    Guess so



    Once I heard about the suspension I knew he'd have an article like that saying how Shaq deserves more. I think he's one of the better sports writers that I've read articles from.

    Shaq may have deserved a somewhat longer suspension, but he also deserves credit for not doing this stuff more.

    During the course of a game, he doesn't beat on people. He makes the same power moves everyone else does. He's just bigger and stronger.

    Other centers and power forwards hold and intentionally foul him the whole game.

    The difference is that Shaq faces this EVERY game for 82 regular season games. His opponents face him at most (if memory serves) 5 times during the season. Yet despite the fact that he could at will, he only beats one of them down every couple years or so.

    I respect his self-control.

    The NBA , womens group and gay rights avtivists also loved Iverson's albumn



    Shaq should've gotten a fricking week or something. That man is a fricking giant and he's defending himself?!! Yea, just like that hockey dad was

    Brad Miller is my man!



    I always thought it was funny when my nephew became interested in Shaq during his first NBA season. I'd say



    "Shaq? That little guy? Heck here in Indy, we've got girls bigger than Shaq!"



    And, we DO. Well, one girl. Sandy Allen. We used to cross paths as I was driving to work at Building One, Fort Harrison and she was turning west onto Pendleton Pike to go somewhere.



    I'd love to see a picture of her next to Shaq and size them up.



    Actually, it'd be funny to see HER sucker-punch Shaq!

    If she could stand upright with all her problems, she'd be darn near 1/2 foot taller than Shaq!

    That's pretty rough. I saw her on one of those talk shows. She looked like Andre the Giant wearing lipstick.
