Shaq is releasing his tell all book soon; I can’t deny that I am interested to hear what he has to say about a few players *ahem* Kobe. Here is a preview of what Shaq has to say about Dwight Howard…
“Dwight Howard is by himself. If he doesn’t get four rings, I’ll be disappointed in him. There’s no one for him to go up against,” O’Neal says.
“When I was playing I had (Patrick) Ewing in his prime. I had Rik Smits, Arvydas Sabonis, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutumbo. I had Vlade Divac, Kevin Duckworth. I caught some of David Robinson. (Greg) Ostertag. Guys with size. Now, I couldn’t name five centers.”
I gotta admit that Shaq has a bit of a point there…what do you guys think..
Chippa blowin up once again in Hawaii!
On the night he finally found vengeance, eternal validation and the highest measure of victory to wag in the face of anyone who had ever called him soft or mocked his cough, Dirk Nowitzki wasn’t going to let the world see his tears.
So he left the scene of his greatest triumph before a single teammate or coach could grab him for a hug, faster than he’s ever hurdled a scorer’s table to bolt off the floor, all to sneak back to the visitors’ locker room.
To cry alone.
“I could already feel the tears coming,” Nowitzki said in an AmericanAirlines Arena hallway, beaming now as he explained the mad dash at the final buzzer that superseded any urge he felt to dance on the court inside this house of old horrors … or to stick around and find out how it feels to get a congratulatory man-hug from Dwyane Wade.
“I had to recover, bro.”
The Dallas Mavericks had to drag Nowitzki back to the podium of champions Sunday night, so he could hoist the two trophies of his dreams, all because he didn’t want anyone to see him like this, whether they were in the building or watching on TV. He admittedly “cried like a baby” back in 2008 upon clinching Germany’s qualification for the Olympics for the first time in his career, but Nowitzki confessed that he was literally shaking with shock in the immediate aftermath of the Mavs’ 105-95 dismantling of the Miami Heat to win the 2011 NBA Finals.
“It sounds unbelievable.”
When Dirks shot wasn’t falling in Game 6 – missing 11 of 12 shots to start the game – his longtime teammate, Jason Terry, barked into his ear: “Keep pushing. Remember ’06.”
Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki, the only Mavericks remaining from the 2006 Finals team, have different recalls of Miami’s series-clinching Game 6 win in Dallas.
Nowitzki said he has never watched video of the game. Terry says he thinks about that loss nearly every day, “sometimes in the middle of the night.”
Dallas lost, 95-92, with Terry missing a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
“I remember getting hit in the head with confetti,” Terry said. “Just watching them celebrate, ride off on golf carts, champagne bottles and all that.
“I remember being back in our locker room, myself and Darrell Armstrong, holding each other and just crying the night away. Something I’ll never forget.”
Now Terry is a champion and can erase that horrid memory in 06; now he can remember this night where he scored 27 points and helped his team get the title!!!
