Does Shaquille O'Neal still want to play ball? You would think that if he can’t play as many minutes or score as many points he would at least practice his free throws. There are 80-year-old men that make more than 48% from the line. 20 million a year is a lot DOUGH for a guy falling apart and doesn’t seem to care.
I say he is out at least 15-20 games this year and actually hurts the chances of the Suns winning the Championship.
Over paid Over rated and soon to be Over.
His age, and even though he has be given a clean bill of health, are things to really question. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up with team. I personally don't think that he can.
All I know is that it will help keep the seats full at the U.S. Airways Arena!
