Shaq-Attack "The Real Superman" is now Back!

[Palos]

1. After Shaquille O'Neal scored 45 against Toronto on Friday, Raptors star Chris Bosh said O'Neal had benefited from officials ignoring his three-second lane violations.

"I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before - make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."

O'Neal is the only NBA player other than Stephon Marbury and Bernard King to record 40-point games with four teams.

"I warned these guys he can do that," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.

2. Shaquille O'Neal flopped against Orlando center Dwight Howard. Now he's standing up to Magic coach Stan Van Gundy.
Responding to Van Gundy's reaction about O'Neal's tactics against Howard on Tuesday night, the Phoenix center lashed out at his former coach with the Miami Heat, calling him "a master of panic," a "nobody" and "a frontrunner."

One thing is for sure, Shaq aint done yet! He wants to prove anybody in this league that he still has something in his tank. The Diesel is back or should we call "The Real Superman"!
He dont want to pass the torch to any big men so far. This is the first from quite sometime you hear he voiced out and from his desire on and off the court. After gaining All Star co-MVP, He is now determined, will just ruin the shaded lane!
Diesel/Big Arostotle/SUPERMAN is now back not just for this season but perhaps 2 more years under his tank!

Well, he's back alright, but they are likely to miss playoffs if they don't start winning more winnable games.

Palos, don't de fooled, it won't be long! this season they'll miss PO, and in the summer Shaq will say: "i hate Nash, Amare and Kerr, and i don't want to play in the D-League team anymore, trade me!"

Shaq blasts Van Gundy

Don't get in a war of words with Shaquille O'Neal. He's undefeated in verbal warfare.

Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy took at a shot at O'Neal after the Magic's Tuesday night win against the Suns, criticizing O'Neal for "flopping." O'Neal had gone to the floor while defending Dwight Howard on one play and admitted after the game that it was a flop, "like everyone else does to me."

But O'Neal unleashed on Van Gundy before tonight's game in Miami. He rarely speaks before games but did so to a group of reporters and then again to the Republic to send his message tonight.

First, here's what Van Gundy said, ""I was shocked, seriously, shocked. And very disappointed cause he knows what it's like. Lets stand up and play like men, and I think our guy did that tonight."

Now, here is O'Neal with some more profane moments retracted:
"He (Howard) came with the same old, stale Patrick Ewing move so I tried to stand there and take the charge. The new rules say if you come through, you fall. But as I fell, I realized that it was a flop and it reminded me of Coach Van Gundy's whole coaching career. The one thing I despise is a frontrunner. First of all, none of his players like him. When it gets tough, he will become the master of panic like he did before and he will quit like he did before. The one thing I despise is frontrunners. Yeah, he's got a young team playing good but don't be a frontrunner. Him and his brother and even the legend on the bench ain't done what I've done in my whole career. So flopping would be the wrong choice of words."



"I just tried to take a charge. The (expletive) rules say you can't stand there and get hit. You've got to fall. The (expletive) got the same old stinking move that Patrick Ewing has been doing his whole career. I went down, got up and didn't complain. I see him and Stan complaining the whole game because they've got to. Remember, I've done more than him, his brother and Patrick Ewing."



"Stan Van Gundy reminds me of a broke navigational system. He knows everything about everything but ain't never been nowhere. Think about that. If I'm right here and I type in the address of where you're going, I know where it's at but I'm not going there."


"When a bum says some (stuff) about it and I respond, you can (expletive) cancel that cuz I know how he is in real life. We'll see when the playoffs start and he (expletive) panics and quits like he did when he was here (in Miami). And you (expletive) print it just like that. Do I look soft to you like you can say something and I'm not going to say something?"


"Notice they didn't play me straight up. We'll see how far they go cuz I know Stan. I said this a long time ago but I was actually talking about him: 'When the general panics, the troops will panic. Like in business, when the head panics and takes out all his stock, what happens?"


"All the players hate him. The players don't even like him. I hate frontrunners. I really do. I don't like any frontrunners. There's a pecking order involved. I've been there six times."


"I ain't going to let no bum like him rip me and not say anything back. You can cancel that (expletive) all the way. Usually, I let (expletive) go. Not that. Not him. Hell no."


"The rules say when a guy goes through your chest you've got to fall to get the call. It was a flop. You've watched me play for 17 years. I don't play like that."


"I'm not going to sit around and let nobodies take a shot at me and he is a nobody to me. And if he thinks he can get in a little press conference and take shots at me like I'm not going to (say) something back, he's got another thing coming."

shaq is awesome.
that is by far the best quote i've heard in a while. so confusing, yet makes so much sense.

Shaq's like the class dunce who gets one question right and think he's the damn valedictorian.
