew exactly who he was and what he wanted to do, and was honest to himself and the media. That sort of honesty is refreshing, really. Here’s hoping he goes on to a great career in television, because the dude be funny as hell.
