Why does it seem like so many NBA players are afraid to fight Shaq?

[catzhernandez]

Shaq would literally DESTROY that *****.

[iggy>]

derrick coleman will beat anyones ass. shaq thinks hes tough, but hes the biggest ***** in the nba. just look @ the phantom head slap on brad miller for proof.

Wtf? The man is enormous. Simple as that.

Vince Carter tried to dunk on him and got layed out on his back and I think he missed the rest of that game. If a 220 pound man who is one of the best and most aggressive dunkers of all time flying at him can be knocked to the floor, how well do you think a fist would do?

Keep in mind he's a trained police officer so not only can he sit on you but he can grapple you in numerous ways as well. Go get in a fight with Shaq and let me know how it turns out. I'll send you a get well card.

Why does it seem like humans are afraid of tackling bulls and bears?

[EastBayFuNk510]

So what? you think Ralph sampson would have cared about that? He's a man just like Shaq even though shaq maybe a little bigger, you can't be a punk.

Would you fight him?

[F.Sanford]

I mean why are so many intimidated? last week Tracy gets pushed to the ground by Shaq and no one goes after him including Tracy. Then Stuckey gets fouled and no other piston got in shaq's face after that. Why is everyone acting like they are afraid to fight him? I bet you these players would have step to shaq in a second but they are no longer in the NBA

ralph sampson
dennis rodman
bill lambieer
olajuwon
darryl dawkins
moses malone

Is there not any real men in the NBA anymore??

Are you freakin nuts? #1 - you have no reason to say that any of these players would go after Shaq. And if they did, would it be a good idea?:


ralph sampson - snap him like a twig. Might actually punch through his chest to the other side
dennis rodman - if he would it's only because he's certifiably nuts. Good reason?
bill lambieer - Are you kidding? He was great at pissing of smaller guys (and everyone else) and was a big talker. Not much else. Watch him run from Barkley (you wonder about shaq?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ZKB...eature=related
olajuwon - had guts but no history of fighting. BTW - he had his chance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCkU2fKK4_4
darryl dawkins - was big, but who knows...
moses malone - tough for his day. Maybe...

Shaq is just a bully. He picked on mainly white guys just like KG. I remember Brad Miller and Oakley hacking Shaq and Shaq ONLY going after Miller. He was afraid of Oakley. Barkley, who is a lot smaller than Shaq got a double leg take down on Shaq and started pounding him.

If I was a piston player in Pheonix I would have been right in his face after that foul.

Oh I forgot about oakley, he would be another one.

Look VCM...It was like a 10 Minute Clip of the Figth that Was Shown before on a Real angle = Filmed from "Behined". Charles picked up Shaq in 0.5 Seconds and Shaq could not move Barkley at all (Barkley has the Strongest Lower Torso and Center Gravity Ever in the NBA) and Yes Barkley got a bruise because he dodged Shaq`s punch whom skimmed his face and that is why he had a little cutt which happens to anyone who has ever been in a fight . Barkley picked Shaq Up and onto the ground instantly while everone then then got a hold of Barkley to take him off Shaq when he was on top ready to punch. After the camaera showed Shaq`s face was a fraid like a puss*****y cat (go watch the clip urself and you will see it) because he did not realize who tha fu**** he was messing with. Charles is a tender guy, warm hearted, funny etc but if you piss him off he doesn`t give a **** about anything: The NBA, if you are 2 Ft Tall, If you are 8 Ft Tall etc..Too bad youtube eleminated the complete fight and filmed from behined

Type that in English and then maybe I'll read more than 2 sentences, and I use that word loosely.

Very undersized. Maybe he would, but doubt he'd go after Shaq.

And if he would, that makes 2 to 5 people over the span of 30 years you THINK would go after Shaq?

Tell you what - how much do you weight? Go find someone 3-4" taller with 50-70 pounds more strength on them. Then pour your drink on their shoe...

[DuMa]

Ever heard of Esteban Batista? I dont either but guess what happened to his career after gettin sandwiched by Shaq and the earth?

You get the idea you just wont accept it.

Anyhow Charles Oakley was also a bad motha but sometimes a little dirty when fouling. Toughest Rebounder 1 on 1 Charles ever faced according to him.
