This is kind of depressing.

Really strange time in collective bargaining with rookies gaining unrestricted free agency immediately following their first deal.

Kind of bizarre that O'Neal cited a reader poll in a newspaper as part of the reason he left. $100 million was an insane amount of money at that point, the types of readers who'd vote about something like that at that point... probably aren't going to be a great indicator.

Nah He wanted out and that's the excuse he gave. He wanted to come to LA from day one.

Damn the butthurt from that one guy. If you have a HOF, of course you put Shaq. Lol

[dazzer87]

Shaq is full of shIt telling them he shouldve stay.......

True words.

If Zo was getting over 100 Million, Shaq should be too.

Also, Penny face at the Olympic press conference when he found out Shaq was a Laker.

Shaq should have at least told him..that wasn't cool. Penny was a good dude and great player for those few years. He just got a bad deal with the injuries.

[Meticode]

Makes you wonder what could've been. If Shaq stayed maybe Penny wouldn't of pushed himself so hard to where his knees broke down. I watched Penny's last season in Orlando and it was hard to watch. A player with so much promise just sapped of everything because of injury.

Then it doesn't end. They chased Grant Hill and Tim Duncan and Tracy McGrady. Landed a stun in McGrady, but Hill just never recovered from his foot injury fully and was sapped of a Hall of Fame all-time career. Then the Magic get Dwight Howard and he jets and leaves the Magic too.

Great documentary. Didn't know those FTs affected Nick that much. Orlando Shaq was just a freak of nature. I love these old schools docs, brings me back to my younger days. GOAT era of bball.

Dam I miss the NBA on NBC so much

It honestly makes me wonder how good Shaq would've bene if he stayed in shape. He was overweight almost all his years after his Orlando days. Don't get me wrong, he was dominate and could take anyone in the paint. Put I prefer the more nimble gazelle Orlando Shaq.

The crazy thing is even with shaq and Kobe the fakers couldn't win without Phil Jackson
