That was Kobe's fault too.

 

Easy to see Shaq's ego is about the size of his massive frame, and he even admitted as such in this documentary.

 

Shaq has had to mend fences with Penny, Kobe, Wade, Nash, Lebron and other former teammates for things he did when he played with them. But folks blame Kobe for Shaq leaving LA. :no:

What could have been... Think David Stern had anything to do with this? There were no RFAs for a small window that Shaq happened to be available to the highest bidder. Business is good when the best teams are in the biggest markets.

I forgot to DVR it so hopefully I can catch the replay.

Orlando screwed that up. They low balled the best player in the NBA. That's on them.

What if they avoided the proverbial Hard Knocks by letting him walk?

They run them all the time especially on Classic.

What could have been if Anderson didn't implode from the line? Thin Shaw was a freak of nature and Penny was ahead of his time.

 

I was amazed to see the fans reaction when they drafted CWebb then the reaction after the trade. Pat Williams toting the Penny cutout while getting booed by the locals was crazy.

The Dream was drinking gatorade out of a can. Looked like a little hugs in his hand.

I saw that too. :lol2:

The Magic look like morons for not making a max offer to Shaq from the beginning. If they had done so and he walked, he'd be the villain forever. By not doing so till the bitter end, they look like punks.

 

No doubt that anyone with a brain knew he was going to be the most important player in the league for years.
