Shaq: Destroyer of Worlds

Shaq's getting a divorce.  Supposedly, he's sleeping with Gilbert Arenas' fiancee, who is also the mother of Arenas' children.  There's been text messages exchanged between them posted.  Nice work Shaq.  Help ruin two families.    Someone cue the "Mad Men" Season 2, Ep. 7 "Jimmy Barrett" scene when he confronted "Don Draper."

"You wanna step out? Fine......"  If you're a "Mad Men" fan then you know how it goes.

You can take this with a grain of salt if you'd like, but where there's smoke, there's fire.  I usually stay away from posting links like this (I refuse to link "Khlomar" gossip), but this is just more proof of the kind of guy Shaq is. 

For years Kobe was labeled the bad guy, the one who broke up the team, but with all of Shaq's negative exits from teams, being out of shape, his pay demands, stealing of show ideas, raps, and now his sleeping with the fiancee of another NBA'er, doesn't it seem like it's Shaq who's the asshole?  Don't get me wrong.  I'm not going to pretend that Kobe is a saint, but since Shaq left, there have been many stories pointing to the "Diesel" being a selfish jerk.  The type of selfish jerk who has been the cause of problems for 4 teams. 

Good luck Cleveland.

 

*updated:

Seems like this Shaq things dates back.  She used to be a personal assistant for him.  She worked for the Lakers as well.  She sure does seem like gold digging trash.

These are my favorite Kobe quotes EVER! (10/28/2003)
But this is his team, so it’s time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court. It also means no more blaming others for our team’s failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning. Also, “my team” doesn’t mean only when we win; it means carrying the burden of defeat just as gracefully as you carry a championship trophy.
Leaders don’t beg for a contract extension and negotiate some 30 million [dollars] plus per year deal in the media when we have two future Hall of Famers playing here pretty much for free. A leader would not demand the ball every time down the floor when you have the three of us [Malone, Payton, Bryant] playing beside you, not to mention the teammates you have gone to war with for years — and, by the way, then threaten not to play defense and rebound if you don’t get the ball every time down the floor.
That’s ridiculous. I have been successfully sacrificing my game for years for Shaq. That’s what Phil [Jackson] wanted me to do, so I did it. Last year Phil told me Shaq was not in physical condition to carry the trust of our offense, so he asked me to do it. But then he saw Shaq was getting upset that the team wasn’t running through him, so Phil asked me to pull back and I did. This year is no different; my role is whatever Phil wants it to be. Period.
I don’t need Shaq’s advice on how to play hurt. I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
I told Shaq last year that I was planning on opting out. He knew before anyone. I told him out of respect for what we have been through together. I thought he should be the first to know. The fact that he acts like this is such a big shock is a mystery to me. If leaving the Lakers at the end of the season is what I decide, a major reason for that will be Shaq’s childlike selfishness and jealousy.
He is not my quote unquote “big brother.” A big brother would have called to lend his support this summer. I heard absolutely nothing from him. I spoke to Devean [George], Rick [Fox], Mitch [Kupchak], Phil, and our owner Jerry Buss. And Shaq’s own Uncle Jerome called and left three messages. Other teammates like Derek [Fisher], Mark [Madsen], and [Stanislav Medvedenko] left messages as well. Opponents called like [Chris] Webber, [Mike] Bibby, and many others. So did a lot of coaches. Michael Jordan, who didn’t have my home phone, tracked it down to lend his support. So did Tiger Woods. But yet from my so-called big brother, I heard nothing.

Wondahbap, I just had to post. I apologize if it’s too long.

Ur welcome

it was just one interview. I printed it and put it on my cubicle at work. It was just one interview with J. Gray. Here you go…

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1648431

Kobe on Shaq (2003) - "But this is his team, so it's time for him to act like it. That means no more coming into camp fat and out of shape, when your team is relying on your leadership on and off the court.....no more blaming others for our team's failure, or blaming staff members for not overdramatizing your injuries so that you avoid blame for your lack of conditioning.

it even caused me to change my quote on my signature…

Here's more from another article
“As we start this new season, we want [expletive] done right,” Shaq said. “If you don’t like it, then you can opt out next year. As long as it’s my team, then I’ll voice my opinion. If you don’t like it, then opt out.”

That was a reference to Bryant’s plan to exercise an option in his contract at season’s end and test the free-agent market next summer, a stance Bryant has said he won’t change in the wake of his felony sexual assault charge in Colorado.

Asked to clarify his “my team” remark, O’Neal added: “Everybody knows that. You [media] guys may give it to [Bryant] like you’ve given him everything else his whole lifetime, but this is the Diesel’s ship. So … if you ain’t right [physically], don’t be trying to go out there and get right on our expense. Use the people out there, then when you get right you [can] do what you do.”

Yeah but Shaq has the second highest PER average ever.

Where you at Gilbert? Where you at Lebron? That’s what I thought. PER make’s it right! I thought we could use stats to justify everything?

by 99bc99 on Nov 11, 2009 9:58 AM PST reply actions  

so I guess that means he was the most effecient but thats it

he certainly isn’t the 2nd best player ever. Just my opinion.

The thing is

I could understand Ivanka Trump (his ex-wife) marrying him in his heyday …

But he later remarried to a supermodel in the early/mid 2000s recently (it was around the time his combover and his Apprentice show was huge) … blagh
