0rland0fan 53 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 Heard it live. Best part was how he openly said he would take Otiz's job. Not sure I'd want him as GM, but he did show us some love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 49 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 Shaq has said some of this stuff before on nba tv. Especially the part where he said that Orlando Magic is a great organization and there must be something else behind Howard, if he wants to leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywise316 211 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 Seems like Shaq has softened a bit in his retirement. Interesting to hear him say how often he thought about if he hadn't left the Magic. I bet the Magic would of won at least a couple of rings.. (assuming Penny wouldn't of gotten hurt) definitely makes me think that this "Andrew Bynum is better than Dwight Howard" stuff by Shaq is only meant to motivate Dwight.. because Shaq's a Magic fan..? LOL it's even weird to type out. Shaq being a Magic fan, I mean. I wonder if he sits on the couch in front of his 72 inch HDTV with a bag of chips and nacho cheese stained 6X Dwight Howard jersey freaking out during Magic games. :shard: Or maybe a Dennis Scott jersey, kickin' it old school.

30Assists 342 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 After hearing Shaq on TNT a few times, I get a different sense of him than the soundbites we've been getting the last few years. I think he's trying to push Dwight to "become all he could be." Kind of a tough-love style we're he's telling Dwight: "You haven't earned the right to be called 'superman' yet;" rather than "Dwight sucks compared to me." He's said a few times that if Dwight wants to be one of the greats, he needs to be a 28/18 guy. I tend to agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joseph_Kuhr 61 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 If he is genuine, I would imagine the reception of shaw's "return" would be quite formidable. Similar to the way people in Chicago feel about Jordan with derrick rose in the arena. It would be interesting to see it play out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJSAGE 1 Report post Posted March 17, 2012 During the Bynum thing, Shaq said he thought Dwight was the most dominating C in the league but not the best.... Maybe thats y Shaq takes the whole Superman thing to heart so much....Whenever they raz him about it, u can see how emotional he gets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
