Shaq calls Nash's MVPs "tainted"

[EricForman]

what I say about Shaq CONSTANTLY contradicting himself and saying things for the sake of drawing attention?

check this out from ESPN's weekend dime

I would love to be able to tell you what Shaquille O'Neal meant Thursday night when he said that the MVP voting has been "tainted" for the "last couple years."

But I can't.

Attempts by the media pack at O'Neal's locker to get him to expound were rebuffed. And while it might seem like an obvious shot at Steve Nash, that contradicts the conversation I had with Shaq before the game.

When he asked who I projected to win the MVP award, O'Neal reacted with disbelief when I told him Dirk Nowitzki was leading the race with a third of the season to go.

"Over Nash?" Shaq asked . . . and in a disapproving way, not sarcastically.

You know.. it's pretty funny now that I think about Shaq using the word "tainted".. because that is exactly what the Heat's championship was -- tainted.

In fact.. all Shaq's championships are really tainted because of the way he is officiated.. but especially last season.

Wow...Shaq got that ***** cologne on still?

Why can't the big fella give the small white cunuck some respect?

[KWALI]

wow, this Jason Whitlock guy writes good stuff

this article paticularly, is dead on

http://sports.aol.com/whitlock/_a/ti...22104609990001

like i always say, I find it annoying the way minority always pulls the race card. If a WHITE MAN had written this same article, black people would call it racist. But it's the facts, man.

Vegas during the weekend, every legit or wannabe gangsta rapper, with 20 people entourage, walking around looking angry, all over the strip..... Bill Simmons was right, most "normal" people chose to wait in line and pay to ride taxis than walk half a block to the next casino.

That Uncle Tom is an idiot....So is the black KKK at DUKE when they have strippers at a Lacrosse Team Party? Are they at Colorado when the Coach is messing with students..

When you get a large group of men hyped up **** happens especially when they have money to throw around.
He ever been to Spring Break...I was in Panama City as guys were taking of females bikini tops when they would "show your ****" themselves and I was only one of 5 black people their....

PACMAN being an ass has nothing to do with him being BLACK..and to compare drive by shootings to Lynchings...He's probably the only ni66a in teh states that calls a cookout a picnic.

what an idiot.

Didn't Whitlock get fired in part from ESPN for dissing Stu Scott saying he was always "Bojangling" too much and it was bad.

that is 540' racism right there, a black man fired for dissing another black man for acting how he thought was too stereotypically black, and an embarassment to upstanding black people and the black community.

dizzy yet?

I wondered if I (a white man) would get disciplined for calling Keith Olberman a 'cracker ass cracker'?

probably not

race in America is f'ed up any way you slice it and political correctness has made things a thousand times worse.

yea, if you called anyone a "cracker ass cracker" on TV, then you would probably be fired.

I was there in Vegas. Whitlock was right. I don't know about comparing drive-bys to lynchings...but the Vegas scene was outta control. I don't think the "gangsta" and "groopies" and "entourage" came to town with the intention to start any BS, but the BS did happen.

That's absolute bullsh*t.

[reppy]

Clearly, the media is influencing the reporters.. I mean, I can't turn on my TV without Nash telling me to buy some car or get some cell phone or eat at this burger joint..

I'm being sarcastic. The only time I see Steve Nash in a commercial is that latest Nike commercial, and that has basically every Nike baller in it. So, I don't think that counts.

Shaq is just a big baby.

That's absolute bullsh*t.

Sorry if the truth hurts..

Shaq has never won it all without an all-star at his side...Kobe and Wade.
Yes, Kobe did carry Shaq. Remember, Shaq sat out half the season to have toes surgery "on company time". Then, in the playoffs, Kobe carried Shaq...example: remember game 7 against Portland? Obviously Wade carried Shaq last year. This is not meant to be a knock on Shaq. All Champs have had a one-two punch. Shaq was a dominant center and an all-time top-10 center.

puhlease, classic kobe groopie, one game proves he carried shaq, one game (81pt) proves he is mvp, for each game kobe carried shaq shaq carried kobe tenfold, remember the finals in 00 when kobe shot 38% against single coverage and averaged 15 ppg ? shaq carried kobe and another 10 scrubs in the finals, 1 game is no indication of anything, then in '04 kobe losses them the series against detroit with his ballhogging, its no wonder shaq despises kobe, they could have won 4 rings instead of 3 if it wasnt for kobe bombing away in 04 trying to win finals mvp.

[MaxFly]

Shaq's last ring is tainted so he needs to STFU and go make another rap album

Haha, I was waiting for someone to say that Shaq's last ring was tainted... part of me wishes that Nash would pull a Gilbert Arenas and say something like that... I even hope Dirk would say something...

Actually, I couldn't care less about Kobe. I would trade him in a heartbeat for the right player (Lebron or Wade).
I did not say "One game"...I used one game as an example. Please pay attention to the thread. I'm sorry, where did I say Kobe deserved to be MVP because he scored 81 points? Stop making crap up. AND you missed the entire point of the discussion.
Please stay out since you don't know what you are talking about nor bothering to read. Stop coming around trying to stir something up.

Who said he wasn't right about it being outta control? WHat I said is it being outta control has nothing to do with the race of the participants...more their standing, status and funds. Debauchery doesn't only happen when black jocks are in large groups it happens when any group of 18-30 year olds are together in larges groups who have money to spend and females are they to please or to be gawked at...

I guess Soccer Hoodlums in Europe are also part of the Black KKK?

He's an idiot.
